When Grief Hits Home / Wednesday, April 29 6:30-8:30pm

Grief changes us, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. This support group is designed to offer encouragement, authentic community, and practical tools wherever you are on the journey. Tonight is the final night and the focus will be:

+ Option One: trauma healing through forgiveness led by Mel Bockelman

+ Option Two: inspiring Hope for the journey led by author Paula Freeman. To learn more about Paula, visit her website.

Join us on Sunday at 9 or 10:45am or online. Join us in worship as Pastor Nate Powell shares the message Already Rooted and Colossians 2:1–15.

Because all wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ, Paul warns the church not to be taken captive by hollow and deceptive philosophy that depends on human tradition rather than on Christ. The answer to false teaching is not more rules but deeper roots, being built up in him, established in faith, and overflowing with thankfulness. Paul introduces the radical image of spiritual circumcision: a cutting away of the sinful nature accomplished not by human hands but by Christ himself in his death and resurrection.
