New Worship Series: To Be Or Not To Be The Church:
Church is not a place you go, it’s something you are and something you do. Encounters with Jesus change people, not just for a moment, but by transforming us into something new. But we are not new by ourselves! We become new as part of a community, the church, held together and sent out by the Holy Spirit to introduce more people to the transformative Jesus! To be the church is to do God’s mission in the world.

Sunday, May 15th will be Domingos’ final day with us. We will hold an extended coffee hour to thank him for his presence and leadership this year. Don't miss it! | |
Wildflower Garden planting this Sunday!
Our youth and anyone who is interested will be planting in our Native wildflower garden this Sunday the 15th around 11:30. Dan Meharg raised these seeds over the winter, and they have been tended here at the church. Dress for mess and bring your planting tools!
