The Spiritual Life - Going For the Gold
A Sermon Series
"Endurance and Perseverance"
|
|
James 1: 2 - 4, 13
2 My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; 4 and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.
13 No one, when tempted, should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one.

Your help is needed on Sunday mornings!
As we make the transition back to in-person worship, we are finding several areas where additional volunteers are needed. Please take a look at the different opportunities using the form below. Volunteering on Sunday mornings is a great way to fellowship, meet new people and a critical piece of the puzzle in allowing us to have a successful and meaningful worship service!

The nursery is open and available for children 2 and under. This includes children of older ages with physical limitations that inhibit proper mask wearing. All of the staff and volunteers working in the nursery have been fully vaccinated. This is just one more way we are trying to care for the most vulnerable among us. |
