Join us for Thursday Night Live on Thursday, April 23 at 7 PM for a meaningful evening of worship and prayer. Through contemporary music, Scripture, a short devotional, and intercessory prayer, we’ll take time to slow down and refocus our hearts on God. Come as you are -- and feel free to invite a friend.
Worship With Us – May and June
During the month of May, we will conclude our sermon series “Grounded: Finding God in the World” and begin a new series entitled “Not in God’s Name,” based on Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ book Not in God’s Name: Confronting Religious Violence. Living in an age of religious extremism and violence, we will explore its supposed biblical roots to find that “to invoke God to justify violence against an innocent is never an act of sanctity but sacrilege.” The God we worship in Jesus does not condone but rather grieves for those who use violence for said religious reasons… “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
