Sunday's Message:


THE WAY: Becoming on a Journey

“The First Miraculous Sign”

John 2:1-11


In the Gospels, Jesus says, “follow me” some 21 times. How exactly do we follow him? Living as a disciple of Jesus can be a difficult endeavor. Pitfalls and problems abound. Rather than a list of tasks to complete or actions to take, discipleship involves becoming who God is calling us to be. "The Way" sermon series will explore moments from Jesus’ ministry that express how we can more faithfully follow him to live lives overflowing with grace, humility, and love.


9:00 and 10:30 a.m. Services

Women's Ministry Painting

Women’s Ministry Painting Program

Thursday, January 23 from 1:00-2:30 p.m.


Paint A Rooster for Your Kitchen – Church member and local artist, Margaret Bucholz, will guide you in painting a rooster for your kitchen on an 8x10” canvas using acrylics. A basic template of the rooster’s body will be sketched on the canvas to get you started, so no worries in getting started. We will paint the rooster’s feathers with bright bold colors all together with Margaret. If your kitchen already has a painted rooster, gift it to someone you know that needs a little cheer.


Please RSVP here by Sunday, January 19. All supplies are included in the $10 fee, which can be paid at the door. All are welcome! Light refreshments will be served.
