Hagar and Ishmael. Names important in the promise story of God. Their story is a part of the Abraham-Sarah epic connection with God. This Sunday we will uncover how expansive God’s promise can be when it is extended beyond what we initially thought-expected-assumed it would be. Could the same be said for our journey?

See you in church. Worship is at 10:00am.

More scenes from the Youth Mission Trip 2026. Three afternoons serving in Camp Point at the Community for Christ Assistance Center-deep cleaning and organizing their thrift store PLUS a lunch time of helping and visiting seniors at the Quincy Sr. Ctr. PLUS an afternoon of serving the needs of Quanada in Quincy. More donations to sort and ready for those in need. Each place we served shed a different light of who Jesus calls our neighbor.

Our worship series “the Promise” continues this week with a look at the presence of God into places and times unknown. The journey of the first generations of God’s people might speak to our own beginnings, wanderings, and hope for God to be beside us.

We will also hear a short synopsis of the youth mission trip and honor our church’s identity as an Open & Affirming congregation. Come ready to sing praise, offer prayer, and be moved by Holy Spirit!

Fellowship at 9:30am, worship service at 10am. See you Sunday!
