This Sunday
 
This Sunday we engaged some "Lessons for Living from the Life of Joseph." In the epic story of the life of Joseph, we are introduced to a person with a dream, integrity, reliance on God, and the ability to forgive - all characteristics of a successful meaningful life. If you missed the service (which included some great quartet music), you can watch here. And join us all week on The Daily as we read through the story of Joseph together in the daily lectionary! 
  
Sunday Morning Prayer Circle
            
Beginning Sunday, August 24th, we will gather at the front of the sanctuary for a brief time of prayer at 10:00 AM. We will pray for our worship service, for our SpiritKidz, and for any other needs brought to the group. All are invited to join us.
