Give Thanks. Give Back. Give Joy.
Preacher: Jessie Houff Scripture: Ephesians 1:15-23. Matthew 25: 31-46. Psalm 100 Today, we are focusing on three scriptures, each with a different theme and what each message means. We’re going to reflect on giving thanks, giving back, and giving joy. As I read, an artwork will be next to the message. I invite everyone to…
Not a Place Where We Can Be but God is Present There
Preacher: Jennifer Hosler Scripture: Genesis 45:1-15; Psalm 139:1-14 How closely does God care for us?

Before All Things
Preacher: Nathan Hosler Scripture: Amos 8:1-12; Psalm 52; Colossians 1:15-28 Our passages in Amos and Psalms challenge pride and power. Common, perhaps worn out, themes in this town.
