Kick-Off Sunday and Potluck
September 13 will be our Kick-Off Sunday as we begin the fall 2026 season! Our ministries will be restarting and returning to their regular activities, and we’re excited for another season of growing, serving, and connecting together. After the service, we’ll have a potluck lunch, so plan to stay, bring a dish to share, and enjoy a time of fellowship with our church family.

Traveling with God
As many of you prepare to travel this summer, God has placed something on my heart that I would like to share with you. Consider this a simple word of pastoral advice: wherever your journey takes you, remember to take God with you. Vacations may change our surroundings and our routines, but they should never interrupt our walk with Him. Summer is a season when many people travel. We make plans, pack our bags, and go somewhere to rest, visit family, or enjoy new experiences. B

A Summer in Philippians
This summer we’re beginning a new sermon series through the book of Philippians called A Life Worth Living. Philippians is often called the letter of joy, but it teaches us something even deeper. True joy isn’t found in easy circumstances—it is found in Jesus Christ. Throughout this letter, we’ll discover how Christ gives us purpose, peace, strength, and hope no matter what life brings. Whether you’re reading Philippians for the first time or have studied it many times before
