On this Sunday, August 9, 2026! - "The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost" - note: Summer worship begins @ 9:30 a.m. - This Sunday we share our "Traditional" Worship Service - which will include the Celebration of the Lord's Supper.
On what should have been an easy journey, suddenly the disciples of Jesus find themselves in the middle of a storm - ferocious winds - battered by the waves - and a long way from the shore (either from where they started or their destination). They should have been able to handle this, but everything they tried did not work - they were exhausted - they were frustrated - they were afraid - and it appears that they are "caught" in the storm with no way out. Until, from nowhere Jesus comes walking across the water - in the midst of the storm - to them. To calm their fears, Jesus calls out - "Take heart - I am - do not be afraid." Perhaps this is something we should have posted everywhere we go in life - to encourage, to calm, to empower and to direct us on our own journeys - especially in the midst of the "storms" we encounter (or which encounter us). We look forward to sharing worship with you this Sunday, as we gather in "the boat" for worship.
Come and hang out with us on this Sunday - in person or with video or by "radio." We would love to share worship and fellowship with you. All are invited - all are welcome!

We continue to "share worship together - as one church community - in a variety of settings" ...
We come "together" in a variety of ways - by "live video" on Facebook -

We know that God continues to be with us and continues to call us "together" to share "together" as a "faith community" in worship, fellowship and mission!
We look forward to sharing "God's Challenging and Inspiring Good News" together with you this Sunday.
"See" you soon!
Peace
