WEEKLY eBLAST

June 4, 2025

SUNDAY, June 8, 2025

This Sunday, we will worship in person and online: 


8:30 am Traditional Service



10:30 am Contemporary Service

 Sunday- Pastor Steve and Gent Grush are preaching on “Activists”.

We live-stream the services on our website, YouTube, and Facebook. Click the links below to watch! YouTube is the most reliable.

Our sermon series for May and June discusses your place of impact in this world. It is easy to get overwhelmed by everything going on. We believe that each of you is unique and gifted to make a difference by being YOU. We will look together at the roles of activists, connectors, educators, artists, healers and neighbors, hopefully inspiring you to share your gifts.
