Advent Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Coming Peace”
Text: Isaiah 2:1-5 We focus on the vision for peace that God has for us when the Prince of Peace comes. The prophet Isaiah paints a picture for us of the coming peace when “nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” In our weary world that has seen too much of the devastation of war, our hearts cry out: “Come, Lord Jesus!”

Worship (10:30 AM Blended) “Uncorking Grace”
Text: John 2:1-11 The first recorded miracle of Jesus’ ministry happened at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. When Jesus turns water into wine, he not only saves a family from potential shame and embarrassment, but he also sets a pattern for all future miracles: to point people to the larger miracles that are performed each day by God the Father as water is continually turned to wine through the rains that come to nourish the vineyards.

Easter Wiggle & Worship
Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! On Easter morning, Christians around the world gather to celebrate the most significant event in the life of the church. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive! Easter changes everything.
Maundy Thursday “No Ordinary Love”
Deuteronomy 6:4-9, John 13:33-35 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 service also offers the opportunity for all to receive a blessing and the assurance of forgiveness through the laying on of hands, an ancient practice…
Lent | Worship “God is With Us”
Text: Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. God provides a ministry of presence that sees us through life’s most dark and challenging times. What does the cross of Christ teach us about God’s promise to show up in suffering?
“Fear” (10:30 AM Blended)
Text: Ezekiel 37:1-14 Fear can hold us captive since there are so many unknowns in life as we face the future. God showed the prophet Ezekiel a vision that gives us the key to understanding life’s most fearful challenges: God is bringing about life from death and God is bringing us new life through Jesus each and every day. Our Lenten journey begins with a powerful affirmation of new life in Christ.
