Worship Services (Page 2)

In our complicated and busy world, we are called to “do” yet often long to “be.”  How can we align the “Martha” and “Mary” in us, and where does “resting in Jesus” fit into our lives?

Today we close our stewardship campaign with Consecration Sunday. As we bring our pledges to the altar, we are not just making promises of giving, we are “consecrating” them, dedicating them to a higher purpose.

As we consecrate our pledges, we acknowledge that they will be blessed and multiplied by God for ministry in this world. Our services are now being held with in-person attendance, at 10 a.m. Sunday morning.  Today’s service is provided below in its entirety in video format. Our ScriptureRead More →

Our services are now being held with in-person attendance, at 10 a.m. Sunday morning.  Today’s service is provided below in its entirety in video format.
