Wednesday Devotion
We keep looking at J.D. Walt's.
Today, we are looking for Genesis 1:1–3a NIV
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, . . .

Faith is the willful decision of a community of people to live the totality of their existence in the light of God and in the world of God’s making.

We continue to pray for all the students and families in the Steward community as they begin this new school year. May this new season be filled with joy, peace, growth, and many wonderful blessings.

I am also deeply grateful to everyone who supported this ministry today through your prayers, your presence, and your willingness to serve. May God pour out God's abundant grace and peace upon each of you, and may God bless you richly for the love and care you have shared with our community.

🎒 Boo-Hoo, Woo-Hoo! You’re Invited Tomorrow! 🎉

The first day of a new school year can bring all kinds of feelings for both kids and parents.

For some families, it is filled with excitement—new friends, new learning, and a fresh start. For others, it may bring a few nervous thoughts, worries about change, or even a few tears.

However you may be feeling, we will have a warm welcome waiting for you tomorrow in front of the church.

As students head back to school, please stop by and take a little break with us! We will have food, drinks, and a small gift to share as we offer encouragement, comfort, and joy to students, parents, teachers, and families.

Whether you are feeling a little “Boo-Hoo” as you send your child off to school, or shouting “Woo-Hoo!” for a new beginning, please know that you are not alone. Our community is cheering for you and praying that this school year will be filled with learning, good friendships, kindness, courage, and joy.

Stop by in front of the church tomorrow, enjoy a snack and a drink, and celebrate this new school year with us!💛

Tuesday Devotion
We keep looking at J.D. Walt's.
Today, we are looking for Acts 2:32–35 NIV
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’”

Discipleship to Jesus means learning to pray in agreement with Jesus, in union with the mind of Christ.

The 11th Sunday after Pentecost

08/08/2026

Tomorrow, we warmly invite you to join us for worship.

In the midst of our busy and often challenging lives, gathering to worship God is a precious gift. As we pray, sing, hear God’s Word, and encourage one another, the Lord renews our hearts and gives us strength for the week ahead.

Come as you are, and join us in this time of grace, hope, and renewed faith. We would be honored to worship with you.

Friday Devotion
We keep looking at J.D. Walt's.
Today, we are looking for James 5:13–16 NIV
Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

James understood that prayer isn’t just a religious routine. It’s our lifeline.

Thursday Devotion
We keep looking at J.D. Walt's.
Today, we are looking for James 3:2–6 NIV
We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

You are who God says you are: loved, chosen, forgiven, held, and made new.
