Join us this Sunday at 10:30am for

The Cause of Freedom Versus Tyranny

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries many of our religious ancestors were revolutionaries. They said no to kings. They said no to bishops. They said yes to freedom. Mindful of this, their legacies ask us, what does the cause of freedom versus tyranny require of us today?

By guest minister Rev. Dr. Colin Bossen

With music by David Shontz and Friends

Food on the First

Food on the First

Food on the First is this Sunday. We invite you to bring nonperishable food items such as peanut butter, canned beans and vegetables, tuna, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese (especially the type that doesn’t require extra ingredients), rice, cereal, canned fruit, and other shelf-stable staples. Items that are easy to prepare and kid-friendly are especially helpful. In addition to donated food items, all plate collections on the First will be given directly to the local food bank to help provide fresh food and other essential supplies. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us care for our community in this tangible and compassionate way.
