Looking for the Sunday Service from August 16?

So are we! It was livestreamed, a few were able to able to join online. Pretty sure I closed it out like I usually do but now we can't find it anywhere... lost to the internet.

Pastor's sermon was really good too - based on Numbers 11 where the Israelites wail to the the Lord, saying "if only." What are our "if only" questions? We're reminded to crave God, not earthly things.

I'll ask him if he'll reprise his sermon for us but if not, plan to join us live next week (in person if you are able) and we'll try again!

Planting is happening this rainy afternoon in the new welcome garden located just outside the main sanctuary entrance. Thanks to Garrett Anderson of Bluestem Habitat Restoration for your valuable ideas and diligent work!

Can’t wait to see the garden grow!

To our church family who view the live-streams on Sunday: We apologize there was no livestream today. Both Kathy and myself (Linda) were not available. The person who was going to do it for us has an Android phone, and the connection for our livestream is for an iPhone. This coming weekend, May 17th, Kathy and I will also be gone, so there won't be a livestream of the service. We're sorry for this inconvenience. We never thought we'd both be gone at the same time. We should be live-streaming again on May 24th. Thank you.

Ascension Day of Prayer, Thursday, May 14, 2026. This year, to mark our Ascension Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 14, we’re asking you to pray the Lord’s Prayer throughout the day. The act of prayer, the act of talking intimately with the creator of the universe is an amazing gift. Knowing that He hears us through His Son, Jesus Christ and because of Christ’s death and resurrection, is humbling and awe-inspiring. On the day we mark the Lord’s being lifted into heaven to sit at the Father’s right hand, it’s fitting that we take the words He taught us and approach God with boldness, joy, and reverence.
