Tomorrow is All Saints Sunday.

At 10:00am worship, we will celebrate the great communion of saints: those on earth, and those in heaven. We will remember the lives of all the saints who have died in Christ, especially those in our own lives who have died in the last year. We hope you will join us for this special service.

During the 9:00am hour, there will be Sunday School for children and youth and Faith & Fellowship for adults. Make sure to bring your appetite- there will be donuts!

Our annual Trunk-or-Treat was filled with whimsy, fun, and friends! This event is always a wonderful opportunity to embrace our creative spirits and the inner child inside all of us! 🤗It was so awesome to see so many happy faces, some for the very first time. Thank you to ALL who made it possible! We thank God for the gift of joyful community! 🎃🍭🍫🍬🍁🙏

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭.

It is exhausting to run ourselves ragged trying to prove our worth.

Between bouts of vainglory and self-loathing—we fear we are not good enough and we believe we can make ourselves worthy.

𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺, 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘹 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘕 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦.

But you are worthy of love, now.

In the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we live in a state of grace. Grace to be held near by a God who knows us and loves us. Grace to be accepted, to be given life, to be brought into the Father’s house like a prodigal son who is tired of running or like a jealous brother who can’t carry his animus any longer—we are accepted.

It is a miracle to behold. And in every generation it is truly shocking. Grace is a gift. You are accepted.

“The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, has blessed us.
May God continue to bless us;
Let all the ends of the earth revere him.” (Psalm 67)

Giving thanks for harvest time and all the people who help beautify our church grounds with autumnal joy- the Stiflers, Hutschenreuters, and Roger!
Signs of God’s blessings for us. ❤️
