Sunday School is Coming Soon!

September 1, 2015 Education, Youth Comments Off on Sunday School is Coming Soon!

Sunday SchoolOur teachers are excited to begin a new year of Sunday School with a brand new curriculum. Classes for children (age 3 through high school) and adults will start on September 13, 2015 at 9 AM.  Parents must register each child every year.  Registration forms will be available in fellowship hall beginning on Sunday, September 6.  We hope you’ll join us!

 

Adult Class– Our adult class also meets at 9 AM on Sunday morning.  You can find us in the Collis Room (just past the pastor’s office).  We will be studying Jesus’ “wisdom parables” in the Gospels.  Although this is a continuation of last year’s study of the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, Jesus brings a new perspective to the wisdom of life–both in his day and all succeeding days, including ours.  The format is listening to an expert in DVD format followed by discussion.  Come and learn and discuss the relevance of Jesus’ teachings for today!

Wednesday, Lenten Study: Renegade Gospel

This has been a challenging study for many of us that has us questioning our priorities in our lives and wondering if we are collecting enough “dust on our sandals” from following Jesus.  Are we truly followers or are we merely volunteers?!

Thursday, Maundy Thursday

Maundy ThursdayA beautiful service of love with the sharing of the bread and cup as Jesus shared it with his disciples on that night of the Last Supper.  Thank you to our chancel choir for their beautiful offerings of music.  The service was followed by our Prayer Vigil with individuals keeping watch throughout the night in a time of prayer and meditation.

Good Friday

The bell tolled at 3:00 PM recognizing the death of Christ. words_from_the_cross_niv We gathered again in the evening for a solemn service with meditations on the Seven Last Words of Christ spoken from the cross.  This was a very powerful and memorable service with individuals speaking from deep in their hearts on what these words mean to them.  We went out into the darkness to await the coming celebration.

Sunday Service – February 8, Rev. Jack Moss

February 8, 2015 Education, Missions, Worship Comments Off on Sunday Service – February 8, Rev. Jack Moss

Today’s service was about Mark 9:2 – 13, known as the Transfiguration liturgy.

 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

Alice Collins gives the children a little lesson on it with her “WOW” card and Rev. Moss talks to us about this mystical passage and its meanings in today’s world.
