Leaving Jesus
In this week's Gospel reading, Jesus and his disciples have a successful ministry moment in the feeding of the multitude. Jesus retreats to pray. The disciples leave without Jesus and encounter a storm. Jesus meets them in the midst of the storm, calms the sea, and gets them to their destination.
 
Let's continue the conversation "between Sundays." How do you know when you have left Jesus behind? Have you had an experience of Christ seeking you in the midst of the storm? Head to the website to hear this week's sermon, a great song sung by Bruce and to add your stories to the conversation.

Reaching Out

There is a sense that something special is going on at our church and we do not want to keep it to ourselves. We want to share it! Over the next few months, you will be hearing about new ways that we are going to reach out and share who we are with our community. We will be needing your help! Read more here.
 
 
Great Conversation
Join the Wandering Christian Conversation this Thursday evening. We eat dinner together at 5:30 PM then beginning at 6:30 we will be discussing Part 6 of Brian Mclaren's book, A New Kind of Christianity, "The Church Question." It's a time of great food, great folks, and great conversation!

We're On Facebook!
