Worshiping With Us During the Pandemic
As we follow the latest information and recommendations regarding gatherings, please join us in doing everything possible for the health of one and all! Please stay home, if you do not feel well, if you or someone close to you has been exposed, if you or someone close to you has been tested. We will keep you informed with further updates!
Thanks be to God for those who have given their time and leadership as we worship in our sanctuary, and as we together do everything possible to honor, serve, & care for one and all!
You will find more details below, including signing up for worship, signing up to volunteer, what to expect, and children's activity sheets. You can also access these details on our website and on our Facebook page!
Worship each Sunday will be a 30-minute service including live music by our worship leaders, a children's message, and a message from Pastor Jamie. Holy Communion will be offered as the service ends. If you prefer, if your timing is better, from 10:15-10:30 a.m., you are invited to drive up to the curb of the sidewalk in front of the building, and receive Holy Communion in your vehicle.
Each Sunday we will make every attempt to live stream the service for you, beginning at 9:25 a.m.
We hope you join us for worship! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord;
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You,
I want to see You.
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord;
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You,
I want to see You.
“I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
"Put your back into it." We hear this phrase all the time. What do you put your back into? What are you willing to commit yourself to? To put a little extra effort into? How does that feel? How do you feel afterwards? Sore? Kind of proud?
"Put your heart into it." This requires something completely different.
Did you catch that? Completely? How do you feel when you do this, when you put your heart into something? Do you feel complete?
When you put your back into something, you put your hard work into it. This is good. When you put your heart into something, you put yourself into it, you put the center of who you are into it. This is best!
As we continue our Lenten journey, trust Jesus puts his heart into us. Long ago, God wrote his law on our hearts. Long ago God put his heart into us, his complete heart into us, and as he did so, he opened the eyes of our heart, and we see him again and again, in God's grace alone!
Let us pray: Jesus, today I confess I do not always put my whole heart completely into you, believing you, following you, and making you and my neighbors first. By your Spirit, give me strength when my back is not really into discipleship and your law. By your Spirit, open the eyes of my heart to see Your complete heart, and Your complete grace alone, are into me. In Jesus' name, I pray with my heart forever in you. Amen.
