EMBODY: to be an expression of or give an observable form
to an idea, quality, or belief.

The simple way of Jesus is not meant to be admired from a distance. It is profoundly participatory! Yes, the yoke is easy and the burden light but apprenticing with Jesus does not happen by accident; it calls for wholehearted intention.

"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."
Lamentations 3:21-24

Children’s Ministry: Children, join us each Sunday with your families online for a special blessing and message just for you during the service. In-person Sunday School is available for all ages below 5^th grade in which we ask that you check in your child at the KidSpace station when you first arrive. Children under the age of 3 can spend their time of the service in Classroom 100. Children over the age of 3 to 5^th grade can join the adults for communal worship and will be invited to continue their time in Fellowship Hall for Sunday School. If you have any questions about Children’s Ministry, please contact Amanda Moffat.
