Comfy and Cozy on Sunday

You can be comfy and cozy at church on Sunday- or you can join us on Livestream- either way we celebrate and worship together!


You can join us on livestream starting at 10 and anytime after. The roads are pretty treacherous unless you have the right vehicle and the right types of tires. Please be wise and safe.
 

Happy New Year

It has been quite a year- again... We live in pretty crazy times, the type that historians will be writing about for generations to come. As we start a new year, it certainly promises to look very similar. However, here is the great thing about following Jesus, God can use EVERYTHING for his glory. Hard times are wonderful opportunities for God's Grace to shower upon us. I know that as I look back, it is during the harder seasons that was most open to God's grace and grew much more because of that.

It has been humbling to realize that the things I thought would have helped me in my spiritual life, were never as powerful as I thought they would be. Ironically, the hard things, that I often fought and prayed against, were the places where so much grace poured out. Those times were so hard, but I look back on them with such fondness because God was so at work!

We will be singing the Hymn God Moves in a Mysterious Way on Sunday It is a Hymn written by Willam Cowper. I love verse 2 of that Hymn-
ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
That has happened in my life so often I can't even count. I look at 2022 and it looks like a giant cloud- but lets look forward to that cloud breaking in mercy on our heads!

So my wish for us is neither a good or bad year. I wish for a year of grace and paying attention. A year of growing deeper in our love for the God who loves us. A year of living in the moment, walking in the light, and living out the law of Jesus in compassion and relationship. That would be the best year ever! It is a great honor to be in it with you!

2021 Giving- Postmarked by

If you want a gift to show up on your 2021 statement, it must be postmarked by Dec. 31st. If you live where I live the chances of a postal delivery coming by are pretty small, so you may need to get that letter to post box, or even better, direct your bank to send it. Anything postmarked after that will be counted as a 2022 gift. (that was the first time I wrote 2022- weird)
