SERMONS
Good Intentions
May 1-22
During this 4-week worship series we will look at four different sayings commonly used to comfort others that are often thought to come from the Bible. But those well-intended sayings do not offer the fullness of God’s promises that we actually find in Scripture. Join us as we explore God’s Word to discover better words to encourage and support one another.
MAY 15, 2022
Good Intentions: "God helps those who help themselves."
MAY 8, 2022
Good Intentions: "God won't give you more than you can handle."

That We May Be One
4-week worship series

Join us for a new worship series as we set the tone for the year and turn to the beliefs that unite us found in our creeds and in Scripture.
