Join us this week as we continue our new series: Prayers of the People.
We pray for hope and peace, for mercy and forgiveness, for strength and joy. The biblical characters before us did the same! The prayers of the people have not changed throughout the centuries. Draw encouragement through hearing the prayers of God’s people, then and now, and how God responded.
Saturday evening we celebrate our scouts during worship!
- Details:
- Sunday School: Pre-K-High School! Children will begin in the sanctuary with their parents to hear the children’s message and then be escorted to a Sunday School classroom off of Providence Hall. Elementary students will continue to meet in Providence Hall and middle and high school students will meet in the middle school classroom.
- Dodgeball is back for middle and high school students! Following the Sunday School lesson, middle and high school students will head to the gym for a covid-safe game of dodgeball.
To help our students get back into the habit of attending Sunday School, we are offering a reward program. Every time a student attends Sunday School, she/he will be given a raffle ticket for a new iPad, drawing to be held on Sunday, June 20 when we will celebrate everyone’s return. Students will also be given small rewards for every 4 times they attend Sunday School. Studies show that rewards are an important part of creating new habits - so let’s work together to make Sunday School a habit once again! Contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34
Throughout the Lenten season, we have been speaking of seeing things through the lens of love. If you haven’t had a chance to watch these video clips as part of worship, you can view them here. The final one is a reminder to see yourself with the lens of love! What I like most about Joe Martin is that he sees himself as God sees him and still realizes he isn’t perfect. He then goes to the hospital for sinners—the church.
None of us is perfect but seeing with the lens of love gives us the chance to love one another as we are loved!
