Upcoming Sermon

Summer Sermon Series – Colossians.  Imagine the relief felt by the civilian population of a war torn country when peace comes and life can return to normal. What’s it like to live your Christian life in the aftermath of war, finally able to live freely without fear and oppression. Colossians, chapter three describes the ideal life Jesus’ victory on the cross won for us!

 Know Someone in need of a Meal?

The ladies in our Let’s Make A Meal Ministry have been hard at work creating scrumptious meals. These frozen meals are ready to go out to families in need or who are experiencing a difficult time (where even cooking seems like an overwhelming task to accomplish). If you know someone who needs a frozen meal, please contact the church office.

Common Grounds Coffee Shop

Stop by during the summer and enjoy a copy of coffee and the view at the Common Grounds Coffee Shop. It is open during the day, Tuesday thru Friday, 8 am – 3 pm. Also, Volunteers needed to help in Common Grounds. No experience necessary. We can train anyone. Help needed especially on Thursday’s 11:30 – 3pm and Friday’s 10am – noon.
