Twenty-Fourth Sunday after Pentecost

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

This week’s message: “Keep Awake”

Keep Awake One of the beautiful things about our faith tradition is the way that it connects us to others.
We celebrate our connection with congregations around the world and down the street.
We are reminded that we do not walk this journey alone, and that we are strongest when we are collaborating with
and learning from others in the Body of Christ.
This Sunday, we get to live that out in one small way – my husband Ryan and I will be trading pulpits for the day.
I’m excited for you all to be able to share a Sunday morning with him!
What a gift to get to share the journey of faith with one another.

With hope and joy,
Pastor Elise
