SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2026
This week's worship service is special as we celebrate the many ways that God's grace works in our lives. We are celebrating three baptisms, and six students confirming their faith in Jesus. Most of all, we are celebrating God's great salvation of the world that took place in the life, death, and resurrection of his Son, Jesus.

Come and celebrate with us at 9:00 AM.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

SUNDAY WORSHIP: AUGUST 30, 2026
This Sunday we are continuing our short series St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians where he reminds his friends that God's grace and salvation mean that we are no longer enemies with one another, but are joined together in peace by the blood of Christ. Let us remember this good news as we prepare to gather Sunday at 9:00 AM.

FROM "DREAM WITH ME" BY JOHN PERKINS
“Right before Jesus went to the cross, He prayed that all believers, past, present, and future "may be one, as You, Father are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me" (John 17:21 NKJV). This was Jesus's prayer for us all, yet more often than not, I fear we have not lived up to it. Instead, we fight for our own way, for our selfish desires, for our right to be superior. We build churches centered on our own cultural ideas of God, rather than on seeking to bring us back to Him. And then we fight with other churches and religions about who is serving their personal culture god the best.

Come dream with me. Dream of a fight for something bigger, something more important and worthwhile. We need to fight for justice and peace, for the walls between us to come crashing down...You have to be a bit of a dreamer to imagine a world where love trumps hate--but I don't think being a dreamer is all that bad. Joel prophesied that God would "pour out [His] Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions" (Joel 2:28). I'm an old man, and this is one of my dreams: that my descendants will one day live in a land where people are quick to confess their wrongdoing and forgive the wrongdoing of others and are eager to build something beautiful together." - John M. Perkins

SUNDAY AUGUST 22, 2026
Join us for worship at 9:00 AM, coffee and donuts at 10:00 AM, and everyone is invited to join us at 11:30 AM for our "All Church Confirmation Lunch" to talk about baptism, confirmation, membership, and growing in our faith.

SATURDAY REFLECTION: GRATITUDE FOR GRACE
"No one can be proud of being saved. Each one can only fold his hands in great lowliness of heart and be thankful like a child. Consequently we shall never possess salvation as our property. We may only receive it as a gift over and over again, with hands outstretched. ‘By grace you have been saved!’ This means constantly to look away from ourselves to God and to the man on the cross where this truth is revealed. This truth is ever anew to be believed and to be grasped by faith. To believe means to look to Jesus Christ and to God and to trust that there is the truth for us, for our lives, for the life of all men."
