Lenten Sermon Series - Beauty for Ashes
We begin the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday by receiving ashes on our foreheads with the encouragement to remember our humanity. "From dust you came and to dust you will return." The amazing thing is that we serve a God who loves us for our short time here on earth. Jesus came to show us the way and allow us to spend eternity with God. It is nothing short of beautiful.

Water and Roots: Rediscovering Baptism
The idea of baptism is so common that we rarely consider what it really means to be baptized. Is it symbolic? Is it sacramental? During this 4-week series, we will attempt to rediscover baptism together.
Sometimes I pretend to know the meaning of something, but don’t quite understand it. Are you the same? For example, we know baptism is important, but its meaning eludes us. What is baptism? Why do it? Do I want be baptized? Our new sermon series is entitled, “Water and Roots: Rediscovering Baptism.” This series will help us to understand the what, when, how and why questions about baptism.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Becoming New Again, Again
It's nearly impossible to begin a new year and not think of renewal. God invites us to become a new creation, entirely completely new. How? Why? What?
Caroling: The Songs of Christmas
Our Advent theme is “Caroling: The Songs of Christmas,” where we explore a Christmas hymn and its corresponding scriptures.
Carols are a big part of the Christmas season, yet we may not always take the time to contemplate their meaning. From "Joy to the World" to "Silent Night," the songs of Christmas help give meaning to story of Jesus’ birth. What do they say? How do the carols correspond with scriptures? Let’s explore this together in our Advent sermon series, “Caroling: The Songs of Christmas.” All are welcome, and there is more than enough grace to go around!

Harvest
It’s fall, and inevitably our minds turn toward changing leaves, apple cider, and gobbling turkeys. For thousands of years, autumn has been known as the time for harvest.
Sermon Series: Harvest
It’s fall, and inevitably our minds turn toward changing leaves, apple cider, and gobbling turkeys. For thousands of years, autumn has been known as the time for harvest. Crops are gathered , bundled, and stored away. Because old and new testament scriptures were first told to a largely agrarian society, the bible has a lot to say about harvesting. This series explores the imagery of the harvest to describe and understand what means to live as God’s children.
