The Lord’s Supper, or Communion, is far more important than we may realize. It’s not just something we “do” at church, it’s a physical, tangible reminder of what binds us together as the Church. The Lord’s Supper is a reminder of Jesus’s death and sacrifice on the cross. It is a promise of His future return. It is an opportunity for us to examine our hearts, lives, and posture before the Lord. It is a communal experience of grace with our faith family.Today, we will see how the The Table helps us look back, and remember the sacrifice of Jesus.Thanks for joining us today!

Why does my joy never last?As we celebrate the Christmas season, all of us will find ourselves in different seasons. Maybe this Christmas has felt full and joyful, or perhaps this season of your life has made joy feel like a distant memory. Today we are diving into the Christmas story in Luke 2. It is here that we see that the timing of the very first Christmas was terrible... However, the circumstances didn't dictate the joy: Jesus did. Joy came in spite of everything. So, as the holidays wind down and you wonder where your joy has gone, remember that real, lasting joy is found in Jesus and Jesus alone. We hope you are encouraged in this season and find joy in the true meaning of Christmas.Thanks for joining us today!
