Lenten Soup Suppers

Lenten Sermon Series

SUNDAY’S COMING WORSHIP SERIES – God sending Jesus to join us on earth
was to break the distance many felt between them and the divine. Jesus was
relatable, accessible, and personable. This is never more evident than in his last
days leading up to His crucifixion and the way He continued to connect and serve all
the people around Him, especially those that others have forgotten. This lent season,
we are going to be journeying through Jesus’ work leading up to His death, and how
it can inspire us to live each day as those who God died for.

Wednesday Night Discussion Group

Our Wednesday Night Discussion Group with Asbury UMC is beginning again on September 13th at 7pm with the study of a book called, “On Purpose”. If you’re interested in joining, Pastor Rachel has free copies of the book available. This study will be on ZOOM using this link. 

"The Chosen" Bible Study

A few years ago, an online series called “The Chosen” made its debut and has sparked a lot of deep theological discussions on discipleship. Pastor Rachel and Matthew would like to invite people to watch through this show and study the Gospels with them over the next few months on Thursday nights at 7pm starting on September 14th at the upstairs television at the church. You can find the schedule here.  If you would like to learn more, you can watch the “Pilot” episode for free here.
