Worship With Us on Sunday!

/in /by

Sunday, March 19 • 10:00 a.m.

Join us this Lent on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. in person or streaming live on Facebook as we, together as a community, seek clarity, seek wisdom, and seek a love that makes us whole.

On Sunday, we will examine Seeking: Who Sinned? When it comes to faith, sometimes there are bad questions—questions that are formed by assumptions, questions that lead us to judgment or isolation. This week, let us pay attention to the questions we ask. What assumptions do we carry? What is our intent? When seeking clarity or understanding, what are better questions we can ask?

Disciple Makers Mission Project

/in , /by

As part of our Disciple Makers class we have talked about how we can best serve God and our community. The class has thoughtfully considered several area needs to support and decided that a need that was meaningful to them and best represented how they feel they can live out Jesus’ love for the community in their own lives is the Great Plains SPCA.

They have picked the Great Plains SPCA to support as our church wide mission project for the next month. Great Plains SPCA provides services for about 4,000 animals a year. They partner with seven shelters in the metro area as well as provide care for homeless pets, reuniting lost pets with their owners, serving through their HERO program, collaboration with Puppies for Parole, public behavior classes and their Pet Food Pantry program.

Please support our Disciple Makers and Great Plains SPCA through donations of wet or dry cat and dog food, peanut butter, jerky treats, soft treats, paper towels, household cleaners. New or gently used beds, blankets, towels, toys, pet food/water bowls, kennels, and newspaper. You can also make a monetary donation that will be passed along to Great Plains SPCA.

Disciple Makers will be collecting these supplies through April 16th and you can drop off any of these supplies at the church.
