WELCOME GUESTS AND FAMILIES
We are a "three streamed" church with elements of sacrament, scripture, and Spirit woven throughout the service. Godly Play (for kids grades PreK - 6th), healing prayers, and Communion offered each Sunday. See an usher with any questions, and be sure to fill out a visitor's card in the pew so we can welcome and learn more about you.
PROPHETIC WORDS
The sharing of prophetic visions, words, or Scripture are welcomed near the beginning of the service, just after the third worship song. "Words" are revealed through dreams, themes, visions, Scripture, and physical sensations. How will God use you this morning for the benifit of his peopls?
1 Corinthians 14:26
PRAYER MINISTRY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE
Prayer is offered by trained prayer ministers each time we meet. Prayers are offered after the service in the prayer alcove, or up front from our clergy.
ADULT AFTERGLOW CONTINUES
This week Adult Discussion Sunday School will reconvene and meet in the Upper Room.
Just after fellowship.
HOLY WEEK PRAYER ASSEMBLY
A gathering of people to pray for our church and the community will happen Tuesday, March 31, from 5-7PM. Holy Week is an ideal time to pray for God's kingdom to be revealed "for all the world to see." Come prepared to bless the grounds and pray for the surrounding communities. A mailchimp should arrive in your email box Sunday afternoon detailing the event.
