"Know, Serve, Share – Together" shapes our mission as a church community. On Vision Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to deepen our knowledge of God, serve others with purpose, and share the hope of Christ. Join us to align our hearts and lives with God’s greater vision, together!

Advent is a season of expectation and reflection, inviting us to discover the profound and selfless love of God. This love was revealed through the birth of Jesus, God’s ultimate gift to humanity. It’s a love that transcends circumstances, offering hope and purpose.

During Advent, we are reminded to not only receive this love but to reflect it in our lives—through acts of kindness, forgiveness, and compassion toward others. As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, let us embrace the transformative power of God’s love and share it generously with those around us.

In the book of Nehemiah the Israelites had just rediscovered God's Word and were moved to tears by its power. Yet, Nehemiah encouraged them to celebrate, for God's joy was their source of renewal and hope. This joy is not fleeting happiness tied to external situations; it is a deep, sustaining assurance of God's presence, love, and faithfulness. 

When we anchor ourselves in this joy, we find strength to endure challenges, courage to face the unknown, and peace in the midst of trials. Let the joy of the Lord become your strength, empowering you to walk through life with resilience and confidence.

Let’s talk about peace—the kind only Jesus, the Prince of Peace, can bring. Even when life feels overwhelming, His restoration and hope are always available. This Advent, take a moment to reflect, pray, and experience His supernatural peace. Tune in and join us as we discover what true peace really means!

The season of Advent starts with Hope! No matter the challenges you face or how hopeless life feels, remember this: God is the ultimate source of hope.

He has proven time and again that He restores, redeems, and revives. Tune in to be encouraged and reminded that hope is always near.

"Stir up Sunday” is a chance for us to explore what it means to live with humility, bring hope to those around us, and stay courageous as we ready our hearts for Jesus.

Join Matt Blyth as he helps us get ready for the coming Advent season by looking at the life of John the Baptist. You’ll learn how John’s example helps guide and inspire us to make people aware of the good news of Jesus.

Friendship House offers a warm, welcoming space where anyone can enjoy a meal, access a food bank, find clothing or household items, and connect with others.

We are thrilled to have Rev. Shawn Erb with us today to talk about Friendship House's mission of service, faith and community in action!

Baptism is more than a ritual; it’s a powerful step of faith. It symbolizes leaving behind our old life and rising brand new, identifying with Jesus’ death and resurrection. Through baptism we proclaim our commitment and transformation, embracing the new life we have in Christ. 

Hearing the stories of others enriches our understanding, builds empathy, and nurtures connection – essential elements for creating a supportive community. By truly listening, we engage with a range of experiences and perspectives, helping us form deeper connections. This shared respect lays the groundwork for trust, unity, and a genuine sense of belonging for everyone involved.

This week, 'Our Stories' highlights Gary & Deb Minnie. We hope you're encouraged by their story!

Hearing others' stories deepens our understanding, strengthens empathy, and fosters connection - all things that are vital for building a supportive community.  When we listen, we share in diverse experiences and perspectives, allowing us to relate on a deeper level. This mutual respect creates a foundation of trust, unity, and a sense of belonging for each of us.

This week 'Our Stories' features Carol Carter. We hope you enjoy!
