This Sunday we got to hear from Rev. Deanne Lynch as we continued our journey through the Book of James. This week, we talked about the gift of prayer that allows us to talk to God anytime and anywhere.

Please join us in prayer on this Memorial Day as we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice,
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
Almighty God, before whom stand the living and the dead,
we your children, whose mortal life is but a hand’s breadth,
give thanks to you: For all those through whom you have blessed our pilgrimage,
whose lives that have empowered us,
whose influence is a healing grace,
We lift up thankful hearts.
For the dear friends and family members whose faces we see no more, but whose love is with us forever . . .
For the teachers and companions of our childhood and youth, and for the members of our household of faith who worship you now in heaven…
For those who sacrificed themselves, our brothers and sisters who have given their lives for the sake of others…
That we may hold them all in continual remembrance, and ever think of them as with you in that city whose gates are not shut by day and where there is no night…
That we may now be dedicated to working for a world where labor is rewarded, fear dispelled, and the nations made one, O Lord, save your people and bless your heritage. Day by day we magnify you, and worship your name, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Summer Lunch Program (Starting June 1, 2025)
The Summer Lunch Program is an incredible opportunity through our ministry partner - Village of Hope. Each Sunday, we'll be packing bags of food to deliver to children in our community. Many of these children rely on school breakfast & lunches and don't have access to steady meals during summer break.
