Worship (9:00 AM Traditional) “Saying No Will Change Your Life”
Luke 4:1-13 Perhaps our lives, every once in a while, would benefit from an audit. How do we spend our time? Are we efficient? Are we doing what we have been called to do? How much of what we do is an old habit or the result of feeling like we’re stuck? The point this week will be: thinking about the things that we do or focus on that doesn’t bring joy and goodness into our lives. And also, when…
Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Saying Yes Will Change Your Life”
2 Corinthians 1:18-22 This is the topic so I can show a clip of the Jim Carrey movie: “Yes, Man.” Many times when people ask us to do something, even before they go for the ask, we are thinking of how we can say no. After all, we are all so busy as it is. There is simply no more time for doing one more thing. That is, unless the ask is about something that we love doing. The point…

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Having an Open Heart Will Change Your Life
By a certain age, many of us have formed quite strong thoughts, feelings, and opinions about most things and a lot of people. In all candor, it is best for us to, each and every day, enter the world with an open heart – giving all people a chance to surprise and impress us. Many times our preconceived notions about things and/or people adversely affect our live with others and the world at large.

Christmas Eve Worship (3:30 PM) “Because We Can’t”
This service will feature special music from our Canticle Choir and orchestra, directed by Larry Bach, and soloist Elliana Meier. We celebrate Christmas with beloved carols, choral music, and an inspirational message for all of God’s children.
Advent Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “What’s in a Name?”
Text: Isaiah 7:10-14 How often do we say, “Lord, just give us a sign…”? And God says, I have just the sign for you that you need more than anything: Immanuel, God with us. As Christmas approaches, we hear of God’s greatest gift to humanity and we respond to this gift with our devotion, our obedience to God’s will, and our hearts filled with praise.
Advent Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “What Do You Want for Christmas?”
Text: Matthew 3:1-12 We do a lot to get ready for Christmas but what does John the Baptist mean when he says “Prepare the way for the Lord?” How can we carve out some time for spiritual practices in the midst of a busy season so that we experience more fully the coming of Christ at Christmas?
Advent Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “An Everyday Thing”

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Being Church Together – Part 1”
Text: Psalm 133 In a time where we see an almost unprecedented amount of divisiveness in our nation and our world, it’s important to focus on how we do things differently in the church. God has given us a vision and blueprint for how we can experience the richness of doing life and doing ministry together. Join us as we reflect on the blessings of God and how the church can make a lasting impact on our community when we…
