Sunday's Worship PreviewA Not So Peaceful God Read Luke 12:49-56 Jesus is trypically considered the Prince of Peace. And yet in this reading he makes the radical statement, “Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!”(Luke 12: 51) What does it mean for Jesus to bring conflict into your lives? If you’re content with the world the way it is, this will be a disturbing teaching. However, if you are restless with the brokeness in this world, then you recognize that conflict is the beginning to bring about a lasting peace. Join us on Sunday morning as we hear the good news of Jesus who disrupts our lives so that we might find true peace. |

Exploring the Bible TogetherZoom Bible Study every Tuesday from 6:30pm -7:30pm In our “Exploring the Bible Together” study, we meet by Zoom as a small group for about 45 minutes each week. Our study covers a wide range of topics, examining more closely the history, content, context, development, message, and interpretation of the Bible. As we do this, we grow in our understanding of the relevance and application of the Bible for our lives today.
Summer Bible Study on The Apostle Paul: We invite you to journey with us this summer as we follow the Apostle Paul, learning about how the early church was planted and grew from a small sect within Judaism in the 1st century to our beloved faith practiced by billions of people through today. In May, we began a 16 week study of the Apostle Paul - the person, the missionary and the letter writer - based on the book, The Greatest Story: Paul (Augsburg Fortress), This study does not require you to purchase the book, but it is helpful.
Anyone is welcome to join us - no experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary!

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.
