We welcome and celebrate our 2022 Confirmation Class. Since last September, these 18 individuals have devoted themselves in preparation for today. They performed acts of service, studied together, traveled on retreats, learned from mentors and from each other. Today, they publicly profess what they believe. At their baptism, their parents and the Church entered a covenant to live as witnesses of God’s grace, mercy, and faithfulness. Today we experience another degree of God’s saving work of faithfulness to bring that work to completion.
(Phil 1:6). Ā In seen and unseen ways, the Holy Spirit continually works to form the nature of Christ in them…
Confirmands with mentors Matthew & Tammy Reynolds and Grace Bailey
Join us this week after Wednesday Night Supper for the Children’s Choir Spring Musical, “The Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hit.” How scary can Goliath really be? Come learn about all of David’s challenges!
Rev. Green continues a Sermon Series entitled, Understanding Yourself to Love God. During this series, personality types will be explored to shed light on how to get to know yourself. In turn, this helps us to know and understand Godās divine love. Sermons have focused on the personality traits of those who need for things to be perfect, those who need to be needed by others, those who need success, and those who need to feel special. Within the sermons, Rev. Green gives advice on how to tackle negative qualities of each personality type while uplifting positive qualities.
