This week is our Service of Lessons and Carols at both services. We hope you'll take time to reflect on the following passages. Genesis 3:8-15 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9  But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” 10  He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” 11  And he

Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2  For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3  By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. (ESV) Matthew 14:22-36 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23  And after he had dismissed the cr

8:30 am Service Philippians 3:7-11 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8  Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that

Readings for November 30 Isaiah 42:1-4 Behold my servant, whom I uphold,     my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him;     he will bring forth justice to the nations. 2  He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,     or make it heard in the street; 3  a bruised reed he will not break,     and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;     he will faithfully bring forth justice. 4  He will not grow faint or be discouraged     till he has established

First off, an apology for not getting last week's readings out. We are going to switch the posting schedule and just post on Wednesdays. The Wednesday post will include the readings for the Sunday and the devotion. Readings for November 23 Philippians 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5  Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgivi

“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”— Matthew 11:28 We find great comfort in these words of Jesus. In Matthew 11, Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest. The people of His day were weighed down—by heavy religious expectations, by suffering, and by their own sin. Jesus offers what no one else can: true rest for the soul. This rest is not simply a break from work or stress; it’s the deep peace that comes from bein

We look forward to seeing you in worship this Sunday. The readings for this week are: Philippians 4:10-13   I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11  Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned, in whatever situation I am, to be content. 12  I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secr

“Whoever receives you receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”— Matthew 10:40 In Matthew 10, Jesus sends out His twelve disciples with a mission: to proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is near. But He also warns them that following Him will not be easy. They will face rejection, opposition, and even persecution. Yet in every challenge, Jesus promises to be with them. Being a disciple means being sent. Wherever we go, we carry Christ’s message and love.

We look forward to seeing you in worship this Sunday. The readings for this week are: 2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8  Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.(ESV)

“When He saw the crowds, He had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”— Matthew 9:36 Matthew 9 is filled with action—Jesus heals the paralyzed, restores sight to the blind, raises a girl from the dead, and forgives sins. Yet what stands out most is His heart. When Jesus looked at the crowds, He didn’t see a nuisance or a burden; He saw people who were lost, weary, and hurting. His heart was moved with compassion. The Gree

We look forward to seeing you in worship this Sunday. The readings for this week are: Galatians 2:19-21 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20  I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21  I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for

“But He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?’ Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.”— Matthew 8:26 Matthew 8 shows Jesus’ authority in action. He heals the sick, drives out demons, and even commands the wind and waves. Each miracle is more than a display of power—it’s a revelation of who Jesus is: true God and true man, the Savior who brings peace in the midst of chaos. When the disciples were caught in a violent stor

We look forward to seeing you in worship this Sunday.
