Join us for Worship this Sunday | 9:00 am & 11:00 am
Day of Pentecost
Pastor Mark H. Larson, preaching
The theme of the Day:
Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Crossing all boundaries that would separate us, the Spirit brings the wideness of God’s mercy to places we least expect it to a crowd of strangers of different lands and tongues, to dry bones, to our weak hearts. Jesus promises his disciples that they will be accompanied by the Holy Spirit, and that this Spirit reveals the truth. We celebrate that we too have been visited with this same Spirit Guided by the truth, we join together in worship, and then disperse to share the fullness of Christ’s love with the world.

Book Study with Pastor Jonathan Tuesdays | 5 PM | Zoom
Join Pr Jonathan on Zoom as the group discusses 'The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory' by Tim Alberta Alberta is a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal. Reading is always encouraged but not required, your presence is enough!

The Tolkien group is moving on to our next adventure, The Fall of Númenor, on Thursday, May 9th . TFoN is the tale of the Second Age and a bridge from The Silmarillion to The Lord of the Rings. Come join us! Knowledge of The Silmarillion is helpful, but not necessary. And mercifully, The Fall of Nûmenor is more narrative in nature than The Silmarillion That being said, the topics and conversation in this group are adult in nature and not suitable for children. We gather for fellowship at 6:30 p m and begin reading at 7:30 p m Write Alisa Norvelle at anorvelle@mac com to be included in the conversation. Namárië!
