Pentecost Sunday- This Sunday is Pentecost! Pentecost is the 50th day after Resurrection Sunday and concludes the season of Easter. We will read and hear about the birth of the Christian Church in Acts 2. In our worship gathering this week, we will be singing the song "All Over the World" by Tree63, which is new to us, so give it a listen. Looking forward to seeing you Sunday! - Pastor Jeremy & Sarah

Church Partnership in Guatemala - Pastor Jeremy, Ed, Jen, Nathan, and Lauren all returned from Guatemala early Tuesday morning. Other than some sickness issues since their return, the trip was a huge success!

Plan on giving input, resources, and your time in the months and years to come as we seek to make this a true church partnership!
