SERVICE AT 11 AM
Mother's Day Service, Handbells, & New Sermon Series Launch
Join us this Sabbath to enjoy the music of our handbells choir and the launch of Pastor Hazel's new sermon series, "Daughters of Grace." This series highlights the powerful stories of women in Scripture who exemplify faith, courage, and God's transformative grace, whether through healing, advocacy, or leadership. Let's see how women are vital vessels of God's love and purpose. In each sermon, we will explore how these women reveal God's grace in challenging circumstances and inspire us to live today, empowered by faith and grace. The first sermon is "The Grace Touch" (Luke 8:45-48).
Jami Walker will conduct the handbells choir and lead our praise service. The entire service will be livestreamed here. Invite friends to watch.

Why Do We Meet on Saturday?
Saturday or the Sabbath is a day of rest, reflection, enjoyment, and worship. It dates back to the seventh day of the creation week, when God stopped His work and took time to rest and savor all He had created — setting an example we still follow. On the Sabbath day, we too pause from our work, reflect, and rejuvenate. We put aside the cares of the world so we can focus on our relationships and spend time together. Sabbath rest and worship give us the perfect opportunity to connect with God and with each other.
