Our Adult Forum series, Embrace the Wilderness, continues this Sunday, March 3rd with our guest, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Jennifer Pharr Davis. She will preach at our 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. services and speak during Formation Hour at 11:30 a.m.

Then we will have the Rev. Christine Reimers from Captial Caring Hospice preach at both Sunday services and talk about End-of-Life Care and Planning during Formation Hour on Sunday, March 10th.

Finally, we will welcome the Rev. Dr. Stephen Cook, Ph.D. on Sunday, March 17th to preach at our Sunday services and talk about Old Testament Themes of Wilderness during Adult Forum.

Then it's Holy Week and Easter! Check out the Monthly Net for the schedule.

A few new scam emails are going around again. Please be aware of emails impersonating clergy, staff, or other parish members.

Any time an email asks you for a favor and to email them back because they are "busy" or "in a meeting," do not reply. There's another scam where the sender says something like, "saw these pictures and thought of you" and includes a link. Don't click the link.

Some emails may even look like they are coming from the sender's actual email address, but there's a secondary email address also listed (see image below). This should alert you to possible scammy activity.

If you are unsure if the email is fake, contact the person in a different way; NEVER respond to the original email. If you are able, report them to your mail system (i.e. gmail, outlook, yahoo. etc.).
