This Week – July 15, 2018

‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35
 
What is Jesus talking about? He calls himself BREAD? What is the significance of this image? Join us as we continue our sermon series on Jesus as the Bread of Life. This week, Jesus calls himself the “Bread sent from Heaven” and the religious leaders listening begin their argument. Join us as we contemplate what it means to be bread for the world.

This Sunday, June 24th!

Have we lived up to the promises we’ve made to God and to our brothers and sisters? What is our responsibility to our human family? Join us on Sunday, June 24th as we conclude our series on “Jesus, the Prophet” with a discussion on sheep, sinners and the work of repentance. Jesus calls us, through his parables and through his actions, to welcome those despised by the world. Are we?

Vacation Bible School will be postponed this year

What is Jesus’ relation to the Hebrew prophets, especially to the prophet Jeremiah? How does Jesus fit into the long line of Jewish mystics, diviners and sages? or does he? Join us on Sunday, June 3rd as we begin a series on ‘Jesus, the Prophet’ and share in Holy Communion together.

This Sunday – May 27, 2018

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, once said, “Bring me a worm that can comprehend a human being, and then I will show you a human being that can comprehend the Triune God!” Join us on Sunday as we celebrate Trinity Sunday – a day to reflect on the ways God works in our lives! We may not be able to fully understand the Triune God, but let’s give it a try!

We will also have a special time to remember our service-men and -women who’ve been lost in war on this Memorial Day Sunday. Join us!
