"An Unexpected Journey"
Sometimes life throws us a curve ball even when we think we have it all mapped out. Sometimes things just don't go the way we had planned. That's what happens again and again for the heroes of our faith in the Book of Genesis. For Noah, Abram, Jacob and Esau, and Joseph the journey is not always what they would have anticipated, yet through it all God seems to make a way. Join us for these summer Sundays to see what message God might have for you as you seek to make sense of your life's unexpected journey.
This Sunday's sermon title is "Uncharted - The Call of Abram," by Rev. Catherine Fluck Price (Genesis 12:1-9). Click

Standing in the Gap

In this new 6:35 Contemporary Worship Service message series, we will be exploring the stories of the Biblical characters that stood in those gaps. Wednesday evenings, now through July 26.
