Worship | Palm Sunday (6:30 PM) “Thursday Night Dinner”
Jesus brings us together to become one body, united through the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper. On Maundy Thursday (“commandment” Thursday), we remember the new commandment that Jesus gives us to love one another, and we celebrate Holy Communion along with our children who receive their First Communion. The “Rescue Story” of our salvation through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross begins here. Join us for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter worship as we experience together the Passion…
Worship | Palm Sunday (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Save Us”
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week for Christians around the world. As our Sunday School children join us in worship with palm branches and shouts of “hosanna,” we hear together the story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and we see how events will turn that lead Jesus toward the cross of Calvary- for us and for our salvation. Christians today still need to raise our voices in singing hosanna– “Lord, save us!”
Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Lost Cause”
Text: Luke 22:54-62 Part of our Lenten journey involves us looking with honesty at our own sin and our need for redemption. Before the events of Good Friday unfold, Peter is overcome by fear and denies knowing Jesus. How do our own fears get in the way us following Jesus? Is the cause of Jesus’ ministry a lost cause? Is Peter a lost cause? Are we a lost cause or are there perhaps events coming in the week ahead that…

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Lost Son”
Text: Luke 15:11-31 In Jesus’ most famous and poignant parable, we see how a wayward son is welcomed home by a father who has never stopped waiting, watching, and loving. There is a place at the “welcome home” banquet for each of us as we celebrate the Lord’s Supper and remember Christ’s sacrifice: given and shed for you.

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Lost Coin”
Text: Luke 15:8-10 Do we value ourselves and our neighbors properly? Jesus’ parable of the lost coin tells us that God sees each of us as a treasure and there’s nowhere that we can go where we will be separated from his love for us.

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Lost Soul”
Text: Luke 19:1-10 The story of Zaccheus the Tax Collector is one that shows us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love and God’s redemptive purpose for us. Randy Newman’s old song said that “short people got no reason to live…” but Jesus begs to differ!

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Lost Sheep”
Text: Luke 15:1-7 In the first of three parables from Luke 15, Jesus invites us to think about those persons who are outside of the fold. How does this story inform the way we approach ministry and life as we encounter people who seem to be lost sheep? How is God seeking us and calling us to repentance when we fail to see ourselves as lost sheep who are redeemed by the Good Shepherd?
