This Weekend in Worship

Preaching: Pastor Steve Knudson
Sermon: “What's the difference between hope and wishful thinking? Finding Hope in Christ”
For Paul, true spirituality means that we experience the reality of the Spirit, which enables us to pray as God’s children, keeps us in solidarity with creation, and gives us unseen hope that God will liberate us and creation from bondage to death and decay. 
Scriptures: Romans 8:18-27 NRSV
Special Music: 9a: Resonaré Bells
Guest Musician Marilyn Mark lead service music on Piano & Organ​

Youth Forum  – Previewing the Generation Change study for Youth and their parents. It's hard to show a teen how faith can cross over into every aspect of their lives from relationships to budgets. This gives parents and teens a starting point to look at who God created you to be and how to side-step the clever marketing of the world around us. Check out more and RSVP on the Generation Change page.
