This Sunday, June 7th, at Ankeny Presbyterian Church:

Sometimes the way of Jesus looks a little unreasonable.

In Mark 3, even Jesus’ own family worries that he has gone too far. Religious leaders accuse him of being dangerous. Yet Jesus continues healing, welcoming, and restoring people.

This week we'll explore The Trouble with Following Jesus—and discover how love, grace, and inclusion often look risky before they reveal themselves as holy. Along the way, we'll consider where we might be mistaking discomfort for discernment and how God's Spirit continues to surprise us in unexpected places.

Will you join us?

Missed service on Sunday? Last Sunday’s message reminded us that the Spirit doesn’t erase our differences, it speaks through them.

At Pentecost, the Spirit doesn’t erase our differences — it speaks through them. This Sunday we reflect on how God’s love breaks free from tribalism, fear, and narrow boundaries, reminding us that beneath all our differences, we belong to one another. Different voices. Different stories. One Spirit.

And that truth doesn’t end when the service does. Every Sunday, we gather as different people with different stories, yet connected by one Spirit, one love, and one shared belonging. We hope that you will join us this Sunday!

What if faith begins not with proving ourselves, but with belonging?

This Sunday at Ankeny Presbyterian, we’ll reflect on Jesus’ prayer in John 17 and the good news that no one is chosen last in the kingdom of God. We are shaped not by fear or performance, but by love, community, compassion, and shared mission.

Following Jesus isn’t about escaping the world—it’s about living with kindness, presence, and courage right in the middle of ordinary life.

“One in Love, One in Mission” reminds us: we belong to God, we belong to one another, and together we are sent into a world God still deeply loves.

Join Us Tomorrow, in person or online!!!
