Jammies & Jesus

Join us on New Year's Eve, Sunday, December 31, for our last Jammies and Jesus gathering until Spring 2024. One last Dad Joke for 2023. One last gathering for fun and fellowship.

New Adult Ed Class

Adult Education is offering a new study on The Difficult Words of Jesus by Amy-Jill Levine, Sundays, January 7–February 11, 11AM. Jesus provided his disciples teachings for how to follow God’s word, parables to help them discern questions of ethics and of human nature, and beatitudes for comfort and encouragement. But sometimes Jesus spoke words that followers—then and now—have found difficult. He instructs disciples to act as if they are slaves, and to sell their possessions and give the money to the poor. Dr. Levine shows how these difficult teachings might be interpreted today.


Books are on the office credenza. Class will meet in the office conference room and on Zoom

Youth Winter Break

Youth Group, Middle & High School Sunday School, and Confirmation Class are all taking a short break for Christmas and New Years! Enjoy the holidays with your families, and our regular schedule will resume on Sunday, January 7.

Office Closure

The Church Office will be closed on New Year's Day, Monday, January 1. Happy New Year!

See You in Church!
