Join us this Sunday as we come to the end of our worship series Who Do You Say That I Am? with The Christ, a reading from Mark 8:27- 9:8, and a sermon by Pastor Joel Pancoast. Also this Sunday at both services, we will be commissioning our newest Stephen Ministers. These very gifted people will strengthen in our congregation the gift of caring ministry to those who are grieving or otherwise in need. They have answered a special call to use their gifts to follow in Jesus' caring footsteps.
Next Week, we begin Lent on Wednesday with Ash Wednesday, and start our Lenten series Thy Kingdom Come with Money, and a reading from Mark 10:17-31.

Praying Like Jesus Taught
Join us for our midweek Lenten Small Group and Worship focused on Prayer. When Jesus' disciples asked him how to pray he gave them the Lord's Prayer as a model for prayer.

Each week there will also be various prayer practices to try out at home throughout the week.
