What are we doing here every Sunday…? We want to avoid rote, obligatory worship that is little more than habit. We want to avoid indulgent, experientialism, entimentalism, and endorphin rush. BUT We need both: steady and dynamic, the depth and the height, the trellis and vine. Regular, relational, loving practices require regular, vigilant attention. The Beauty of Holiness will be our series for the rest of the summer. We’ll look into the Sunday gathering and refocus all the different aspects of its beauty.

This Outreach Sunday we had the pleasure of hearing from one of our missionary partners, from India. We have supported Dr. Matthew Thomas through prayer, finances, and many trips from our leadership for over 20 years.  Dr. Thomas has countless stories of the amazing work God is doing in India and across the world.  Time spent listening to and interacting with this great man of God is always beneficial.  Be blessed as you listen

Our capacity for love is tied to our capacity for WONDER! The trinity offers the perfect opportunity for this wonder. Be blessed as you listen.
