Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.
Then join us after worship for our Fall Kickoff and Potluck! We will share a meal, hear about ways to grow and get
connected as the school year begins, and enjoy some ice cream and games together. We’re saving you a seat!
This week’s message:
“Upward and Outward”
Faith is lived out by loving God and by loving our neighbor – and these often happen at the very same time.
