Walls to Bridges - World Communion Sunday

October 4, 2020
The first Sunday in October is a day in which we remember that Jesus builds bridges as we celebrate World Communion Sunday. Jesus built a bridge between us and God, and Jesus builds bridges between groups of people previously separate. Paul says that Jesus tore down the walls that divide us. We will share about the symbolism of our new baptismal font and consider what it means to be apprentices of the one who breaks down walls and builds bridges.

 

Choosing Gratitude

September 27, 2020
When there is much in our world that seems overwhelming and out of our control, it's good to remember habits that give us a sense of grounding, focus, perspective and even joy. One of the most basic habits of faith is gratitude. Gratitude is more than a nice idea, it is a simple habit and posture for which God has wired us and that brings joy even in the midst of adversity.

Moving in Faith

August 23-September 20, 2020
Moving in Faith to our new building is an act of hope for the future. We believe in a future with hope, in God's provision, in the community impact God is calling us to, in God's power to change lives, and in the welcoming embrace of God in Jesus Christ for all people!

Abide

August 2-16, 2020
In the midst of all that is going on it is easy to become disconnected from God, from others, and from ourselves. Our routines have changed, our connections are different, and it is hard to find our footing.
