Join us this coming Sunday for our Service and Learning Recap and Reflection gathering. Rather than dividing up around the region like we normally do on Service and Learning weekends, we’ll all be together at 22 Willow. We’ll gather in the Sanctuary for some singing together, updates from the Peace in Action Team, and some videos to both look back at our serving and learning together, and to look forward to this coming year! The children will remain in the Sanctuary, and the service will be crafted with them in mind. After the service, we’ll head right to the gym for our youth pancake breakfast fundraiser. We’re looking forward to a meaningful and inspiring morning together!
The Names of God, Part 1: The Personal Name of God.
Does God have a name? Sometimes it is translated in English as Yahweh, sometimes as Jehovah but most translations of the Bible instead render it LORD. Why is this so confusing and what can we learn about God from this name recorded in the story of Exodus.
COMMUNITY REST – DECEMBER 28, 2025 – No Sunday Gathering.
We’re taking the Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s to pause, breathe, and reset as a community. This break is especially to give our incredible volunteers a well-deserved rest from their Sunday morning commitments. Thank you for all you do—we hope this small pause offers you some space to recharge during a very full season.
Advent, Week 4: Joy – Resilient Joy: The Lord is Near.
As we are nearing the end of Advent, we look forward to the “good news of great joy for all people” that the angels proclaimed in Luke 2. But joy is sometimes elusive, and it can ebb and flow with the ups and downs of life. This week we will look at Phillipians 4 and at Paul’s instruction to believers to “rejoice in the Lord always”. Is that even possible?!?. We will see Paul’s basis for a resilient joy throughout the seasons of life: “The Lord is near”
