The Season I Love to RepeatBy, Sharon Withers Today, as I write this, is gray and overcast, a perfect Winter day, quiet and still. The trees, stripped to the bones, show off their true structure, emphasized by the hoarfrost. Nature is resting and awaiting the advent of spring. The Church celebrates seasons as well, and Advent may be my favorite. It is…

A few months ago, Dean asked that I reach out to meet Pauline, hear her recent journey with cancer and share her story with you – a story…
Fall Festival & Coat Drive: A Success! Dear Hope, I would like to personally extend an enormous thank-you to everyone who joined us for the Fall Festival this past Sunday. This year was even more amazing than last year, in no small part due to our our partnership with Reclamation Church (who rents the Sanctuary on Sunday evenings). We saw a lot…
Our Fall Festival is Sunday! Please invite friends, family & neighbors! 9AM SUNDAY WORSHIP | OCTOBER 29. The identifying symbol for Christ and His followers is the cross. A vertical and a horizontal beam. Engraved in marble, forged from gold, embossed in leather, carved from wood and suspended before worshipers. Like the silhouette of an electric chair, a hangman’s noose or a guillotine,…
