Michael John's reading of Psalm 1 from the Old Testament in our church brought joy to our hearts - how happy it is when we re-plant new generations by the waters of faith! Our church was filled with joyful music, heartfelt prayers, and long-timers and newcomers alike rejoicing in the love of a God who wants us to really, really happy in Jesus.

Our thanks to the United Methodist Women for a very successful pot roast dinner fund-raiser on Saturday night, filled with great food, and Valentine's Day love. Bless you all - have a blessed week!

Are you looking for happiness? So is the world - but Jesus has the key to real happiness. Come to our joyful worship this Sunday, and be ready to explore how the "sermon on the plain" in Luke's gospel reveals amazing things about Jesus' plan for real happiness. Come at 10AM on Sunday, and rejoice in a God who stooped low to show us the heights of joy that faith can bring!

Please remember also our Pot Roast Dinner this Saturday, Feb 16th, at 5PM in our fellowship hall. Adult tickets $12 in advance, $12 at the door, $6 for children. Good good, great fellowship, great price, and for a great cause. See you soon!

Luke's gospel invited Peter to follow Jesus into the deep waters of faith to fish - and what a catch for the people on the shore they brought home! Pastor John's sermon explained how we can become "fishers of people" like Peter when we're ready to respond to God's call in our hearts to "From now on" moments of faith. A line now marks in our church that God invites us to cross. into "From now on" commitment to discipleship in Jesus. Come catch people with us!

After the service, our United Methodist Women assembled a dozen special Valentine's Day bags for families in need with children at ShelterNow. Thank you for this blessed ministry! Podcast with sermon, prayers, and sending below, sermon text here and below the podcast. Have a great week of faith!

God's love never fails - even at the edge of our solar system, God shows us on the planet Pluto that God's love is with us! ​A heating problem meant worship was in our fellowship hall this Sunday, but the warmth of God's love shone in, as we explored beautiful poem about God's love in 1 Corinthians 13

In a world that focuses on everything but God's love, why do we claim as Christians that God's love never fails? Because, in faith, we know that only God's love wins! Paul's first letter to the Corinthians shows us how this week, in Pastor John's message.

Put aside your hopes for superheroes, the super-rich, or whatever else you're waiting for. Our worship this Sunday will get you ready for the most powerful thing in heaven and earth to come into you life!

See you at 10AM for joyful worship, stay for warm fellowship, and rejoice in a faith worth exploring and growing. See you then!

We had a joyful morning of Holy Conferencing today, with joyful worship first in our beautiful sanctuary, and then with snacks and fun in our fellowship hall, as our Children's Church took over the sanctuary. We all played a role in telling our lesson from I Corinthians 12 - The hand does need the foot, the foot needs the eye, the eye needs the head to be part of a living body of Christ, and not just a collection of similar body parts. After Pastor John's message, we made a chain out of our names, and the names of people, places, and things in God's creation that we want to connect together in the body of Christ. The chain will be our prayer as a church on our altar in the weeks to come!

We finished Holy Conferencing with reports on what we're doing this year in mission as God's church in Christ. We are a healthy, growing church, with great opportunities to reach out to our community and God's world to bring Christ to the world.
