New Worship Series
Sometimes we only need a new perspective to see that
"It's a Wonderful Life" after all...
​In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a financial crisis creates vastly diverse reactions from several characters that can hold up a mirror to our own outlook on life during times of stress or anxiety. But what happens when we change our focus? In this four-week series, we'll be challenged to look at our own discouraging times in a compassionate way, in order to find the joy and meaning that can give us a new outlook on life!
Sunday, Nov. 1st
This Sunday, we will remember the saints who have gone before us. Plan to have a candle to light during worship to remember those who have impacted your life of faith.
We will also share the sacrament of communion in worship this Sunday. Be sure to have your own elements of bread and juice or wine on hand.
Join us for a Movie Watch Party this Sunday, Nov. 1 at 4:00 PM as we watch the holiday classic film, It's a Wonderful Life, together on ZOOM!
