Sunday is Holy Humor Sunday. The whole idea is to have fun. Bring in a couple of (clean) jokes to share, and be prepared to share in a few laughs and giggles. God wants us to feel JOY...and what fills us with more joy than sharing a few laughs with friends. Join us Sunday at 9:30 for a Holy Humor Worship Service.

"Plans have been announced for a national prayer gathering on May 17, 2026, inviting the country to rededicate itself to God. A president openly standing under a cross and making that call is not a small gesture—it sends a message that goes far beyond political lines.

It points to the belief that the nation’s strength and purpose come from a higher source, not just human leadership or systems.

Still, the significance of this moment will depend on what comes next. If it leads to true repentance and meaningful change, it could mark a turning point. If not, it may remain symbolic.

Either way, a public call back to God is a moment of significance—and May 17 may be remembered because of it."

Please plan to join us at 5:30pm on Wednesday, February 18th for our Ash Wednesday Service.

We live in a clock-ticking world at a break-neck pace, trying to accomplish overwhelming tasks day after day after day…
Think about this question: What does it cost to be so busy?

This Lent, you're invited to fast from hurry, fast from worry. Come to God and find a quiet place.

Lenten Services

Join us for our Lenten Series starting with our Ash Wednesday Service on Wednesday, February 18 at 5:30. Then, each Sunday of Lent, the message will help us focus on reconnecting with the unhurried God. Please plan to join us during the weeks leading up to Easter.

The season of Lent has often been a time when we think about "giving something up”—a holdover from its penitential flavor in the medieval church. But what if we thought less about "giving up" and more about "making room?" In this Lent series, we will find out what it really costs to be so busy. Let us reconnect to an unhurried God.

The theme of this series draws on the need for self-care in order to continue our work of caring for others. It addresses the growing intensity and frenetic pace of life. The series will invite folks to practices of making room, clearing out, slowing down, and prioritizing for the sake of holistic lives. This holistic life involves living with the rhythms that allow us to thrive, finding a balance between work, play, rest, and reflection. Jesus calls his followers to more than just unbridled consumption or production. Rather, the Scriptures see our lives and bodies as gifts that should be nurtured.
