Sunday Services
We are hoping to stay outdoors this coming Sunday, November 15.
Register now for the 10 am service.
We will make an announcement if we need to move indoors due to the weather. If we do, you will have to re-register for either the 9 AM or 11 AM morning service at that time. There will be Children and Student ministries at both services. We look forward to seeing you either in-person or online.

Trust, Truth, and Trauma: Is Forgiveness Politically Possible?
November 30 at 7 PM
In a time of deep national division, Christians are called to be ambassadors of reconciliation. Sometimes reconciliation requires forgiveness, which proves to be one of the hardest things to offer to our political opponents.
On Monday, November 30, at 7 PM, Pastor Nathan will interview Nancy R. Gibbs. Ms. Gibbs is the Director of the Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center and the visiting Edward R. Murrow Professor of Practice of Press, Politics, and Public Policy. They will explore the timely question: Is forgiveness politically possible? Join us in the Sanctuary or on live-stream. There will be a question and answer time after the discussion.

Keeping the Grace In Race
November 12 and 19 at 7 PM
Join Steve and Adrienne Reedy in this guided conversation about applying the gospel to the problem of racial division. The good news of the gospel is that in Christ, God has reconciled the world to himself, not counting our sins against, and has called us to be ambassadors of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5). We Christians have a unique, reconciling role to play in any kind of division in our world, including race.

Thanksgiving for Pivot Ministries
November 22 at 9 AM
In the past, we prepared lunch, set the table, sat with our brothers from Pivot, and enjoyed a Sunday lunch together, celebrating and thanking God for his goodness. This year our Pivot Sunday on November 22 is going to look a little different.
Instead of hosting our traditional lunch, we will prepare a Thanksgiving feast in advance for the Pivot men and transport it to them to enjoy together. This is a great way to celebrate our partnership with Pivot Ministries by providing a feast for them and enjoying the gift of giving. Sign up below to donate a turkey or prepare a dish for this Thanksgiving meal.
