"Freely You Have Received: Freely Give”

Matthew 10:7-14(NIV)

A life worthy of the gospel is a life lived in community, in shared mission and ministry. We are called, invited, and encouraged to strive side by side for the kingdom of God as envisioned by the one we follow, allowing the gospel to shape our lives.

Join us for the 21st Sunday of Pentecost as Pastor Jay leads us in worship with our Fall sermon series, Striving Side by Side, titled "Giving Freely."

Children's Sunday School Lesson

"Solomon Builds the Temple"

1 Kings 6: 1-8: 66

Sunday School Video.

This month we are learning about being devoted to God. Many people in the Bible commit their lives to faith to do good things in God's name. Solomon was devoted to God and built a temple for the people of Israel, where they could come together to seek God. Like our church, where we can experience God's love as a community.

Today's Blessing:

Dear God,

​Thank you for the gift of our worship spaces. Help us make our space a place where all people are welcome and come to know you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Childcare is available on Sunday mornings for ages birth to 4 years &
