This Sunday

Rev. Adam Spore, Senior Pastor

 

Modern Worship @ 11:15 am in Fidelis Hall

Rev. Val Stewart, Associate Pastor

 

We’ve all hit that breaking point—the moment when the pace of life feels impossible to keep up. In 1 Kings, the prophet Elijah reached that place too. He wondered if he could keep going, even to fulfill God’s calling. What do we do when we find ourselves there? This week, we’ll look at how God sustains us and gives us what we need to keep living out His mission.

  • 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.


  • Baseball season is here, and whether you love the game or not, I have an incredible baseball story to share! A young fan once left a World Series game feeling disappointed, only to realize later he had witnessed history! In the same way, when we fail to worship God, we miss out on the bigger picture of His presence and power in our lives. Worship isn’t just about singing songs—it’s about seeing what truly matters and celebrating the amazing reality of God with us. Join us this Sunday as we explore how worship and celebration open our eyes to the wonder of God!
