Rev. Dr. Michelle Morris
Doubt and Doing
This sermon looks at the little difference Jesus can make in his hometown, up against the commissioning of the disciples to go cast out demons. What miracles are at our fingertips that we do not even try to make happen because of our assumptions about it being impossible?

Planning a Legacy Luncheon - Postponed
Due to low response, we have postponed this event until later in the Spring. Watch for updated information.
Mental Health First Aid Training
Saturday, February 17th, 8am-5pm
Sign up to attend this 8 hour training on how to respond to someone who is in a mental health crisis. You will learn useful skills and information that take some of the fear and anxiety out of responding. You may also aid in keeping a situation from escalating. Lunch will be provided. Registration deadline is Sunday, February 4. There is no charge for this training, as it is being sponsored by The Mixers Sunday school class, but the number of people allowed is limited, so please sign up here to hold your space.
