THIS SUNDAY

May 10, 2026 - Mother's Day

Rev. Adam Spore, 8:30 am Traditional Worship

& 11:15 am Modern Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, 11:00 am Traditional Worship

 

He had washed their feet. He had broken the bread. And now, in the quiet of that upper room, he was trying to prepare them for something they couldn't yet imagine — a world in which he would no longer be physically present, and they would have to find a way to carry on. His answer to their unspoken fear was a promise: that they would not be left alone. That something — someone — would come to dwell not just among them, but within them. This week, we sit with that promise and the mystery it carries - The Holy Spirit. Have you felt it? And do you know what to call it when you do? Join us Sunday as we ask these questions together.

  • This Sunday Pastor Tully preaches live in Modern Worship. Join us as we dive into a message of reconciliation and forgiveness. Paul reminds us that when we are in Christ, we are made new, leaving our past behind and embracing God’s forgiveness. As we walk through Lent, we are called to follow Christ’s example by forgiving others and offering peace, just as He did. This is the heart of living in the Kingdom of God – a place where grace and love flow freely. Join us as we explore how to make this new reality a part of our daily lives.


  • We all create images of what our lives will be like - now and in the future. However, sometimes we have to give up on what we thought our lives would be like.  Life happens.  Things change.  Join Rev. Teresa Krueger (retired clergy and church member) as she explores what happens when we are forced to move away from our pre-conceived ideas of how things should be. Oftentimes, we realize that when we give up expectations, it draws us closer to God. Yet, while it may be good to let go of some things, we should never give up on our faith or Jesus.


  • Have you ever wondered, "When is enough, enough?" We all face moments where we question how long to keep trying, keep forgiving, or keep holding on. Jesus' parable of the fig tree challenges us to think about second chances, timing, and when to take action. God calls us to love and forgive, but also to recognize when it’s time to let go. Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to trust God’s wisdom in knowing when to keep trying and when to step back.


  • Modern Worship Sermon Overview
    Have you ever had a moment that completely surprised you—in the best way? Maybe it was a kind word, a beautiful sunset, or an unexpected answer to a prayer that made you stop and say, “Wow, that just made my day!” God is always at work in our lives, showing up in ways we never expect. This Sunday, join Pastor Val in our Modern Worship service. Let’s open our eyes, ears, and hearts to the promise of life Jesus offers—because when we do, we’ll find more hope, joy, and purpose than we ever imagined!


  • Traditional Worship Sermon Overview
    Following Jesus isn’t a scenic drive on a wide, easy highway. It’s more like a winding, narrow road—challenging, unpredictable, and sometimes uncomfortable. If we’re being honest, we’d probably prefer a smoother route, one with plenty of rest stops and clear signs telling us exactly what to expect. But Jesus never promised an easy road; He just promised that He would walk it with us.

    This Sunday, join Pastor Tully as he talks about what it means to stay on that road, even when it feels difficult—because the destination is worth it.


  • This Sunday, as we begin our Lenten journey, we reflect on the powerful story of Jesus in the wilderness—a place of temptation, struggle, and clarity. Just as Jesus wrestled with scripture and his identity, we, too are called to examine our own beliefs and confront the temptations that shape our lives. Lent invites us not only to decide but to act—to face the hard truths and allow God to transform us from the inside out. Let’s take this time to go deeper into our faith, challenge old patterns, and truly live out the gospel.
