What a glorious Easter Sunday we shared! Thank you to those who put up the Magnificent Cross of Lilies! This Sunday we continue in the season of Easter. Easter Season is a time of celebrating all the ways in which resurrection is possible in our lives. What holds us back from the joy of life? What binds us, keeping us from the fullness of who God created us to be? What keeps us down? We will explore John 20: 19-31.…

Looking toward Easter Sunday… I am so excited to hear your jokes that you will bring Sunday morning, and I am eager to see the magnificent cross of Lilies in the sanctuary!

We extend sympathy to Valerie Price and family for the loss of Joyce Price. Please be in prayer for…

Looking toward Sunday… In his letter to the Roman church Paul writes, “…the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. “ Our theme for Lent is Listen. Think about your week. To which voices have you listened the most intently? What are the sounds that caught your attention? In my own mind, I cannot help but hear the voices…

We extend sympathy to J.W. Bates, Susan and Calvin Odom, Gary and Jennifer Bates and their families upon the death of their loved one, Betty Smith Bates. Please be in prayer for the family during this difficult time. Looking toward Sunday… As Lent begins, we are going to quiet things down…In worship, we will be attentive to the still, small voice of God and how God speaks within our own self. Lent will feel different…More contemplative and reflective…expect a time…

Let Your Light Shine! It’s Transfiguration Sunday, where the disciples go with Jesus on top of the mountain and have an experience like never before. On this Sunday, Jesus unveils his greatest risk of all, that he will risk his very life in order to proclaim messages of God’s love, healing, and hope. We too must be willing to take risks in order to have life that is fully lived. What are you willing to risk to be transformed? Mark…
