4th Sunday after Epiphany

"Walk this Way" is a familiar funny scene in film history and on stage. It gives us an opening into how we might read Matthew's telling of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. What way does God lead us to walk?

Join us for worship on Sunday at 10:30 AM as Rev. Dr. Kathryn Cameron invites us to "Walk this Way"
Upcoming Pastor Schedule:

February 2nd - Rev. Dr. Kathryn Cameron
February 9th - Rev. Dr. Joan Martin
The NFL Super Bowl is THIS Sunday . Many people will pull for the San Francisco 49ers, others will pull for the Kansas City Chiefs. Another group may be happy that they can focus on food, commercials, and the half time show. February 2 is also the day for the “Souper Bowl of Caring”.

We'll finish collecting cans of soup for Christian Ministries on Sunday.

We will collect money for Christian Ministries during the February 2 nd Worship Service.

Thanks for helping our community in this very important way!
