A Word from the Pastor  
9 & 11 a.m. in Sanctuary 
"Do not let your hearts be troubled," Jesus says to his disciples. Often, there can be much that troubles our hearts. In the midst of the challenges of daily life, Jesus has a word for us. Will we be willing to hear him out? Join us this Sunday and find peace for your hearts and lives...

11 a.m. Open Door in Hickey Hall  
The Old Testament prophets like Isaiah, Amos, Ezekiel pushed God's kingdoms to be more just, fair and equal. Unfortunately, we haven't yet created the just society our spiritual ancestors yearned for. Join us Sunday morning as we examine the life of the prophet Amos to see how God's grace made him brave.
