“God is Greater than IAN: Inertia, Anxiety and Negativity”

Isaiah 43:16-21


We have been through a traumatic time as a church and community. On the other hand, our faith encourages us to be and become resilient. In the midst of all the struggles, is God doing a new thing in us, and in our world?


Let’s gather and worship this Sunday, looking for the ways in which God is greater than any hurricane, and how we can overcome together!

United in the Power of Prayer


Update from Your Pastoral

& Congregational Care Team


God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in our distress.

Therefore, we will fear nothing, even if the earth gives way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

even if the waters roar and foam

and the mountains tumble with their surging.

God is our refuge and strength.

Psalm 46:1-3

All those impacted by Hurricane Ian
