On Sundays from August 11th – September 1st in worship we will be exploring the topic of faith in word, music, and practice. Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This series begins with the Heroes Hall of Fame in Hebrews 11 as an
introduction to the “pillars of faith” we can all follow—not just those individuals but the markers of faith we can follow as we strive to live with such utter trust in God. In Hebrews and in Jesus’ teachings in the Gospel of Luke, we learn how faith empowers us to see the unseen, boldly seek God in the face of opposition, and trust God to accomplish things we can only imagine.
August 11th – How Faith Acts
August 18th – The Eyes of Faith
August 25th – Faith in the Face of Opposition
September 1st – Faith Enough to Wait

A Little More Secure
On August 25th after the worship service, we will have a short conversation about how we might keep ourselves a bit safer when we gather together for worship and activities at the church. While we cannot eliminate all danger, we can better prepare ourselves for the eventuality of a crisis, such
as an active shooter. Bob Lilly, who has spent a lifetime in law enforcement and safety will brief us on how to have a plan.
