When we say God is the triune God, we are saying something about who God is beyond, before, and after the universe: that there is community within God. Our experience of this is reflected in Paul’s words today. When we pray to God as Jesus prayed to his Abba (an everyday, intimate parental address), the Spirit prays within us, creating between us and God the same relationship Jesus has with the one who sent him.

Summer Worship Schedule
Worship services this week are:
- 9am indoors with RSVP
- 10am online
- 10:30am outdoor / drive-in
The 10:30 worship service will be led from the outdoor platform as often as the weather allows, giving attendees the choice of drive in or bringing chairs or blankets to sit on the lawn. If weather prevents the service from being held outdoors, it will still be broadcast on the FM frequency for drive-in attendees.
