Can we discern the true essence of our existence in the midst of our possessions?
Join us this week as we delve into the Parable of the Rich Fool from Luke 12:13-31, where a man's quest for material wealth intersects with Jesus' timeless teachings. The familiar prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," takes on a profound significance, challenging us to consider its layers of meaning in our spiritual and practical journey. Be part of this exploration as we unravel the connection between our relationship with God, the pursuit of wealth, and the call to be rich toward God in a world often marked by greed.
Join us this Sunday with Rev. Val Stewart's sermon, "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread."

Rev. Val Stewart, Associate Pastor
Have you ever lost something really important to you? Mary and Joseph once lost Jesus, but he wasn’t really lost—he was right where he needed to be! This Sunday, we’ll hear the story of how they found him and what it teaches us about growing in faith and looking for Jesus in the right places. We'll see you Sunday!
In this week's scripture reading, Luke 1:46-55, we hear Mother Mary's song, the Magnificat. In her song she sings about her delight in the Lord and her awe at His great love. But what if this song is our song too? Join us Sunday at 8:30 and 11:0 am as Pastor Tully reflects on Mary's words in her verse and imagines that these were our words too.
This Sunday Modern Worship will be holding a special service of scripture and contemporary Christmas music that tells the story of Jesus’ birth as we prepare our hearts to receive Jesus again. Come experience the nativity story through scripture and song as our Modern Worship band leads the music, and members of our congregation read the scriptures dear to our hearts. Pastor Val will bring a short message, “The Scandalous Birth Story” based on Matthew 1:18-25, and we will go out singing with joy, and filled with the hope, peace, and love of Christ in our hearts.

Patrick Wilson, Lay Speaker
We live in a highly developed world, dominated by the trappings of an advanced society. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by our possessions and our obligations. As we try to please everyone around us, the pressures of the Christmas season can make it even worse. How do we reconnect with the true spirit of Christianity? Our resident lay speaker, Patrick Wilson, will explore that question in this week’s sermon, “Enchanted.”
Traditional, Dr. Kevin Tully, Senior Pastor
In a time of division and uncertainty, the prophet Isaiah delivered a powerful message of hope, reminding us that true salvation doesn’t come from earthly powers but from trusting in God’s promises. As we light the pink candle of Advent, symbolizing joy, we are invited to reflect on where we place our trust and how God’s love calls us home. Come experience the joy of Christmas with us this Sunday!
