Hoping things could change, she came to see Jesus. Would she always be an outcast in her community? Was there any hope? Jesus was moved by her situation, and she found a different kind of freedom than the world offers…as also is so with you and me. We hope that you’ll join us in worship this week. Our text comes from the Gospel of Luke 13:10-17, and our message from Rev. Bill Johnson. Worship today is about 27 minutes, a time of worshipping God together through song, prayers, scripture, and considering God's word together.
When things are going wrong, things are broken, where can we turn? Well, for one, to our faith in God—to our faith that God is always ready to help. And sometimes all it takes is one step. Our worship today looks at the woman who believed if she could just touch the hem of Jesus’ robe, then it would make her whole. What might such a step in faith look like in your life? Our message this week is brought by Rev. Charles Webb, from Mark 5:21-34. We hope that you will join us with this inspiring message, song, and prayer. Continue reading →
Naaman was a mighty general of Aram with an embarrassing problem: leprosy— AND a meddling king. Somehow the king Aram served thought it a good idea to send him over to the enemy on the chance that the God of Israel might cure his leprosy. Once there, Naaman was prepared for some mighty series of challenges in order to qualify for this cure. But what Elisa told him was anything but that…and he was about to learn an important lesson about God.
We hope you will join us for worship this week when we look at Naaman’s story and compare it with our own. Worship is just over 28 minutes, with song, scripture, prayer, and a short message. As we do each week, our closing moments together include a time of communion (breaking of the bread). We invite you to participate if you would like with some type of actual bread and drink you supply, or these elements held in your mind. You may also meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." All are welcome at our table.

We can’t think of many good reasons to intentionally let down your best friend. Yet Pastor Charles Webb talks about a good reason today in his sermon, “Matthias Got Up!” This week’s sermon and worship focuses upon Mark 2:2-12 and the story of the man with paralysis who finds himself before Jesus. We don’t know the exact name or history of the man in the scripture, but Rev. Webb gives him a name and story in helping us relate to ways that we can be spiritually paralyzed—and what to do about it. Continue reading →
