Tonight!

What does it mean to love in a world that seems so often to be divided by fear, conflict and competing claims about what is right? How do we hold onto hope when the changes we long for seem slow in coming?
Join us this Reformation Sunday as we explore what it means to live a faith shaped by *just love*.

Services at Wesley Church this Sunday:

11am and 6pm

What do we do when we cannot see clearly what lies ahead?

This Sunday we encounter two challenging biblical stories about uncertainty, fear and belonging. In the wilderness, Moses is absent for too long and the people become anxious. They want something they can see and hold onto, and so they make a golden calf. In Matthew’s story, a wedding invitation becomes a disturbing tale about who is included, who is excluded, and the boundaries we draw around belonging.

Join us this Sunday for exploration of these stories at 11am and 6pm.
