This Sunday-- March 20th

Regrets are regrettable. And avoidable. We must challenge ourselves to plan on staying the course and avoiding our sins and temptations so that we do not have to suffer the consequences of our bad choices and actions. When conditions around us make us feel subject to whims, accidents and bad decisions of others-- it may be that all we have to change, is our own minds. Join in furthering the conversation about God's grace covering our greatest regrets-- Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

This Sunday, March 20th @ 9:30 am in the Sanctuary.

Looking for a way to lend your voice and volunteer? We are looking for more liturgists to lead in the opening prayer and share the weekly scripture reading in each worship service. We are ready to return to in-person readers, but also are glad to receive readings via video. Is this a way you would like to share God's love and participate in worship? Contact Lisa Kennedy or Pastor Susan or call the church office!
