Worship Service: 11am-12pm Steve Ebsen has our message titled “Approved by God” How do you think about your relationship with God? Do you think of it in terms of pleasing God or trusting God? Do you often think of God’s love for you as conditional, based on your behavior? We’ll explore these questions and re-examine the Gospel of Grace. Perhaps we will all find a way to truly rest in God’s love. Join us in person or online via our livestream on YouTube or Facebook or directly on our Homepage. Church Service Online!

Don’t forget to join us directly after our worship service over at Lyon’s Park for our pop-up picnic in the park – please bring a side dish to share!

In the Foyer we have a lockbox for tithes and offerings collected on site. Use an Offering/Tithe envelope to specify a specific ministry if desired. All loose offerings will remain for our local church. Please no foreign coins.
