In worship this Sunday, we will share the commitments made last week, and celebrate what we are willing to do for others and to bring glory to God.  We will sing the songs of joy, lift up prayers for strength, and see that God is doing so many things in our midst.  Jesus clearly tells […]

Our Fall Worship series has been an in depth look at the word of our Lord, and the call to care for the “least of these.”  This Sunday we invite everyone to join us for taking the next step in our faith journey: to commit to doing what Christ says will be markers of our […]

Convicted felon.  Repeat offender.  Former prison inmate.  These are not the descriptions that often come to mind when we think of the Apostles, but perhaps we should reconsider the amount of time they spent in jail.  Peter, Paul, and John were all imprisoned for preaching the Gospel.  Other disciples also joined them in jail, such […]

Jesus proclaimed that he came to heal.  Then he sent the disciples out in pairs to heal others.  He continues that with us.  Not all healing is the eradication of physical illness.  Not only does the Body of Christ strive to help bring medical healing to others, but we are part of God’s  spiritual healing […]

Our Fall Worship series invites you to dwell with Christ, and immerse yourself in his words from Matthew 25.  Too often his depiction of the Day of Judgement is glossed over, and quickly forgotten as we move on in the business of our lives.  But Jesus wants us to be aware of and attentive to […]

We end our Summer Worship series this Sunday on a critical doctrine that explains that salvation is for everyone without any requirement other than faith.  While there has been an age of debate about faith versus good works, we discover together the richness of God’s love in the simplicity of God’s gift of faith to […]

You may be familiar with the Roman Catholic doctrine of Original Sin, but did you know the United Methodist Church has its own understanding of the concept of Original Sin?  You might be very surprised to discover that our concept is not about guilt, but grace.  You are not the culmination of someone else’s sin, […]

Is the Bible just a book of stories going back 3,500 years ago and irrelevant to us today?  The dragon of relevancy would try to persuade you to believe that, but our worship on Sunday will reveal the truth about the Bible: our Scriptures unfolded over a great span of time to encompass a mighty […]
