This Saturday, there’s a free anti-racism training at BOS Center, with a lunch provided. We are all created in the image of God and we have much work to do to make sure all are afforded full human dignity. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how to help make that happen.

Join us online this evening at 7:00 for an open conversation about redemption. We will read the story of Zacchaeus the Tax Collector (Luke 19:1–10) — a powerful moment where Jesus refuses to define a man by his worst behavior— and attempt to answer some of the following questions:
• Is it possible to extend grace without dismissing the harm we cause?
• What does it mean to see someone the way Jesus saw Zacchaeus?
• When have you experienced a love that refused to define a person by their worst day?

This will be an honest and hope-filled discussion about how grace meets us in the branches and calls us down by name.
We’d love for you to join us. Zoom link is in the comments.

Tomorrow morning, we’ll step into the scene where Christ gives His disciples one last assignment — a calling that still echoes across generations. Join us at 8:00 or 10:00 AM as we explore the Great Commission and what it looks like to carry hope, truth, and grace into the world around us. There’s a seat for you!

Join us this Sunday at First Congregational Church for an inspiring time of worship together. We will be partaking in communion as we reflect on the story of the road to Emmaus from Luke 24. While communion isn’t the only focus, it beautifully connects to how Jesus was made known in the breaking of the bread. Come and be encouraged, renewed, and reminded of Christ’s presence with us.
