Preparing for the Food Pantry

At 4:00pm today, January 7th, we are packing bags for our Food Pantry tomorrow. Anyone who would like to help is most welcome...a fun and meaningful activity for children. No Saturday service tonight and that's why we are packing the bags earlier in the day.

Epiphany Sermon: Another Road

For some reason, I felt called to quote a number of people in this sermon, which I don't tend to do in my sermons these days. But Shane Claiborne's book, The Irresistible Revolution; and Jonathan Wilson's book, Living Faithfully in a Fragmented World, were both on my mind as I considered Epiphany.

Join Us to Celebrate the Epiphany Tonight

Join us tonight, Friday January 6th, to celebrate the Epiphany: Holy Eucharist Rite II at 6:00 pm, followed by a party with pizza and refreshments. My sermon tonight focuses on the Wise Men who followed the star to find the baby Jesus and that they had to go home by another road following their encounter with Christ. Jesus changes everything for the person who knows Him to be the Son of God, the Savior of the world.

New Sign to Welcome All

Our new sign is at the end of our parking lot facing Senseny Rd. The sign looks even better in person. I love this sign.
