"Oops! I Screwed Up! Now what?!"
Gentle Reader,
We all get tangled up now and again. We get tripped up, and fall away from our goals. But what about when the goal is about living as Jesus' disciple? The stakes are higher, even eternal when we get tripped up and fall away from that path. Come this Sunday and hear Jesus talk about the importance of staying on that path. Come this Sunday to hear God's plan for us that fall away. Come this Sunday to hear about two very different paths and the God who stands at the cross roads. It might just change your life.
See you there!
PREACHING THIS FALL
"The Adventure of Discipleship"
Real Questions, Real Challenges,
Real Joy,
Real Faith
All Are Welcome. Join Us!

VISITATION TEAM
If you have a heart for connecting and sharing Christ with others through your presence, the Visitation Team has a place for you!
Our purpose is to keep the body of Christ connected by calling or visiting members who may be home bound, be in care facilities or just don't get out as much as in the past. They may be experiencing grief, be ill or recuperating from surgery or illness. The visits will include praying with the person and bringing Communion if this is requested. If you would like to request a visit or a phone call, please let the church office or pastor know.
Team Lead: Fran Nordhausen
