Worship and Grow With Us

We join together to worship and praise God for family worship each Sunday morning at 9:30am.  There are special children activities.

 All are welcome



A Praying People

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.                                      Proverbs 3:5-6

As we gather for worship each week we pray and praise God together. We seek God's direction and guidance for our lives and the life of our church. We seek to discern God's call for us as individuals and as a church family. We lift up our intercessory prayers. We invite  you to worship with us as we learn to be still and experience God's presence in our midst.





Come and grow with us as we worship each week.

Bell Ringing for worship at 9:25

Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. Our faith is built on this sure foundation. "Church is where Christ comes to us and loves us." Join us for worship as we nurture and encourage one another on our faith journey.

Gathering at the Table

As we gather at the Lord's Table on the first Sunday of each month let us bring a donation for our food basket to help a family in need set their table.

When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap the the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanigs of your harvest.




Reflections of the Pastor

I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;

incline your ear to me, hear my words.  Psalm 17:6

 

 We call upon God with the confidence that God hears our supplications. We call upon God with the confidence that God loves us and knows what is best for us. Can we truly trust that our loving God is ever mindful of our needs and our desires? Can we acknowledge that sometimes our desires may not be God’s desires for us? Can we truly pray as Jesus did in the garden, saying, “Nevertheless not my will, but your will be done?”

 God’s answers to our prayers may not come in the form that we are seeking. When we pray for healing for ourselves or others we are often seeking a cure. God’s healing may come in the form of the grace to bear the burden of our infirmities.

 God invites us to a life of prayer, not so that we can have our needs and wants met, but that we might be drawn into a closer relationship with the Holy One. The Biblical purpose of prayer is that we might get to know God in a more intimate and personal way.

 We identify ourselves as a praying people. We make a commitment to pray for one another. We share our prayer concerns. Let us be in prayer that each of us may grow in the grace to become all that God has created us to be. In this manner we can nurture one another along our faith journey.

Joyously serving with you, 

 Pastor Joyce
