Who is Jesus?

Sundays at 9:00am 

There are many historical, doctrinal and cultural answers to this question, but for most of us who call ourselves Christian the important answer relates not to doctrine or history but to how we experience Jesus in our own lives. In her book Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence, Diana Butler Bass shares her personal experiences of Jesus and invites us to reflect on and perhaps enlarge our understanding of Jesus in our own lives. You are invited to share in this journey in a six week class facilitated by Pat Shipley. This class continues until June 16.

Thank You So Much

to those of you that attended the

Mission Fair and learned about needs

in our community! 

Now that you’ve seen these few examples, the Serving Team would like to invite you to commit to actively serving. Fill out the service commitment pledge linked here. This will add your name to our list for logging and tracking your serving hours. Once you have filled out the form, a link will be sent to the email provided that will allow you to submit your service hours. The Serving Team will be able to report on what our congregation is doing, see what opportunities interest the group and provide monthly opportunities to serve where members of the church can work together. 

We hope you’ll join us in service!
