Live Stream This Sunday's
Worship Service at 10:30 am
In today's first reading God uses the Gentile ruler Cyrus to accomplish divine purposes. When the Pharisees try to trap Jesus, he tells them to give the emperor what belongs to him and to God what belongs to God. To gather for worship reminds us that our ultimate allegiance is to God rather than to any earthly authority. Created in the image of God, we offer our entire selves in the service of God and for the sake of the world.
We want to help parents and grandparents by providing resources for teaching about God's love to youth at home.

A Quick, Midweek Spiritual Pick-Me-Up
This week's special guest is Alison O'Neal. Alison donated her left kidney and it now has a new home. It's working hard inside someone in Georgia whom she probably will never meet. In the subsequent hours of Alison's donation, five more people donated kidneys, allowing for a total of 6 people across the country to receive the gift of a kidney, the gift of freedom from dialysis, and for some—the gift of more time. The final recipient was Alison's friend Damian Thorkelson.

Hear more of Alison's story this week on Hangout 4 Hope this Wednesday at 7:00pm!
Blessing of the Animals
Third time's a charm!

The Blessing of the Animals has been postponed the last two Sunday's due to the threat of rain. This Sunday afternoon looks to be 62° with little to no chance of rain.

So we hope to see you and your animals this Sunday at 4pm!
