9:30 am Sunday Summer worship Service on the Patio

 Often we can feel alone in our endeavors.  With his copious amounts of writing in the New Testament, we might imagine that Paul did his ministry on his own.  However, he had tons of help along the way.  Sunday, we’ll learn about a couple of friends whom he mentions multiple times in the bible as partners in ministry: Priscilla & Aquila.  I hope to see you Sunday, where we’ll learn what partnership in ministry can look like. 

 Church camp has been full of fun, adventure, and learning this week.  On Sunday, our campers and volunteer staff are eager to share with you what they learned by exploring the theme: Life on Screen.  Movies on the big screen - and all stories, actually - draw us in because they spark our imaginations.  You won’t want to miss the chance to hear our campers share the stories they tell about God… and maybe even the stories God tells about them! 

 When Abraham and Sarah were promised a child by God, they started to get anxious and took matters into their own hands.  This Sunday, our unsung hero begins her story as a servant who is abused by her masters.  She may have felt abandoned and forgotten, but God had other plans for her.  Join us this Sunday as we explore the story of Hagar in Genesis 16:1-16.  We also look forward to celebrating communion and sharing the gifts of life together. 

 This Sunday, our unsung hero has another challenging name: Eutychus.  And, from the story in Acts 20:7-12, he doesn’t seem very heroic.  All he does is fall asleep!  On Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to rest in Jesus.  Spoiler alert: by recognizing that - even after such a traumatic event - there was still life in the boy, Paul is the real hero of the story.  Are there traumatic situations in your life that seem hopeless?  Come Sunday, to remember how God can give life in the most hopeless seeming places.
