✝️ New Sermon Series: Live in Justness, Not in Judgement

"He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
- Micah 6:8

Beginning Sunday, June 14th, join us for our new sermon series: Live in Justness, Not in Judgement.

As Christians, we are called to be just - to live rightly among others because we have been made right with God through Jesus Christ. This series will explore how justness shapes our relationships with our families, our friends, our church, ourselves, and the Lord.

And as we live this way, we are called to concern ourselves with anyone who is not being treated rightly, anyone in need of love and grace.

Come grow with us as we dig into what it truly means to walk humbly, love kindness, and do justice. 🙏

Become a Noteworthy Sponsor for Montreat 2026!

On Saturday, June 20th, children, youth, and adults from our congregation will board a charter bus and head to Montreat, North Carolina for the 2026 Worship and Music Conference. This year's theme is Who'll Be a Witness?

Montreat offers a rich, intergenerational experience exploring vibrant worship, music, and ways to deepen the liturgical life of our church.

It's a transformative week for everyone who attends, from the youngest to the oldest among us. You can be a part of this journey without making the trip! 🙌

We invite you to become a Noteworthy Sponsor and help send our congregation members to this incredible conference. Sponsorship donations are appreciated by June 12th and can be contributed in two ways:

💛 Place a check in the offering plate with the memo "Montreat Noteworthy Sponsor"
📬 Mail a check to the church office

Thank you for your generous and continued support of our church family! ✝️🎶

Dedication Sunday & Stewardship Season ☀️

We are entering our Stewardship Season, a meaningful time of reflection, gratitude, and commitment as we look ahead to the coming year together.

We are asking our congregation to prayerfully consider their financial pledge for our upcoming fiscal year, July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027, and to communicate that commitment to us by Sunday, May 24th.

Our church exists and thrives because God has established it and one of the ways God cares for this congregation is by calling people like you to support it. Your generosity makes everything possible: our staff, our facilities, our worship services, and all the programs and events that connect and strengthen our community.

No gift is too small. Every pledge matters. Please take some time before May 24th to prayerfully consider what you will give, and let us know. Together, we continue the work God has called us to do. ✝️
