Stories | Meet Mary “We moved to our neighborhood in the heart of Covid so it took a while for us to meet many of our neighbors. Over the past few years, we formed relationships with many of them, but we didn’t find the time to reach out to others that were still so close by. We decided to host …
After counting down for what seemed like months, summer has finally arrived! No more school, no more homework! As I stared down at my calendar and planned all the things I wanted to do with my family this summer, I paused and realized that we were very inward focused (on just our family) and not pointing us outward towards getting …
“We had so much fun at summer camp last year! Hadley really wanted me to volunteer to be her group leader. I was a little hesitant at first because I’m not used to being in charge. I’m usually the helper to the helper. I felt like it was important to take the opportunity to spend that time with my daughter …
It’s hard to believe that Memorial Day is already behind us, and that means that Summer is fully upon us. It hasn’t felt much like it lately, but we all know the heat is coming: car interiors that are hotter than the face of the sun, golf cart seats that threaten to instantly melt your skin, baseball games that are …

I, Shannon, an apostle of Jesus Christ, bring you greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior. I thank God every time I remember you for your enduring love and perseverance throughout the years. Your goodness proceeds you and I pray that it always will. It’s pretty easy to write like Paul isn’t it? Declare who you are in …
When I first became a mom, we had a neighbor named Sue. She and her husband Bill had four grown boys and a few grandkids. She was a wealth of information any time I was overwhelmed because motherhood was all too new to me. Bill and Sue were members of First Presbyterian Church but they never talked to me about …
Sometimes I dream about writing a book. I already have a title in mind: “So You Want to Be the Smartest Person in the Room.” It’s essentially a book to my younger self. I don’t have enough material yet to fill a book, and even if I did, I’m not confident it would sell. But I do have some thoughts …
If you missed last Sunday, I hope you’ll consider watching the service online (here’s a link if you want to watch right now)! It was one of those experiences that we need as a church, not because of the sermon or the music, but because of the commitments that were made during worship.
