WORSHIP UPDATE
***** This is the plan --- but of course, we all know sometimes plans change! Please bear with us if COVID throws us more curve balls between now and May 9th!*****
Join us in person in the Great Hall this Sunday at 9am - and plan to be with us on Mother's Day as we transition back to the Sanctuary! Worship will also be streamed simultaneously into the Great Hall, which allows plenty of space for everyone to worship socially distanced! Communion will be served in both rooms. Sanctuary doors will be opened for ventilation and masks will be worn.
We will also transition from Facebook Live to a video recording on May 9th. Worship videos will be available online later in the day.
We also encourage you to get vaccinated. Please contact the office if you need help with scheduling or transportation to vaccine appointments. Studies suggest herd immunity is the key to full voiced congregational singing in the future.

Join us at 11am in the Great Hall!

One 9am service will continue to be livestreamed on Facebook.

Please contact the office if you would like to receive communion delivery.

“From the Inside Out”

A Series for RCL Year B - Early Summer

Sometimes we feel trapped inside because of a dangerous storm, a crowd of people, or a global pandemic. Of course, we can also be trapped by our own inner struggles: our doubts, our fears, our regrets. Thankfully, there is always a way out. Jesus tells us we must be born again from above. It is through the water of baptism our old nature dies away and we rise again in Christ. This is why Paul tells us we must renew ourselves from the inside out.

Treasures from Heaven

Year B July/August

What’s in your treasure box? Gold, jewels, souvenirs, gifts? What are the treasures you value most? God offers us grace in abundance and a life of true riches. We are given so much treasure, more than we deserve, and more than we could possibly need. Our true riches are found in Jesus, who showers us with love, forgiveness, salvation, and healing. Jesus is the bread of life, the gift of life in generous abundance. Jesus is our precious treasure from heaven.
