10 am Sunday In-Person & Livestream Worship Services

We continue the journey this Sunday - the second week of Advent - with Joseph and Mary as they are forced to travel to Joseph’s ancestral home to be counted in the Roman census.  There may be outside powers controlling more of our lives than we’d like to admit.  Yet, it’s especially in these times when we lose control that God’s presence is revealed. 

 This Sunday, we begin the season of Advent… where we anticipate the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas.  This year, we will be decorating our tree as a part of the service.  Each decoration will represent a hope, yearning, or prayer for the season.  We will also begin to tell the story of Christ’s birth using nativity figurines, that we will add to each week!  It’s a Family Sunday, so we hope you will come ready to enjoy the worship band and celebrate communion.

 Where did the last twenty years go?  Time flies when you’re having fun!  I am excited to reflect on twenty years of ministry this Sunday and will spend some time with Jeremiah’s call story.  I am excited to share ways that God showed up and surprised me, and also invite us all to reflect on how we might be called to serve in whatever season of life we may be in.

 There is a story about Jesus going to Jerusalem with his disciples where those small-town fishermen were in awe of the Temple and other great buildings.  Jesus told them what all the marvelous structures would be torn down in the tumult to come.  But, he promised they were birth pangs of things to come.  It may feel as if things are falling down around you and the future more than a bit uncertain.  This Sunday, we’ll learn what God may be birthing among the rubble.
