Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed! Easter worship led by Pastor Sue Francis at 10:30 this morning! We'd love to see you; all welcome! Alleluia!
Dear Lord, early in the morning while disciples slept, You tiptoed quietly past, breaking the power of death and opening the way to eternal life. The empty tomb stands witness to Your triumph over death. Help us that we may testify that You have “risen indeed,” as we share the glad news that You live, not just long ago, but even now. Amen 🙏✝

Tonight at 7 pm! Maundy Thursday service led by Pastor Sue Francis. We'll gather in community to reflect, remember, and share in holy communion.
God has delivered us from bo***ge and has set us free. This is a night of remembrance. Washing our feet, Jesus shows us that to love is to serve. This is a night to reflect on our faith. Bread is ready to be broken: the fruit of the cup is ready to be poured. This is a night to journey to our past. A new commandment has been given: Love one another. This is a night to reclaim our story. Through these acts, we remember that our story lives on. This is a night of remembrance. On this night, let us worship God.

Begin your Lenten journey at 6:30 pm tonight with Pastor Sue Francis and her imposition of ashes, communion, and message. Join us for soup and sandwiches just prior at 6 pm. Accessible by ramp to the sanctuary level on the east side of the church and also a lift to both dining room and sanctuary levels on the west side of the church. We'd love to see you tonight!
Holy God, we come to You aware of our sinfulness and shortcomings. Yet, we are also aware that we are made in Your image. Even as we have received the watermark of the cross at our baptism, we also, this night, have an opportunity to receive an ashen cross upon our foreheads—another sign that in life and in death, we belong to You through the name of Jesus the Christ, crucified, risen, and coming again. Amen ✝

Good Sunday morning Church! Blessed to have Pastor Sue Francis lead us in worship communion, and our All Saints Day remembrance this morning at 10:30 am. All are welcome at the Table!
Holy God, You call Your people into one beloved community, timeless and without end. If we would but listen, we could hear the teacher who never gave up on us and the friend who talked to us when no one else would. If we would but look, we could see the grandad who always had much to do but would stop and make time for us and the neighbor who always let us pet her dog. If we would but pay attention, we would learn from those who fought dragons in ancient tales and those who faced down folks who would lead us astray. The saints are all around us, so make us mindful of them, O Lord, our God. Amen ✝🙏

May we be open to the Spirit who quietly nudges us to love and serve even more deeply. Help us be your hands and voice so that we can help others experience your unconditional, forgiving love. Amen

Good morning church! Worship at 10:30 led by Pastor Sue Francis, World Communion Sunday. All are welcome at the Table!
Make Your presence known to us, O God through Your Table that transcends time and space. As Your disciples on this World Communion Sunday, we join our voices to the songs and prayers offered to Your name throughout the world. Increase our faith and give us the grace to love and forgive one another, as You have loved and forgiven us. Grant us the courage to live in love with You, in You, and for You. For the sake of all Your beloved children, we pray. Amen
