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

This week’s message:
“What’s So Amazing about Grace?”
In my high school days, I once had a friend ask me, “Who is Grace, what did she do that’s so amazing?”
While I know several people named Grace who are, indeed, amazing, my friend’s question highlighted just how easy it is for us to use
“church words” without unpacking their meaning.
Grace is a word of great importance and depth for all Christians, though we can all grow in our understanding and practice of grace.
This Sunday, we’ll continue our “Good Bones” series by exploring how our Methodist heritage embraces grace as a vibrant and central part of the Christian life.
We’ll explore not just what the word means, but what it looks like in our lives.
Join us as we continue to uncover the solid foundation and good bones of our faith!
With hope and joy,
Pastor Elise
