Worship With Us
Sun Jul 26, 3:00 p.m.
Join us on Sunday, July 26 at 10 a.m. (Note the time!) for our annual church picnic and outdoor worship at Sanborn Park! Gather under open skies as we explore the sermon "It IS a Great Catch!" — reflecting on parables of hidden treasure, rising yeast, and the surprising ways God's reign unfolds in ordinary life. Bring a lawn chair and a dish to share!
Sun Aug 2, 2:15 p.m.
The story of the loaves and fishes wasn't just a one-time miracle in the past—God is still multiplying grace, love, and hope in our lives today. As we share in Holy Communion, we gather to explore the reassuring message that whatever we bring to the table, it will be enough. All friends, neighbors, and community members are welcome to this morning of reflection, worship, and shared grace around Christ's open table.
