“Come Home to

the Potter!”


Jeremiah 18: 1-11


This Sunday we are invited to come home to God, our Potter, and allow God to re-shape us.


If we bring our selves to Jesus, can we can become stronger in the broken places? Can God mend and transform our scars, and use them for God’s purposes? 


We will hear about the beauty of old, Japanese bowls, transformed in their cracked and broken places into something beautiful.

Joining us Virtually?

If you are joining us online, download the Virtual Bulletin using the link and participate with us.


We also ask that you share any prayer requests or needs in the Live Chat during Worship. Your feedback is very important as we strive to ensure your virtual worship experience is meaningful and filled with the love of God.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins September 15, the Social Action Book Club will be reading Dreams From Many Rivers: A Hispanic History of the United States Told in Poems. Through her poetry, Margarita Engle takes us from 1491 to the present, sharing the different experiences of native and immigrant citizens of Hispanic descent. This easy read is fascinating as we hear the different voices with common threads.

The book club will meet via zoom on September 18 at 7:00 PM.
