Easter: He Is Risen! (4/5/26
Happy Easter! Today is the day on the Christian calendar that culminates into all that we believe as followers of Jesus.

As the cost of everything continues to rise, so does the cost of being church. As household budgets have tightened, giving to the church has fallen off. As we seek to continue to be a church for the generati

First Sunday of Lent (2/22/26)
Lent Today is the First Sunday in the Lenten Season. Lent is that time in our liturgical year designated for self reflection. It is a time that we are preparing ourselves for the Resurrection of Christ for Easter and the Easter season which will carry us through Pentecost. Many people choose something in their lives they will give up during this part of the year. Some give up the use of alcohol. Others will do away with chocolate. Our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters
