Worship for June 26, 2022: The Beautiful Gate -- Acts 3

Continue through our series on Acts. Pastor Mary Stein-Webber explores the miraculous healing of a lame man just outside the Temple in Jerusalem. What life is this that has raised up this man? Who did this and by what power? For whom is our faith for? All these reflective questions and more as the Holy Spirit moves from the upper room of a house out into the public squares of the ancient world.

Worship for June 19, 2022: Trust. In Spite of Ourselves (Reposted from June 13, 2021)

Due to the marvelous demands of Vacation Bible Camp, we are reposting a worship service from a year ago for this weekend. It was one of the first Sundays together after Pastor Amy returned from sabbatical. We appreciate how far we have come as a church. Enjoy this revisit of one of her favorite sermons!

Worship for June 5, 2022: A New Temple, An Old Story -- Acts 2

Who is the church in times of immense disruption? We begin a summer series on the Book of Acts, hoping we get to know our ancestors better. And all the more, we hope to find ourselves in their struggles and triumphs. The day of Pentecost is here. Holy Spirit, rain down!
