Endings and transitions bring change, and very possibly fear, anxiety, and sadness. But let us remember that God is at work fulfilling God's good will.

We may be reluctant to close a chapter in our life, but let us trust God together. God was here before us, God is here with us in this moment, and God will see us through.

Epiphany Sunday

Epiphany refers to something being revealed or a sudden insight.

What would happen if we experienced an epiphany revealing Jesus beyond our tame expectations? Why do we often avoid what we consider "costly" steps of faith that are actually the path following Jesus?

Christmas, the birth of Jesus, does not end with Jesus laying in a manger. It is an amazing revelation of God's love, that he would send his Son into the world so that we might live through him.

Christmas Eve

Like the shepherds, let us go an see the Christ-child that God has given.

Our worship service tells the story of God's great expression of love through, song, scripture and the sacrament of communion.

Please consider gathering communion elements from your home for communion such as bread, crackers, water, juice or wine and a candle to light later in the service.

The First Sunday of Advent

God's peace is found in God's ways and as we fulfill God's purposes in our lives. We often fail to experience this peace when we expect God to change our circumstances, rather than offer ourselves to God's transforming power. As God works in our lives many of the things we would otherwise avoid become the very places where God will bestow his greatest blessings as we serve him in the midst of the world's greatest needs.

The Gift of Gratitude

The Gift of Gratitude Thankfulness is often considered something we do when we have everything we want or need. Instead, the real power of thankfulness is when things are difficult. Thankfulness is not only the result of having reason to be grateful, it is also the path to discovering reasons for gratitude.

When we take even a moment to think of what we can be thankful for, it opens our eyes and heart to sparks of hope, even when things are dark. Then, having seen one thing for which we are grateful, we begin to see others, which together bring a little light to dark times and places.

Through Prayer

The Apostle Paul was in prison when he wrote the following words:

It is easy to sing happy songs about Jesus when things are going the way we want, but God's great desire for us is to know that we can rejoice even when things look the darkest.
