We look forward to seeing you tomorrow as we receive the gift of Holy Communion. We will be invited to consider what it means to be blessed by God, through the lens of Matthew 9.

God doesn’t want the Pinterest-perfect version of you. God wants all of you.

Join us at Jesus table tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. All are welcome.

In Matthew 5, Jesus reminds us to "...love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us."

Wouldn't the world be a much better place if we all did that? Let it start with you.

Matthew 28:16-20 Commissioning of the disciples
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted. 18 Jesus came near and spoke to them, “I’ve received all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, GO and disciple all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.”

A gentle reminder, beloveds…please slow down AND be on the lookout for scooters, motorcycles, bikes and kids.

HAPPY SUMMER! Congratulations to all seniors who graduated yesterday! May the future be bright!

On that note, there were kids on almost every block yesterday. That will not change until school starts up again in the fall. PLEASE DRIVE RESPONSIBLY. Parents, talk with your kids about traffic safety.

The amount of driving complaints and hit&runs have multiplied within the last two weeks, two just yesterday. One suspect vehicle was found and the driver arrested for DWI. The other, also caught and cited for multiple offenses including no driver’s license and failing to yield.
We are out there, we are committed to doing our best!
