Unexpected Gratitude
One of the first lessons a parent will teach their child is to say “Please” and “Thank you.” It’s a core cultural norm and good etiquette. “Thank you” acknowledges the action, thought, or gift. It also shows appreciation for the gift and the giver. Scripture speaks of saying “Thank you” in several verses: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “I thank my God every time How COVID has affected us
Discipleship You Don’t Have to Travel For
On Sunday, November 8th we started a new series called, “A Divine Dining Experience.” In this series, we are looking at four meals Jesus had with people and the teaching He gave during those meals. The overriding theme of the series is that Discipleship starts at home and the challenge for the month was to have a sit-down meal every day with your family and ask three questions. “What God sightings did you observe today?” “If Jesus were here at How COVID has affected us
Forget About It!
How are you at forgiving and forgetting? I’ve heard many people say, “I can forgive, but I won’t forget.” I think this is almost a natural reaction. People do this as a way to protect themselves from being hurt again. As Christians, we strive to be like Christ. In fact, there are several verses that tell us to do this. But we like to pick and choose what we follow. John 13:13-17 says, “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly How COVID has affected us

Truth under Fire
The concept of truth has become under attach in recent years. It used to be entertaining when you would watch a sitcom where the whole premise was to spend the half hour covering up a lie. It was comical and harmless. How times have changed. We no longer endure dishonesty in sitcoms alone but we’ve come to accept lies in real life – from friends, family, and even from our leaders. It’s a sad narrative that when a politician speaks, How COVID has affected us
Well Done
By Andy Bratton, Senior Minister Today I received a call from someone explaining to me that their family had tested positive for Covid and would be on “lockdown” for a couple of weeks. I expressed to this person that if they needed anything to make sure and let me know and to not be shy. This person went on to share that a certain person in our church went and grocery shopped for this person and their neighbor to make How COVID has affected us
The Only Thing That Matters
By Sara Blasko, Children’s Ministry Director Do you ever start out with great intentions and then fail miserably? Well, welcome to my world lol.

Lost In These Uncertain Times?
Do you ever feel lost? Do you ever feel undecided? Do things seem uncertain and the future unclear? You are not alone. This year has been unlike any other. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, forest fires out West, hurricanes in the South, and political uncertainty have made us all feel we have lost control with no idea when it will come back. On top of all the events affecting our nation and the world, many are dealing with family issues, employment uncertainty, How COVID has affected us
The Reminder of God’s Creativity and Design
By Andy Bratton, Senior Minister Ah, the changing colors of fall. Such beautiful colors, especially when the sun is shining on the leaves after a small rain so the colors glisten. There are tunnels of trees you can drive through and be surrounded by the colors. There is a chairlift ride you can take for $5 to see the leaves. I am looking outside my window at the church and can see all kinds of colors as I type this. How COVID has affected us
Showing That God Has Chosen You
By Sara Blasko…..and guest writer, Peter! Sometimes when I’m not sure what to write about I open my Bible or my Bible app looking for something to write about. This passage of scripture really spoke to me today, and I hope it speaks to you. I love how Peter instructs us to just keep adding these characteristics to our lives. Keep adding these things as you grow in your faith. I really couldn’t do better than Peter so enjoy! Wise How COVID has affected us
