Don’t be conformed to the patterns of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your minds
so that you can figure out what God’s will is
—what is good and pleasing and mature.
Romans 12:2 (CEB)

Join us in worship for our next sermon series, "Uncharted Territory", where each week we will explore what it means to move forward as the Church in these ever-changing times. Using examples from the travels of Lewis & Clark and leaning on Scripture as a guide, Rev. Kay Scarbrough will begin the series Sept. 6. The series will coincide with our all-church "Canoeing the Mountains" book study. Join us!
