Sunday's PreviewWater to Wine Read John 2:1-11 The Gospel of John shares signs of Jesus which point to his true identity as the divine one. Jesus’ first miracle of all place is at a wedding turning water into wine. Most people are surprised the wedding host saves the best for last. And yet, God in Jesus is saving the best for last. Do you espouse the attitude that the best years are behind you? That the world is going to hell in a hand basket? Jesus promises that the best is yet to come. Come and join us on Sunday morning for worship and experience the good news of water to wine. |

Exploring the Bible TogetherZoom Bible Study every Tuesday from 6:30pm -7:30pm Who Is God?
Trying to answer this question is a lot like trying to take a sip of water out of a fire hydrant. Our human intellect cannot fully comprehend God, and our human language cannot adequately express our understanding of God. Yet, there are some helpful ways for us to approach this question that can give us some “handles” to grab on to.
Starting Tuesday, January 18th, we will approach this question with humility and curiosity, and we welcome you to join our conversation. Anyone is welcome to join us - no experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary!
A helpful video to watch that we are using as a starting point for our discussion is God. There is also a great Podcast series on this topic that you can find here God Podcast Series.

Three Expressions of the Church
We are part of one church body organized in three expressions — congregations, synods, and the churchwide organization. Each expression has its particular functions but all three together share a common mission of doing God’s work in the world and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Together, they ensure a solid foundation of leadership, active involvement in communities, opportunities for dialogue and diverse perspectives, creative partnerships, and support for members and ministries of the ELCA.
