PREPARING FOR WORSHIP

Pastor Trudy's Message

Fish stories. What do you do after your friend and teacher is crucified and then appears to you in a locked room? If you're Peter, you go fishing. Is it a way to forget everything that has happened? To feel capable again by doing something that feels familiar? Whatever the reason might be, Jesus shows up again to remind Peter of his call.  

Good and gracious God, You persist in calling us to tend for Your people in the world, but first You feed us with Your love and care. Thank you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

How do we deal with Christians who use faith as a weapon (or with whom I don't agree)?

Last weekend was a bountiful Baptism weekend! We welcomed four children

through the waters of Baptism on Saturday and Sunday.

Congratulations and blessings to all the families! 

TWO IN ONE! Cameron John Dettlo, son of Kelly & Mark Dettlo and Nathan Patrick Estes, son of Jill & Lincoln Estes, got baptized during the 10:30 am worship service!  

BIGGEST SPLASH! Saoirse Rey Tyndorf, daughter of Meghann & Darryl Tyndorf, Jr. dove right into the entire baptismal experience! 

THANKS TO TECHNOLOGY the grandparents of Jack Harrison Jones, son of Cailey & Colin Jones, were able to watch the baptism from their home in England!
