Join us tomorrow at 11:30 either in person or online for our Sunday worship service. Pastor James is still out on a much deserved vacation, so we’ll be receiving a word from Minister Kate Nelson on John 15:1-5. We’d love to see you there!

“Lord, save me.” One of the shortest prayers in Scripture. One of the most honest. When Peter began to sink, Jesus didn’t wait for perfect faith. He reached out first.

The good news of the Gospel is this: grace comes before correction. Even in our fear, our doubt, and our questions, Christ meets us with compassion before anything else.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re sinking, this message is for you.

When the storms of life come, Jesus doesn’t promise we’ll avoid them. He promises we won’t face them alone.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for worship this Sunday as we reflected on finding peace in the midst of life’s uncertainty and remembering that Christ is present through every wave, every question, and every storm.

If you missed this week’s service, or you’d like to hear the message again, watch the full worship service through the link in the comments.

We hope to see you next Sunday at 11:30 AM. Everyone is welcome. 🌈
