It’s hard to believe we’re already on the cusp of the fall season once again! We’ve had quite a year, filled with both challenges and hope for the future. I’ve always felt like fall is a season of new beginnings. As churches tend to follow a school schedule, fall is a time to begin a [...]

As we slowly come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and return to “normal,” it is a good opportunity to reflect upon the ways we’ve changed and grown during this period.

The year 2020 was a difficult year, to say the least. This year, we lived through a global pandemic, a contentious national election, and nearly a year of virtual church. Despite the challenges, God has brought us and our congregation through to a new year – hopefully a year that will bring better circumstances than [...]

It’s hard to believe that we’re entering another Advent and Christmas season! The year 2020 has been a challenging year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
