Wouldn't it be nice to hear that more often, "I am so pleased with you!" Rather than an internal or external list of our faults and shortcomings? This Sunday we near the end of our Back to Basics sermon series and Accept our Beloved-ness, walking with Jesus as he begins his public life and ministry in baptism (Luke 3:1-22). Water is a powerful force for connection, humility and grace. Grab a glass and join us in the sanctuary or online!

Miss church?
We miss you, too! Dr. Rob Bradley reminded Sunday school last week, that once we are vaccinated, we are safe to return to in-person worship. We know that many of you are still waiting. But we'll be here (in masks, with distance and safety protocols) when you are ready. If we can do anything to help you feel more comfortable, please let us know.

The Missions Team will be selling packaged, homemade Chili and Chicken Orzo Soup in late February to raise money for our Habitat for Humanity Faith Build and other Mission projects. Watch for details or volunteer here to help.

Everyone's a Planter: Lay Planter Training

In this self-paced, online course participants watch videos, read short articles, respond to questions, and enter into a learning dialog with each other and a moderator, someone with planting experience chosen to guide and mentor, invite participants to consider more profound questions, and help with creating a ministry plan for the new ministry or new faith community being dreamed. Participants are expected to:

  • participate in the FREE orientation on March 6 to learn more,
  • pay $100 registration fee to begin the course (the MSC will reimburse half upon completion of the training),

  • meet at least twice with your cohort and mentor, and
  • via Zoom, briefly present a ministry plan at the end, on June 19.
