Hello, friends- now, this was a lovely welcome home, wasn't it?
Much as I've missed you, given the dire weather forecast for the region for the next 48 hours, I'm suggesting we all stay home, safe and warm tomorrow morning, and gather for worship again next week, February 23rd when we will celebrate Communion together.
Say your prayers over an extra tea or coffee in your jammies instead.
With love,
Rev. Trish

Hoping you are staying cozy as we worship together online today since going out is really not a great option while the snow squalls continue. We begin at the beginning in the Gospel of Mark series that will take us to Easter. Let's worship together! (art credit: Baptism of Jesus by Flora Wong)

Bring them to church. Saturate their lives with the Word of God. Even if they lay on the floor. Even if they need 437 goldfish and a sucker to be quiet. Even if you stand in the back swaying back and forth holding them. Even when it’s hard. Even when when your row looks like a small hurricane just came through. Bring them to church. Let them see you worship. Let them see you pray. Let them see you running toward the Savior ... because if they don’t see and learn these things from you, who are they going to learn them from?

The world will teach them it’s not a priority. The world will teach them it’s okay to lay out, not to pick up their Bibles. The world will direct them so far off course, confuse them, and misinform them that just being “good” is enough. The world won’t teach them about Jesus. That’s our job.

Bring them to church.

Hello, friends! You're invited to worship tomorrow at STAKx as we mark the end of this year and prepare ourselves for the new. As part of the service we will take time to acknowledge (silently or spoken) those we have lost and miss. It doesn't have to be a loss that occurred in 2023. Many of us carry with us the memory of love and loss from years before. Together, we'll keep their light shining in this world a little longer yet.
Grace and peace, and a blessing for the new year to you and yours.
Rev. Trish

If someone says "I don't want you to worry, but..." what's the first thing you do? Worry! Right?
So when the Apostle Paul tells us to "be anxious for nothing", he has our attention. This has been an anxious week in the world. I pray today's message gives you hope and peace.

Hello, friends! I hope you are feeling very blessed no matter what the circumstances of your day might be. An attitude of gratitude can change everything.
Here is a shorter worship service today with just scripture, a message (Weeds or Wheat?) a bit of music and an awesome, inspirational story sure to help you see the weeds in your life a little differently.

Good morning, friends- Carrying along with our Fun in the Son series, we've been mountain climbing, and at the lake, and at a party with Jesus, and although it's a little chilly to be thinking of swimming today, we're going to the pool with Jesus this morning! Everyone into the pool! The water's fine!

Good morning, friends! We're continuing the series Fun in the Son where we go with Jesus to places associated with vacations or summertime. Last week we went to the lake with Jesus, where he and friends had been fishing. Today, Jesus goes mountain climbing, and we get into some pretty steep conversations up there at the top.

Hi, friends- we are beginning a new sermon series this week to try to hang on to that summer feeling just a little longer. It's called Fun in the Son and each week we'll journey someplace with Jesus. This week, Jesus goes to the lake, next week he goes mountain climbing and so on.
(Check out today's message which includes Trish and John A's best adventure ever)
