The Physicist and the Farmer: Being Who We Are Created to Be
Rev. Dr. T. Ray Wheeler
Matthew 5:13-16
God doesn’t want perfect little followers, and you don’t have to be something you are not to be a good follower of Christ. We should bring all we are in our walk with Christ. Of course, we also must create space for others who find a home in our church. They need to bring their authentic selves as well!

Pastor Michelle's Bible Study returns September 4
Pastor Michelle's Wednesday night Bible study returns on September 4. We meet from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. (you can arrive or depart anytime in that window) in the Gathering Room. In the month of September, we will be doing a deeper dive in Revelation to coincide with the sermon series. All are welcome to join us in person, or online at this link.
Helpful Revelation Pamphlet
Our September sermon series will cover the Book of Revelation, but perhaps from a direction you haven't tried. Pastor Michelle has a favorite resource for people to use for this confusing book of the Bible, a pamphlet by Rose Publishing entitled Understanding the Book of Revelation. We have ordered some copies, and if you would like to purchase one, click HERE.
