Prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when He is revealed. Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. Instead, as He who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct, for it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”



- 1 Peter 1: 13-16, NRSV

Lent 2024: Listen to Him


The 40 days of Lent 2024, not counting Sundays, began on Feb 14 (Ash Wednesday) and ends on Mar 30 (the Saturday before Easter.) This time represents the forty days Jesus suffered in the wilderness, enduring temptations and remaining close to God through fasting and prayer.


During this season of Lent, we invite you to download a special calendar and use the daily prompts to help you pause, focus on God, and find renewal in Christ


Join us each Sunday at 10:45 for worship in the sanctuary. Then, read Rev. Chung's suggested verse per day to help you Grow, Pray & Study.

Make a Joyful Noise!

Singing has a special way of pulling together your heart, soul, mind, and strength to focus wholly and completely on God. In an age of distraction, singing captures all of our senses and directs our attention to God.


With that in mind ... It’s not too late to join with the choir in making triumphant music this Easter! A desire to share the love of God in song and a couple of rehearsals is all that is required. To inquire about or to be a part of this joyous event, contact Allen Barbee.
