Worship Series: To Be Or Not To Be The Church:

Church is not a place you go, it’s something you are and something you do. Encounters with Jesus change people, not just for a moment, but by transforming us into something new. But we are not new by ourselves! We become new as part of a community, the church, held together and sent out by the Holy Spirit to introduce more people to the transformative Jesus! To be the church is to do God’s mission in the world.

Our hearts go out to Nancy & Jack Luts on the passing of Nancy's mom Madeline Joyce.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Madison Volunteer Ambulance Corps

REV. MARK SCHOL'S FIRST WORSHIP SERVICE - Sunday, July 3rd

Please join us to hear Pastor Mark preach his first sermon to our congregation. Since this is a holiday weekend, we decided to postpone the luncheon to welcome Pastor Mark and his family until Rally Sunday. However, we are planning to have an expanded coffee hour so those in attendance will have an opportunity to gather and get to know Pastor Mark and his family.
