Amazing Grace. One of my favorites as it reminds me that God is always with us.

9 am Sunday, September 6. 2026. Life has a way of bringing us to moments when we stop and take stock. Some of us know what it is to wrestle through a midlife crisis. Some are standing in that strange open space after years of school and structure have come to an end. Others are finishing a career and wondering, “Was that enough? What comes next?” Underneath all of that is a deeper question: “How do I live my life well?” How do I begin well, keep going well, and one day finish well? I ask those questions too. I am right there with you. Come, let's find out the answers.

9 am Sunday, August 30, 2026. There are moments in life when we realize that following Jesus isn’t quite what we imagined it would be. We begin with enthusiasm. We love the stories of healing. We cherish the promises of forgiveness. We find comfort in knowing that God is with us. But sooner or later, Jesus leads us to a place where faith becomes costly—not necessarily dramatic or dangerous- but demanding. It asks us to love when resentment feels easier. It asks us to forgive when holding a grudge seems justified. It asks us to put someone else’s needs before our own. It asks us to keep showing up when we’d rather give up. That is where today’s Gospel begins.
