Throughout Advent, our morning worship services will include Advent candles, readings, banners, and special messages. This year’s Advent theme is “PARABLES OF PROMISE”. Jesus says his parables are about the mysteries of the kingdom.

Let’s prepare our hearts together for this special season.

Sunday School may be in 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

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
Thank you to my church family for your prayers and support these last few years as I cared for my dad. It means a lot. – Pam Johengen
