Our “Route 66” journey through the Bible’s 66 books covered 16 books on Sunday – not counting the small book of Lamentations, which is also part of what Christians call “The Prophets” section of the Bible. Sometimes this can be confusing because that’s not the only place in the Bible where we read about prophets. This section is specifically called …
What a great sermon we heard Sunday. Thank you, Pastor Sean, for a great start to our Route 66 series. It is no small feat to summarize any five books of the Bible, let alone the first five, which are so foundational to our faith. It was an excellent summary and a wonderful opportunity for each of us to better …

God uses ordinary people to help kids experience His love in extraordinary ways. VBS is special because it is one of the few opportunities where our entire church family can serve side by side – kids, student, parents, grandparents – everyone. There’s something special that happens when we all gather and serve together at VBS. We become more than just …

They speak about joy and fear, gratitude and exhaustion, confidence and doubt, hope and heartbreak. In many ways, the Psalms …
Mother’s Day presents a sacred opportunity to reflect on the calling of motherhood. It can also be a day of sadness. Those who have lost mothers or were mothered by women who struggled with that calling can feel disenfranchised by the celebration. We see and acknowledge that, and we hold you in our hearts. Some mothers are saints, others are …
Connecting Women, Growing Faith, Building Community Before accepting a job at PTCUMC in December of 2018, my family and I attended and became members of this church. Tim and I were a young family with two little ones – Elizabeth had just turned 2, and Lillian, was only a few months old. Everything was new, and if I’m honest, a …
This year’s Confirmation journey was a meaningful and transformative experience for both our students and me. From our first gathering in November through our closing retreat in February, students were invited to explore what it means to follow Jesus and take ownership of their faith. Throughout the process, we had powerful conversations, asked important questions, and created space for students …
