10 am Sunday In-Person & Livestream Worship Services

This Sunday, September 7,  we shift back to the sanctuary and to our 10am worship time.  It will be a Family Sunday with our worship band, and we’ll celebrate communion.  We’ll also kick off our fall sermon series: Growing in Jesus Christ by exploring Luke 13:18-21.  We are invited to mature into the fullness of life Jesus has promised at any age - and any stage - of life.  Invite your friends and we’ll grow together!

 For our last 9:30 service out on the patio this Sunday (also Labor Day weekend), we will honor all those who labor to provide what we need to live.  Paul’s ministry created a disruption in the economy of Ephesus among the idol makers there.  With AI, robotics, and tariffs, our economy continues to experience disruptions.  Come wrap up our summer in Ephesus and learn about meaningful work in Christ. 

 Summer is winding down and school is on the horizon.  School is a place where we are exposed to all sorts of new thoughts and ideas, some of them a part of the official curriculum and others, well… not so much.  As we explore Ephesians, Chapter 5 this week, we’ll hear advice from Paul about how to live wisely in this world.  Head’s up: we’re getting into territory where Paul’s writing has been interpreted in ways that have not been helpful.  We’ll hope to clear some of that up this Sunday, and we’ll hope to see you there! 

 We’ll be back outside this Sunday for our 9:30am service, and we’ll return to ancient Ephesus for Ephesians, Chapter 4.  Just like the previous chapters, there will be a LOT going on in this one.  Mostly, it’s about growing up - maturing - into the fullness of life that is promised in Christ.  As we know, there’s a lot in ourselves - and in our culture - that wants to stay youthful.  Yet, maturity can be a great gift.
