This Sunday, lay leader and lay speaker Karen Grube will offer us God’s Word reminding us that “I am a doer of the Word.”

Being a "doer of the Word" means actively living out the Word of God in one's daily life, not just hearing or reading it.

Join us for worship as we praise God, learn from our Savior, are inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit, and as we thank God for the men in our lives! The men in worship will be gifted something special!

See you in worship!

You are welcome here!

You might ask: what is Juneteenth?

Thank you for asking!

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States.

The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau [portmanteau is a word created by combining the sounds and meanings of two or more words] of the words "June" and "nineteenth", referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.

In the Civil War period, slavery came to an end in various areas of the United States at different times. Many enslaved Southerners escaped, demanded wages, stopped work, or took up arms against the Confederacy of slave states. In January 1865, Congress finally proposed the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution for national abolition of slavery. By June 1865, almost all enslaved were freed by the victorious Union Army, or abolition laws in some of the remaining U.S. states. When the national abolition amendment was ratified in December, the remaining enslaved in Delaware and in Kentucky were finally freed.

Head downtown and join in the Juneteenth celebration! You won’t regret it!

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” - Proverbs 19:21

Join us this Sunday as lay leader and lay speaker Karen Grube teaches you that “you are good and have purpose!”

Sometimes, it can be very difficult to figure out what you want to do in life and what your purpose is. We were all put on this earth for a reason and to make a difference. We often have a hard time seeing ourselves as good and finding our purpose, but God has one for each and every one of us!

Come and learn some ways to find your purpose, to know that you are a part of God’s good creation, and to trust that the Lord has a plan for your life!.

Our readings for the day will be from Job 42:2; Romans 8:28; Philippians 1:6; & 2:13; 1 Corinthians 3:8; and Galatians 4:18.

Come and find your purpose! Come and know that you are good!

Come and find Jesus!

You are welcome here!

Our readings for the day are from Psalm 139:13-14, Ephesians 4:1-10, and 1 Corinthians 3:16

Come and find Jesus for your life! Know that you are one of His Beloved!

You are welcome here!

Join us this Independence Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches that when we give our life to Christ we can declare "I am free!”

Jesus followers are free. In North America our perspective of the word "free" is much different than our Christian brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. There, Christ-followers are Spiritually free in every way, as we are, but are not as free as we are to express their faith in a public way.

As Paul wrote the book of Romans he had faced his share of persecution. Paul had been whipped, beaten, tortured, imprisoned and left for dead. He was one of many thousands of Christians during the first 300 years of the Church to be treated this way.

When you read a New Testament text you need to keep this perspective in your mind at all times — that the person who wrote that book more than likely was persecuted and killed for preaching about Jesus. So how could these writers say something like this, "For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love." Galatians 5:13

Our readings for the day will be from Psalm 119:41-45; Romans 6:12-23, 8:1-4; Galatians 4:4-7 & 5:1,13

Don't miss out on this special occasion to come together as a community and celebrate our Freedom in Christ!

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches on what it means to declare for yourself, “I am a Child of God!” 

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” –1 John 3:1

What a gift this is! What a relief to be known as children on God!
We have this amazing title, this identity and belonging.
Can you even begin to imagine the depths of love this gift of being called a child of God truly is?

Come and find Jesus for your life! Know that you are one of His children!

Our readings for the day are from Romans 8:12-16;  Galatians 3:26-29, 4:6;  Ephesians 1:5, 2:10; and 1 John 3:1-2, 5:11-15,18

You are welcome here!

“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” - John 13:34-35
