Our current series, worship: sounds like heaven, keeps point us back to our purpose—to, as Jesus said, worship God in both Spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)

Join us this Sunday, in worship, for the final message in the series. 🙌🏽

Every Sunday, worship happens because someone said “yes.” 🎶

Yes to serving.
Yes to using their gifts.
Yes to helping lead our church into the presence of God.

You could be that someone.

If you’re a musician or vocalist and you’ve been wondering if there’s a place for you on the Mercy worship team, consider this your invitation.

🎤🎹 Worship Auditions
📅 Saturday, August 22
⏰ 11:00 AM–12:30 PM

We’re especially looking for drummers and keyboardists, but all musicians and vocalists are welcome to audition.

Maybe your next “yes” is the one that helps someone else encounter God.

Say yes. We’d love to hear you.

And all glory to God whose lovingkindness is better than life! 🙌🏽

How are you carrying celebration into your practice of worship this week?

You never know how one small act of kindness might shape someone’s life.

About 40 years ago, while waiting for the bus, Roxie met someone she now calls “the Ringbearer.”

She noticed the woman’s silver ring engraved with the letters WWJD and simply commented on how much she liked it. To Roxie’s surprise, the woman slipped the ring off her finger and asked, “Would you like it?”

Roxie gladly accepted the gift, but she received something even greater than a ring.

Every time she looked at it, she was reminded to ask, “What would Jesus do?” Especially in moments when she had been hurt or wronged, the ring challenged her to respond the way Jesus would—with grace, forgiveness, and love.

Over the years, Roxie discovered something simple yet life-changing:

Jesus’ way of doing things really is the right way.

A stranger’s unexpected generosity became a reminder to follow Christ. This is a story of Mercy.

Sometimes God uses the smallest moments—and the most ordinary people—to shape us for a lifetime. Who has God unexpectedly used to shape your faith?

This Sunday, we kicked off our new series, Worship: Sounds Like Heaven, with a powerful message from Pastor Gary: “Worship Sounds Like Desire.”

We welcomed new faces at our Welcome Gatherings, worshiped together, and spent Sunday the way we love to spend it most: together in the presence of our God.

Worship is more than what we sing. It reveals what our hearts desire—and invites us to turn our desire toward the One who is worthy of it all.

We’re just getting started. 🎶

Join us tomorrow for our annual Summer Picnic and Baptisms at Long Lake (Shelter 1) in New Brighton. 🙌🏽

Sometimes God’s mercy looks like healing one faithful step at a time.

This past April, Anne suffered a broken back after a fall. She laid in the dark for nearly two hours before nurses found her and rushed her to the hospital. Her orthopedic doctor told her recovery would likely take 3–4 months, and the road ahead felt long.

As she recovered, Anne prayed, asking God for a second chance to get well again. Pastor Gary also came to visit and prayed with her, entrusting her healing to the Lord.

Then something remarkable happened.

After just three weeks—not three months—Anne was up and walking with a walker. And by this summer, she was fully mobile, back on her feet, and joyfully sharing her story of Mercy with us.

When asked what made the difference, Anne’s answer was simple:
“Good rehab and prayer.”

Her story reminds us that God often works through both the ordinary and the extraordinary. He meets us through caring medical professionals, faithful rehabilitation, the prayers of His people, and His sustaining presence every step of the way. This is a story of Mercy.

Where have you seen God’s faithfulness carry you through a difficult season?

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been sharing Stories of Mercy from our church family as part of our (Non) Main Character Energy series—and what a gift it has been to hear how God is at work in the lives of His people.

Isn’t it amazing? No matter the content of the story or the characters involved, God is a skillful author, working all things together for our good. He meets us in moments of joy, uncertainty, waiting, doubt, obedience, and transformation—and He is faithful to keep writing our stories.

Thank you to everyone who courageously shared your Story of Mercy throughout this series. Your willingness to share has encouraged our church family and reminded us that God is always moving, even in the moments we may not recognize it.

And the stories aren’t over! We’ll continue sharing Stories of Mercy here on our Facebook and Instagram pages each week until we run out of stories to share. So if you haven’t seen your story yet… hold on! It may be coming soon. 🫶🏽

Consider this post our celebration of all God has done through (Non) Main Character Energy—and a reminder that every one of us has a story worth sharing.

What if waiting on God isn’t about sitting around twiddling your thumbs?

In her Story of Mercy, Ms. Yvette shares about a season after graduate school when she was waiting for employment. In the uncertainty, she wrestled with doubt and wondered what God was doing. But through that season, God was teaching her something about obedience, trust, and joy.

Yvette describes waiting on the Lord like waiting tables at a restaurant. A waiter isn’t sitting around doing nothing—they’re attentive, listening, serving, and ready to respond.

That’s the kind of waiting Yvette learned to practice: not passive, but purposeful. Not waiting for life to begin, but staying attentive to what God was asking of her in the meantime.

And somewhere along the way, God met her in her need and taught her how to find joy in the wait.

Sometimes the answer we’re waiting for isn’t the only thing God wants to give us. Sometimes He wants to show us that He is with us while we wait.

What might it look like to actively wait on God in your season today?
