UPCOMING EVENTS
Worship Sunday, May 5
The Book of James is a small book in the New Testament filled with words to live by – life lessons that would serve us well to practice every day. This sermon looks at the power of the tongue. James says that a forest can be set ablaze by a small fire and the tongue is fire! It would serve us well to keep it in check.

Values are essential in shaping our lives together. Every community has aspirational values (how we say we want to live) and practiced values (how we actually live). The gap between these two has caused much pain and shame in religion. What does Jesus have to say about this gap?

Spring Music Sunday
On this Pentecost Sunday, the Music Ministry will lead our annual spring music services. Music will be presented by the Bell Choirs, Chancel Choir, and Chamber Orchestra. The choir will present Te Deum, a three-movement work by Dan Forrest. A hymn of praise to God with foundations in the early Church, the Te Deum has been a staple part of liturgical forms in all traditions and has become a standard expression of Christian faith through many generations.
