New Sermon Series Starts August 19
Pastor Jenny is back from her renewal leave and excited to share what has emerged in her time away in this new series, "Letters from Leave." We'll gather August 19, 26 and September 2 to explore everything from how we pace our lives to getting over the need to prove something to others. How do we move from faith being a mental gymnastics exercise to a deep heart knowing? Join us on Sundays at 9:00 or 10:30 for this meaningful season.

Deep Roots Begins this Fall
Got some big questions about faith, Jesus, the Bible, what we believe and how it really changes our lives? Consider joining a new kind of class this fall. We've traditionally offered Confirmation to our teenagers as a way for them to explore faith and take their next steps on their own discernment. This year, we're opening it up to adults who want to make a similar journey. Tanya Pile will facilitate this on Sundays during the 9:45 service. Chat with Tanya this summer if you want to know more!
