Worship With Us
Join us for worship this Sunday at 10am!

We are engaged in our summer theme Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5).

This week’s fruit of the Spirit: Generosity! Our gospel lesson is Luke 12:13-21 where Jesus meets with two brothers squabbling about inheritance. Then Jesus tells them a story about a wealthy man who was receiving excess from the earth. What is abundance? How and when do we build bigger barns? [This is also the passage with the familiar phrase – “relax, eat, drink, be merry.”]

As always, we invite you to bring a friend, family member, co-worker.

The labor of love..
I was going to save this for Labor Day Weekend but I think the time is now…

This is a longer video than usual – about 20 minutes so well worth it.
