Who or what is shaping the hearts of the people around us?

Every day, influence flows from someone or something. Voices shape attitudes. Songs shape hearts. Fear shapes decisions. Communities shape values. And whether we realize it or not, our lives are shaping the people around us.

This Sunday, join us for Family Worship as we explore the powerful influence of worship through the life and songs of David.

In 2 Samuel 6, the Bible says:

“David danced before Yahweh with all his might.”
— 2 Samuel 6:14 (WEB)

David understood something many people have forgotten: the presence of God changes people. His worship, faith, repentance, courage, and songs shaped a nation and inspired generations. David’s life reminds us that worship is not merely music during a church service—it is a life surrendered to God that influences homes, neighborhoods, and communities.

And our communities need that kind of influence today.

Many people are quietly struggling with loneliness, discouragement, anxiety, division, and spiritual emptiness. The world often responds with louder opinions and deeper division. But God offers a different answer.

God changes communities by changing people.

This Sunday we will discover how God uses ordinary people to become visible examples of hope through wholehearted worship and Christ-centered living.

Whether you are strong in faith, carrying burdens, searching for hope, returning to church, or simply needing encouragement, you are welcome here.

Come worship.
Come pray.
Come reconnect.
Come be encouraged.
Come experience community and hope in Christ.

Children, youth, adults, grandparents, neighbors, and friends are all invited.

Worship @ 9:30 AM/Fellowship After the Service

Life scatters people. Dance before the Lord with wholehearted faith and love that helps bring people home.

Every person faces battles in life.

Some battles are visible. Others are hidden deep within the heart. Many people today are carrying fear, discouragement, stress, uncertainty, grief, temptation, loneliness, or exhaustion. We often try to appear strong on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside.

That is why the life of David speaks so clearly to us today.

David was not victorious because he was perfect. He faced giants, enemies, betrayal, failure, fear, and seasons of deep pain. Yet through every season, David learned to trust the Lord as his Shepherd, refuge, defender, and song.

Before David ever stood before Goliath publicly, he learned to trust God privately. And that changed everything.

When others saw a giant, David saw an opportunity for God to show His power. David declared with confidence, “The battle is the Lord’s.” His victory did not come from his own strength. It came from faith in the living God.

That is why David sang.

The Psalms of David are not shallow songs written during easy times. They are songs born in caves, wilderness seasons, battles, tears, worship, repentance, and trust. David sang when he was afraid, when he was victorious, when he needed mercy, and when he remembered God’s faithfulness.

His songs continue to strengthen God’s people today.

This Sunday we will hear words from the Psalms that have encouraged generations:

“The Lord is my shepherd.”
“The Lord is my light and my salvation.”
“I will bless the Lord at all times.”
“He trains my hands for battle.”

These songs remind us that faith is not pretending life is easy. Faith is learning to trust God in the middle of the struggle.

This Sunday’s Family Worship service will include Scripture, prayer, encouragement, worship, and songs of victory for all generations. Children, youth, adults, grandparents, neighbors, and guests are all welcome.

Family Worship begins at 9:30 AM, followed by fellowship and encouragement together as a church family. Stay after worship to meet new people, enjoy conversation, pray together, and continue growing in faith and community.

This Sunday, come join us on the hill in Healdsburg for worship, fellowship, and a new victory song for your heart.

Wake Up to the Music of David

What you listen to shapes what you live for. Every heart has a playlist: fear, hurry, distraction, regret, comparison, anger, or worry. But David’s heart was tuned to something better. Before he faced Goliath, he remembered the God who had already helped him. Before he took revenge on Saul, he honored God’s authority. After he sinned, he heard God’s Word, confessed, and received mercy.

David was not perfect, but he was awake to God.

This Sunday, we continue our DAVID series with the letter A: Awareness. We will see how God awakens our hearts through His Word, worship, and Holy Communion. Jesus, the Son of David and our Good Shepherd, calls us to turn down the noise and listen again to His voice. When we are awake to Christ, fear loses power, mercy becomes personal, and our lives begin to shine with His light.

So, come as you are. Bring your weariness, your questions, your family, and your need for grace. The Good Shepherd is here to forgive, restore, lead, and awaken us to life in Him.

Life gets loud.
Between responsibilities, worries, and constant noise, it’s easy to find our hearts shaped by whatever is loudest instead of what is true. Before long, we’re reacting instead of living with clarity and purpose.
This Sunday, April 19 at 9:30am, we begin a new series: The Life and Songs of David—starting with a powerful question:
What’s playing in your heart?
In this first week, we focus on Awareness—Preparing a Playlist for Your Soul.
David’s life reminds us that what fills your heart shapes how you live. When your heart is tuned to God’s voice, your life becomes steady, focused, and full of faith. But that begins with learning to listen.
Together, we’ll explore how God still speaks today—and how we can quiet the noise, recognize His voice, and respond with trust.
You can expect:
Encouraging, Christ-centered worship
Scripture that speaks directly into everyday life
A clear and practical next step for your week
A welcoming community ready to walk with you
Whether your heart feels full, distracted, or searching, this is a place to reset and refocus.
Join us this Sunday at 9:30am at @1402.
Bring your questions. Bring your burdens. Bring your whole self.
Let’s begin building a playlist for the soul—one that is centered on God’s truth and filled with His peace.
We look forward to worshipping together.

Today, we celebrate Epiphany, which commemorates when the wise men followed the star to worship Jesus, bringing gifts that honored Him as King, Savior, and God. Epiphany reminds us of our mission to share the light of Christ with all people, just as the star led the Magi to Him.

As Lutheran Women in Mission, we are called to shine that same light through acts of service, sharing the Gospel, and supporting missions worldwide. Let’s reflect on how we can shine for Jesus through our words, actions, and love.

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you" (Isaiah 60:1).
