Psalm 111 reminds us to give thanks to the Lord with our whole hearts, to delight in the work of God. As we prepare for worship this Sunday, you are invited to take a moment and consider what God is doing in this world and then join us on Sunday as we worship wholeheartedly.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the Visioning Summit on October 5. We had a good turnout and accomplished many things. We will be providing a progress report tomorrow morning through email and will share more information during worship on October 20th.
