Sometimes the roads we travel feel uncertain, but we can find peace knowing we don’t walk them alone. This Sunday, we are continuing our sermon series, "Psalm 23: Trusting in the Good Shepherd."

Join us as Pastor Justin dives into what it means to trust in the shepherd's path. Drawing from the comforting truths of Psalm 23 and John 14:1-7, we will explore how Jesus guides us, prepares a place for us, and anchors our hearts when the future feels unknown. Whether you are looking for direction, a sense of peace, or a welcoming community to call home, there is a place for you here.

What a great way to kick off a new season of youth ministry! Our youth and their families gathered for dinner, fun, and plenty of laughter as we played a game together.

We’re looking forward to all that this fall will bring—growing in faith, building friendships, serving others, and making memories along the way!

We’re so grateful for our youth, their families, and everyone who makes our youth ministry such a special part of our church community. Let the fall adventures begin!

Our acolytes had a wonderful training day!

After enjoying lunch together, they spent time learning about the important ways they serve during worship—from lighting the altar candles and helping serve communion to witnessing and assisting during baptisms.

We’re grateful for these young people and their willingness to serve, learn, and be part of our worship community. We can’t wait to see them put their training into action!

Join us this Sunday at Powell UMC as we continue our sermon series, “Psalm 23: Trusting in the Good Shepherd.”

This week, Pastor Carrie will lead us in reflecting on God’s provision. Just as a shepherd faithfully leads and cares for the flock, God provides for us, guides us, and leads us into places of promise.

Come worship with us as we remember that we can trust the Good Shepherd to provide for our needs and lead us faithfully.
