“In Hospitality”

The word we read as “hospitality” in the Gospel of Matthew is derived from Greek words more closely translated as “friendship” and “stranger.” How are we doing in creating an environment of open friendship to strangers in our midst? Pastor Dave attempts to understand recent church break-ins in the light of the Biblical requirement to provide hospitality to all.

Music Minute

Everyone - young and old, past and future choir members, experienced singers and pew singers - is invited to sing “America the Beautiful” with the Celebration Choir this week in honor of Independence Day. Please meet in the multipurpose room (with the window looking into the sanctuary) at 8:30 a.m. We will practice together, then sing during the offering.

Vespers Venue

Sunday night at 8:00 p.m., in the cool of the evening, after a weekend at play, the church doors open for Vespers. Songs will include “In the Secret” and “Amazing Grace”. This casual, brief worship experience also includes a Bible reading from Mark 6, prayer, and silent meditation.
