Worship with us this Sunday!


Please join us for worship this Sunday at our Traditional Service at 9:30am and/or our Informal Service at 11:00am where our scriptures are Esther 7:1-6, 9-10; 9:20-22 and Psalm 124 with a sermon entitled Now.
 
We find ourselves in the midst of the Esther story - even with some gruesome parts. Esther is in the right place at the right time and is asked to play a role she never imagined. It's a role that she doesn't feel equipped to play. How can we see where we are needed now and act with more courage and compassion?

Inspiration
I Will Change Your Name
by D. J. Butler           
 
I will change your name
You shall no longer be called
Wounded, outcast, lonely or afraid
I will change your name
Your new name shall be
Confidence, joyfulness, overcoming one
Faithfulness, friend of God
One who seeks My face
