Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.

This week’s message:
“Good Bones and a Living Faith”
If you’ve ever undertaken a home remodeling project, you know the value of good bones.
When a house has good bones, you know you can trust the foundation and the integrity of the structure,
even if other parts of the house are in need of updates or repairs.
A house might be old, out-of-style, or in real need of a fresh vision –
but if the bones are good, possibilities are endless.
Our United Methodist faith might sometimes feel a bit like an old house that could use a fresh remodel.
But this old house of ours is blessed with some very good bones.
Join us as we begin our September series, “Good Bones,” and
explore the solid foundation upon which our faith is built.
If you watch the service online, please take a moment to click the link in the online description or here
