 If you have ever taken on a renovation project in your home, you know it can be messy. It takes not only working hard but working on the right thing. The same is true in our spiritual life.  It’s not about just working hard to change your life.  It’s working on the most  important things.  What are they?  Worship with us to find out.

Ever traveled in an HOV lane?  Carpool lanes — as they are commonly called — aid travelers on congested highways by letting people with more than one person in them travel more quickly and efficiently during peak hours of use. But in order to use them, you cannot travel alone.  You need a passenger in the car.  Join for worship this Sunday as we discover what Jesus had to say about traveling together and the one person you need in your life who can help you keep MOVING FORWARD.

A website recently closed that had been open since just before election day in November.  It’s called Just Scream.  The website tells you a phone number to call.  When you hear a beep on the other end of the line, you scream.  It records you screen. On the website you can listen to the recorded screams. Elementary school teacher Chris Gollmar created the project to help people reduce their stress.  Before shutting down this week, they had received more than 70,000 calls from people needing to release their stress.  How do you deal with trouble? Jesus says that we should meet our trouble, our doubt, our anxiousness with…well join for worship this Sunday to find out.  We are continuing our sermon series MOVING FORWARD this Sunday.

Florence Chadwick gave up because the fog rolled in. Many times in life, we give up as well, fall just short, because we get discouraged and anxious when the fog rolls into our lives.  Is there a way through the fog?  When uncertainties and difficulties come, is there a way to overcome our anxiousness and move forward — even when we can’t see what’s ahead? Jesus gave His disciples and us a way through the confusion.  Join us as we continue our sermon series MOVING FORWARD this Sunday.

On long trips to their grandparent’s house, our children used to frequently ask, “Are we there yet?”  They would groan when I told them how much further we had to go.  To inspire them and keep me sane for the rest of the journey, I used to remind them of what we would do and who we would see when we arrived. Thinking on what awaited us helped encourage us to keep moving forward.  Jesus did the same for His disciples and for us.  Join us as we continue our sermon series MOVING FORWARD.

In the movie Groundhog Day, weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) gets stuck experiencing the same day over and over and over again.  Like Phil, we can easily get stuck in these days of COVID, social distancing, and isolation.  But we don’t have to be spiritually stuck.  Jesus gave His disciples some words in John 14 to help them for the days ahead when they would feel stuck without Him physically beside them.  And He wants to speak those words into your life this weekend.  Join us as we start a new series MOVING FORWARD.

Can you remember a time you were late for something? Scrambling around the house trying to find your wallet or keys and getting out the door. We can all look back and remember a time that we can laugh about but what about a time you were left waiting? When someone didn’t show up, when they left you feeling abandoned. We can feel that way about God sometimes when there’s things we begged and prayed for but God seemed distant and late to show up. Join pastor Nicole this Sunday for online church and learn 4 critical things we must remember when we feel like God was late.

CHRISTMAS EVE @ FAIRLAWN: Gather the family and spend a few minutes as we light the Christ candle on our advent wreath, sing “How Many Kings”, and share together in God’s Word.  Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Ever feel alone?  Isolated? Lonely?  With what we have experienced in 2020, everyone has struggled with these emotions at one time or another this year.  But Christmas reminds us that we are not alone.  God has come to stand beside us and be our comfort.  How do we know?  The angel said to name the child Emmanuel which means God with us.  Join us as we continue our sermon series THE SONGS OF CHRISTMAS and hear the great news that He is with us in the song O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
