You spoke, we listened. New, improved versions of the products you love are here.

 
Worship with us this Sunday!
Join us this Sunday for Traditional Worship at 9:30am or Informal Worship at 11am. Our scripture texts are Proverbs 22:1-2, 8-9, 22-23 and Mark 7:31-35 with a sermon entitled Ephphatha ("open up")...Jesus heals the man who was both deaf and mute. The words we speak should be very much connected to the words we hear from the Holy. Jesus blesses us as we listen and speak. When is it a challenge to hear and speak? How do we ensure that we are listening and speaking with the Spirit? 

It is Give-a-Meal Sunday so  please bring gifts of non-perishable food items for our hungry neighbors in St Louis. Thank you.


Be sure to read our September Issue of Intersections which focuses on social justice.
