January 16, 2022 How You Show Up
Pastor Sean Palmer continues our series on navigating setbacks and
disappointments, as we seek guidance from the life and winding tale of
Joseph. The obstacles and circumstances we face are so often beyond our
control, and we are not immune to the effects brought on by the destructive
choices of others, but we always have our own choices to make in response.
May God bless and direct you in the choices in front of you today.

As we begin this new year of possibility, we find ourselves navigating yet

January 03, 2022 By Another Route
Ericka Graham teaches from the Epiphany story of the Magi; led in
faithfulness to follow a mysterious course toward the infant Christ. So
much of our story in recent seasons has been unlike anything we could have
anticipated. We pray that Ericka’s message will be of deep encouragement as
you seek to see and follow the star guiding you along unexpected paths into
and throughout this new year of hope, liberation, and renewal.

Mike invites us to be attentive to the new life God is growing within us as
we look ahead in hope.

November 21, 2021 Lost Enchantment: Once It's Found
Pastor Sean Palmer offers an important word as our fall Enchantment series
draws to a close. Engaging once again with the story of Moses, we are
reminded that enchanted encounters with God, at their essence, are
invitations which point us toward sacrificial love. Our sincere hope is
that this series has been impactful, challenging, and has led you into a
deeper attentiveness to the presence of God all around you.
