A Prayer for Our Confirmands

"Almighty God, we thank you for our soon to be confirmands. We pray that you will continually bless them with your grace. Guard and guide them through the power of the Holy Spirit. Help them to use their gifts to make a difference in your world and remind them always that they are your beloved children. Amen."

Our Monthly Hymn Sing

Join us for our monthly Hymn Sing coming this Sunday (5/31) at 8:45am before worship. Be thinking of your favorite hymns, then come and call them out that morning. We'll sing as many as we can squeeze in before our worship service begins at 9 am.

Sunday Worship Plans

This Sunday, we celebrate Confirmation Sunday as we hear the promise of Psalms 139:1-18 that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made," fully known and deeply loved by God. In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls us to be the salt of the Earth and the light of the world, living out our faith with courage and compassion. Together we give thanks for our confirmands and for God's continuing work of shaping each of us into God's masterpiece for the sake of the world.

Worship begins at 9 am, with Fellowship following in the Family Life Center.

All are welcome!

Youth Group

There will be NO Youth Group this Sunday (5/31), but we will wrap up the year with our annual cookout on Sunday (6/7) beginning at 6 pm. Rising 6th graders are welcome to attend and we will provide dinner and S'mores. Don't miss out on the fun!
