Our Paint and Sip event, led by resident artist Kara Stanton, has become a beloved congregational tradition — and this year's gathering proved that the program is only growing stronger. For the second year in a row, members of our community came together with paintbrushes in hand and creativity in their hearts to share an afternoon of art, conversation, and fellowship. An Event for Everyone This year's Paint and Sip welcomed a wonderful mix of participants, including new memb

There's something special about the start of a new season at church — the familiar faces returning, the energy in the air, and the sense that we're picking up right where we left off, only stronger. Welcome Back Sunday brought all of that and so much more. Memories Worth Keeping As members gathered and began wading through items pulled from the storage cages, a wave of nostalgia swept through the gym. Someone spotted the tablecloths and signage from the Strawberry Festival. A

In July, our Sunday School classroom and garden beds became places of learning, wonder, and growth. As part of our Creation Care focus, the children planted vegetables and herbs, watered the new plantings outside, fed the growing plants, and watched seeds begin their quiet work in the classroom.

Our recent cooking classes with Josh Carin brought our community together for a fun, hands-on culinary experience filled with learning, laughter, and great food. Each session offered participants the chance to build confidence in the kitchen while exploring new techniques, sharing conversation, and enjoying the process of creating something delicious together. The latest class focused on making quiche, and it was success. Participants learned how to prepare this classic dish

Our Sunday School celebration was a beautiful blend of faith, fun, and Easter joy. We began by reflecting on Matthew 28:1–10, the powerful resurrection story that reminds us, “Do not be afraid.” As we talked together, the children heard the good news that Jesus is alive, and that message filled our time with hope, excitement, and peace. A special highlight of the morning was a visit from the Easter Bunny, who shared a delightful story titled The Parable of the Easter Lily . T
