SUNDAY WORSHIP

Sunday, June 28

It's Commitment Sunday! Commitment Sunday is the annual event in the life of our congregation that encourages each of us to prayerfully consider the opportunity to make a difference in lives, community, and the world through our church.

This is the work of the church: to share our stories, make sense of our lives, and rejoice at the ways God has turned our despair into hope. Then, in response, we give generously—our resources and our story—not because we are obligated, but because we are grateful. We give not because we have a debt to pay, but because we have been down in the hole before and we know the way out. Rev. Tonja's sermon, “We Know the Way Out" is based on Psalm 116:1-4, 12-19 (The Message).

Worship will be available on our YouTube channel beginning Sunday at 10:30AM. Sing along with the hymns and take part in the service with our virtual bulletin here.

Commitment Card: If you received a Commitment Card in the mail, take time to fill it out and prepare it to be mailed at the end of the service. If you prefer, you may complete it online instead, using this form: https://bit.ly/2020CommitmentForm
