"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 "
Undone: Reconciliation and Wrestling," by Rev. Lenora Rousseau (
Genesis 32:22-31). Click

Stepping Stones Preschool
We are in need of an Afternoon Enrichment Teacher's Assistant to work with 3 and 4 year olds. The hours are 12:30pm-5:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please call Andrea Agnew in the preschool office at 416-3025 or email us your resume.
Please take note! Maestro needed! Do you play the piano or do you know someone that does? The preschool is looking for a music teacher! This would involve 6 hours every other week on Thursdays and Fridays (3 hours/day) and accompaniment for our Christmas program and graduation. You would need to provide lesson plans with age appropriate music activities. We don't have a piano in the classroom, so if you have a keyboard, that would be great! Sound like fun? Contact Ms. Jan at 416-3025.
