THIS IS US

I recently rediscovered a collection of letters that my father wrote during his time overseas during the Vietnam War era (he served in the Air Force in parts of Thailand).  It’s a fascinating, strange, wonderful and heartbreaking thing to read letters from a loved one who passed.  To be frank, it took me a little off-guard because I’m surprised at …

GRATEFUL – FOR OUR NEIGHBORS

The Bible has a lot to say about pride.  ‘Pride’ or ‘proud’ appears about 120 times in the Old and New Testaments, and not much of it is positive.  James offers a representative sample: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6).  The general sense of scripture is that God hates pride and we should do …

MAKING HALLOWEEN MEMORIES

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but it’s been a while since I experienced Halloween as a child.

RUTH – THE GOODNESS OF GOD

My extended family loves asking each other hypothetical questions just to see where the conversation will take us.  Some are silly, some are serious, some are curious.  An oft-repeated hypothetical around our dinner table is some variation of the following: “if you could have lunch with anyone on earth who is not part of your family and not named Jesus, …

Layla Hall

On October 15th, 2023 Layla was baptized into our faith community.

We hope you will join us in celebrating this big moment with …
