Our lobby has been transformed into a tropical rainforest and we're hoping you can make Vacation Bible School a success!

Stop by the "Items Needed" rainforest display. Tags listing supplies needed for VBS (July 13-17) are hanging throughout the jungle and in our enchanted tiki room.

Simply pick one (or more) tags and return the items with the tag attached by July 5th. Fresh items can be returned on July 12th.

Thank you for helping us prepare for this exciting week.

Praying through the Psalms with strawberry jam. 🍓🙏

This morning we learned about how Jesus can help us through the struggles of life and how we can use prayers and the Psalms to talk to God. We can feel a little mashed up sometimes, like the strawberries were this morning. And we can feel like we’re in the refiner’s fire in life, like the strawberries were being cooked. But in the end, we know Jesus is with us through all of it. We are not alone and we can go to Him in our good times and our hard times. Jesus is our jam and we’re here to spread it!

Thanks to everyone who joined in this morning!

Encountering God’s Word together. 🍝 📖

Through fellowship, meal, and scripture, we gathered tonight as the first of our Table Talk series for this summer. We prepped and cooked the food and then sat down to share the meal, a little Bible teaching, and communion together.

The Bible can be hard to read sometimes. We talked about how to read the Bible in a way that we hope will help others encounter God in His word as we read scripture. Thanks to everyone who came out tonight! It was wonderful sharing a meal and the lesson together.
