UNCOMMON GLORY
“True disciples don’t get preoccupied with common symbols; rather,
they look beyond them to Christ’s word of authority, perceive his power and saving love, and turn to him in faithful obedience.

Wednesday Evening Bible Study and Prayer Meeting meets at 7:00 pm. Join us as we make our way through the book of James in a study called “BROTHER TO BROTHER”. We are nearing the end of Chapter 4. It’s a great time to join us.

Tuesday, July 14th

Sympathies go out to Pam Johengen and the rest of the family of Francis Johengen, who passed away on Thursday. A memorial service is planned for 11:00 am on Thursday, July 9th, at Wentland’s.


Sunday School may be in Summer recess, but don’t let that keep you from asking tough questions! During the Summer months, if there are questions or comments related to the morning message, let’s linger for a minute or so (whoever wants to) and discuss them. After people have gone through the line, we can find a quiet place for a brief, impromptu Q&A session. This is experimental, strictly voluntary, but it could be lots of fun! In any case, have a restful, refreshing Summer! – Derek


Get the most out of the services by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help. If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
