We are glad to welcome our guest preacher, Rev. Dr. John Ross, who will be leading us in worship and sharing God's Word throughout the four Sundays of June.

This Sunday, we will celebrate Holy Communion together as we begin a new worship series centered on joy.

Often translated as "blessed" or "joyful," the Greek word makarios is much deeper than happiness. It is not simply everyday cheer, but a God-given joy—a deep state of blessedness and a gift from God.

📍 Join us for worship at 10:00 a.m.
💻 Worship online: https://vimeo.com/event/1431755

All are welcome!

We hope you’ll join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. for worship!

This week, we welcome guest preacher Rev. David Felten— pastor, musician, and co-creator of the progressive Christian curriculum series Living the Questions.

His message, “Windswept and Willfully, Won’t Behave Woke,” is inspired by Acts 2 and explores how Pentecost invites us into a kind of holy awareness and creates connection across difference.

We hope you’ll join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. for Children’s Interactive Worship!

This week’s theme is “Love Is Something If You Give It Away.” We’ll have lots of music, movement, and fun for all ages.

Come just as you are—distracted or focused, wiggly or calm, quiet or loud. Together we’ll move our bodies, use simple language, and engage in interactive traditions as we explore new ways of encountering God.

We’re also glad to welcome Guest Preacher Rev. Roger Parrish-Siggelkow for his fourth and final week with us!

We’re glad to welcome Guest Preacher Rev. Roger Parrish-Siggelkow for the next four weeks.

We’re all aware of the great divide facing us in America. As faithful followers of Jesus, what can we do as a church and as individuals to be peacemakers? This Sunday, in sermon and a song Pastor Roger asks how we might see and be ‘better.’

We hope you will join us for worship on Sunday at 10am, in person or online: https://vimeo.com/event/1431755.
