Faithfulness in a Fallen World
2 Samuel 2 - 2 Samuel 24
When it comes to living in faithfulness to God, turns out we are all giraffes on roller skates. Even the best of us: Abraham, Moses, Mary, John the Baptist. All are complex people living in a complex world who find themselves one day gliding and the next stumbling. They sincerely followed God, that’s what made them the faithful, effective leaders they were. Yet at times they are overtaken by fear, anger, lust, or mistrust and they sin. And sin always has consequences. Faithfulness: it’s complicated.

Suppers for Seven
Sign up between now and January 16
Get to know those familiar (or unfamiliar) faces from across the sanctuary by registering for our "Suppers for Seven" event. Give us your name(s) and we will place you with others from the church to form a group of seven with whom you will plan a supper during the month of January or early Feb. Supper can be in someone's home, at a restaurant - whatever your group decides.
