“From Social Media to Social Ministry” by Nona Jones is a very informational book I am currently reading that details how the church can effectively reach people. With today’s rapidly evolving technology, how does the church stay relevant and up to date with these changes? Looking back at summer and all that the Youth were doing, I know I was...
I grew up watching the news. As a 5th grader, I remember watching in horror as the US rushed to pull it’s last folks out of South Vietnam, ahead of the fall of Saigon. I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t understand why we were fleeing, and it didn’t look like we had much military coverage for our people, as helicopters...
It looks like we’re back to the point of very limited in-person attendance and more folks joining us online again. I keep being asked, “Are we having church?” My response today is, we’re going to keep the doors open if at all possible.

There’s a new order of worship, a new way of collecting the offering, and a new pastor. There have been improvements made to the wiring and lights, and the soundboard...
If you weren’t in worship Sunday, I announced that we’d be another week (at least) in the relaunch of our contemporary service. We’re enjoying being together for now, as Trevor has done the special music, along with Kendra and the choir one week, and preached another. But we’re still working to resolve the aftereffects of the freezer going...
Do you remember with the rocket launches, there always seemed to be some issue that delayed the launch? Well, apparently we are no different. On Sunday we realized that one of the freezers in the Social Hall kitchen wasn’t working. Unfortunately, it had apparently been a few days and it happened to coincide with the heat of July the 4th. The...
