2nd Sunday After Epiphany


Gentle Reader,
Happy Martin Luther King  Jr. Day!  It's a day we celebrate how far we have come by faith, and to commit ourselves to the work that is still ahead of us.  In worship we explore how Jesus was made known to the early disciples and how God calls us into His adventure today "Come and See!" was Philip's invitation to his disbelieving friend.  Come and see how his story may just change your life!

Traditional worship service  8:30
Contemporary worship service  10:00

Looking forward to seeing you there!

"For our 150th Anniversary year, we want to purposefully measure the difference we make in our world.  
We want to celebrate all the lives we touch in big and small ways.  

Our ministries should be focused on the good that we do for people-- in our congregation and outside of our congregation."    Shirley Zierke
More on this important initiative will be coming to you soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy this blessing that impacted one of our own:

Last night as I was walking out to my car after the Team Leader Meeting (Jan. 9th) and I was thinking to myself - "Gosh it's dark out here tonight".  I noticed a car driving around the back of the lot, as it got closer to my car it slowed down and shone it's head lights so that I could see to put my walker into the back of the car,  waited to see that I got in my car safely, and then pulled off. I didn't really need any help, just a little light on the situation.   I couldn't see who it was because the glare of the lights was in my eyes, but I'd like to give a shout out and thank them.  I really appreciated their kindness/blessing.
