Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.
This week’s message:
“Living the Questions”
When it comes to navigating the challenges of life, our Methodist faith is a bit like a toolbox, with different tools com-
ing together to help us solve problems and find our way. Our Methodist faith invites us to bring Scripture, tradition,
reason, and experience together to faithfully navigate this world. Join us this Sunday as we learn about how we can
navigate questions and challenges with the “Good Bones” of our Methodist heritage.
With hope and joy,
Pastor Elise
