Now…and always. It’s a phrase that can describe a whole host of truths about the life of faith: the presence and power of the Lord, his care and consolations – they are eternally present but must felt in the moment; they are always at hand, but we have to experience them in the now. During this series, we will be introduce the needs we’re currently facing and our best plans for addressing them – getting serious about meeting the needs of now while preparing ourselves to meet the needs we anticipate in the future. More than just another stewardship or capital campaign, this will be an opportunity to re-imagine what it means for us to be the church now and in the future. As such, each week, we will highlight the practical and concrete steps we’re taking to live into being the church we’re called to be. “Heartfelt Worship” based on the scripture from 2 Samuel 6:12-16.

Born blind, a man experiences the power of Christ’s healing love…only to be interrogated by the religious elites of his day.  His personal experience of the Lord and his unyielding defense of Jesus (even before he knew his face) are beautiful examples of the life of faith to which we’re all called.  Using the metaphor of mud, we will examine the earthly (dirt) and spiritual (water/saliva) dimensions of this story as it applies to our own struggles of faith. Profound in its theology and humorous in its composition, this chapter stands as a timeless (and timely) reminder of the Lord’s eagerness to open our eyes to the blindness that afflicts even those with sight. “Blinded by Sight” based on the scripture from John 9:35-41.
