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.

    What does it mean to truly make a difference in the world?
    This Sunday, we’ll explore Jesus’ call for us to be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world" through Matthew 5:13-16. Discover how our everyday actions can bring flavor and illumination to those around us, transforming ordinary lives into extraordinary testimonies of God’s love. Together, we will unpack the profound impact we can have when we embrace our identity as salt and light.

    Join us this Sunday for Rev. Val Stewart's sermon, "The Effect of Salt & Light."

    What does it mean to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world?
    As we dive into Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount this summer, we'll explore how these powerful metaphors can transform our lives and our community. This Sunday, we will uncover the significance of letting our faith "shake it out" into the world, enhancing and preserving the goodness around us. Discover how living by Jesus’ teachings can flavor every aspect of our existence and bring light to those in darkness. 

    Join us this Sunday for Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "Shake It Out."

    Where do we fit into God's mission?
    In Matthew 5:1-11, Jesus describes groups of people who will inherit the kingdom of heaven—people who often seem different from us. So, what do we do when Jesus is not talking about us? Where do we fit into God's mission if Jesus is handing the kingdom over to someone else? 

    Join us this Sunday as we kick off our summer series, "The Way: Jesus' Sermon on the Mount," in for Seth Jones' sermon, "Divine Real Estate."

    What does it really mean to be blessed?
    Discover how Jesus' teachings turn the world's values upside down, offering true blessings through unexpected means. Together, we'll delve into the Beatitudes, exploring what it means to be truly blessed in the Kingdom of God. Prepare to be challenged and inspired as we uncover the deeper joy and purpose found in following Jesus' radical path.

    Join us this Sunday as we kick off our summer series, "The Way: Jesus' Sermon on the Mount," in for Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "Role Reversal."


  • Can our lives be like prisms?
    This Sunday, we will explore the significance of Pentecost, Heritage Sunday, Senior Sunday, and our congregation's 175th anniversary. Through scripture and reflection, we'll discover how each facet of our existence reflects the divine light, illuminating even the darkest corners of our world. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the meaning of life as we journey together in faith.

    Join us this Sunday for Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "Lighted."

    What happens when we disconnect from the truth of God’s word?
    This week, our lay speaker, Patrick Wilson, will contemplate the importance of truth in our world and in our lives, especially the truth of God’s word, as expressed by the prayer of Christ in John 17:6-19.

    Join us this Sunday in Modern Worship for Patrick’s sermon, “Mooring Your Boat."
