Stewardship Snippet - February 21, 2021
“All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.”
Psalm 25:10
God’s commandments and Jesus’ teachings are not optional for Christians; they are given for the purpose of our growth in Christ. In turn we share Christ’s love with our neighbors and steward carefully all of God’s good gifts.

Peace DialoguesSunday, February 21, 2021 at 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Join us for facilitated conversation from 12:30pm-1:30pm on Zoom as we wrestle with what it means to be church together in a complex world. Peace Dialogues is designed as a safe, grace-filled place for our church community to discuss various topics of inequality and injustices in our world today. Through dialogue with one another we hope to gracefully explore challenging and sometimes controversial topics in our search to see God's plan and hear God's call more clearly. This Sunday’s Peace Dialogues falls during Black History month. Our topic will be on race in America. We will ponder and discuss how we, as members of the Body of Christ and members of a predominately white denomination (over 95% of the members of the ELCA classify themselves as white (Pew Research 2014)), are called to address our historical and ongoing racism in America. It is through our reflections and listening to one another that we hope to listen for and hear God's call. For more information on "Peace Dialogues" visit our webpage HERE. |

Exploring the Bible TogetherTUESDAYS @ 6:30pm. Join Pastor Jake Fain, Deacon Andrew More, and Pastor Paul Miller as we explore the Bible together. Check out this week's episode by clicking on the title above to view Character of God: Gracious. What does it mean to say that the God of the Bible is gracious? In this video, we’ll look at the Hebrew words for grace and understand it to be a rich concept that has profound implications for how we see God and the biblical meaning of grace. You may watch last week's episode Character of God: Compassion by clicking HERE. Go to https://bibleproject.com Exploring The Bible Zoom Bible Study
Each Tuesday from 6:30 pm – 7:00 pm we will have an open discussion of one of the Bible Project videos. This week it will be helpful for you to watch the YouTube video of Character of God: Gracious above first, but not required. We’ll spend about 30 minutes unpacking the video and opening it up for questions, insights, comments, etc. This link will work for all subsequent Tuesdays, so keep it handy. Anyone is welcome to join us! No experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary! Join us as we explore the Bible together!

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.
