Please join us for worship on Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 17 – we’ll have two services of Holy Communion this week, at 8 and 10:30am, with fellowship time at 9, and Sunday School and Adult Bible Study at 9:15. The 10:30 service will be livestreamed. This will be the last Sunday for Sunday School and for our two-service worship schedule.
In these days between Ascension and Pentecost, we gather with the disciples in the upper room, waiting for the Spirit to transform the church around the world. In Sunday’s Gospel Jesus prays for his followers and for their mission in his name. Amid religious, social, and economic divisions, we seek the unity that Jesus had with his Father. Made one in baptism, we go forth to live our faith in the world, eager for the unity that God intends for the whole human family.
Follow this link to the online bulletin if you’re joining us for the 10:30am Livestream.
Thank You: Many thanks to everyone who helped out with Frances Faust’s funeral, last Friday. There were many tears, much laughter, and much gratitude for a life extremely well-lived. Our continued prayers for and love to her family. Thanks also to the Sunday School Students (and their parents) who stayed for the 10:30 service and sang so beautifully. Thanks also to the Long-Range Planning Committee for hosting the movie presentation of Mary Poppins. Don’t sleep on Movie Nights at church – they’re wonderful times of fellowship! Last weekend was kind of a perfect example of what the church does best – we surround those in grief with love and thanksgiving, we enjoy wonderful fellowship, and we joyfully worship the God who makes all things possible.

VBS registration is open for 2026! Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a life-long adventure, discovering the nature of God, and exploring what it means to be rooted in relationship with their creator, a safe place in life’s storms. We are in need of many volunteers for a successful week. New this year, volunteers can also sign up through the registration link.
