Sunday Worship
Sunday, September 14 | Begin Again: Seeds of Resilience
This Sunday, we shift from our summer schedule and return to offering two worship services on Sundays:
9 a.m. & 11 a.m. – in person
11 a.m. – livestream
Our Religious Education programs for children and youth also begin this Sunday. Learn more and register your family here.
Water gathered; futures planted. Last week we poured our waters together, naming the flow that carries every story. Now those waters feed the seeds that catch us off guard: a gourd sprawling across the yard, a question finally spoken, a possibility once buried yet still alive. Some seeds break open when we are ready, some when we are not, and some only when the weather—inside and out—shifts. The soil of our shared life is covenant—promises made, broken, renewed—so what grows here may change us more than we change it. We return to worship at 9:00 and 11:00am, and our children, youth, and families begin a new season of learning, growth, and spiritual exploration. In the fruits of this harvest time we pocket the seeds of what comes next—courage, love, the brave growth already stirring—will we make room for it to rise?
