UPCOMING EVENTS
Worship Sunday, May 12
The Book of James is a small book in the New Testament filled with words to live by – life lessons that would serve us well to practice every day. On this last installment in the series, and on Mother’s Day, it is good to look at the virtue of patience. Most adults look back at their mothers as examples of patience. It is difficult to demonstrate patience while holding fast to faith.
Promise Road Campus
We close the series by examining wholehearted living. The courage to be vulnerable transforms how we live, love, parent, and lead. What does this look like every day?

Spring Music Sunday
On this Pentecost Sunday, the Music Ministry will lead our annual spring music services. Music will be presented by the Bell Choirs, Chancel Choir, and Chamber Orchestra. The choir will present Te Deum, a three-movement work by Dan Forrest. A hymn of praise to God with foundations in the early Church, the Te Deum has been a staple part of liturgical forms in all traditions and has become a standard expression of Christian faith through many generations.
