Welcome! We're a small church doing BIG things with the help of God!
We believe that God loves, values and embraces each person as a beloved child. Therefore, we welcome people of every age, size, color, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, ability and challenge. We welcome people from all faith traditions, those with doubts, and those with no sense of faith at all. We also commit ourselves to the pursuit of environmental, economic, social and racial justice.
*“What are you carrying this morning that God doesn’t mean for you to carry?
The women left their spices at the tomb.
Peter left his guilt behind.
You can leave your burdens, too.
Because Easter isn’t just about something that happened 2,000 years ago.
It’s about what’s happening now—
when mercy replaces shame,
when fear gives way to peace,
when resurrection breaks into your life and says:
You are forgiven.
You are free.
You are loved.”*
Jesus visits the home of Lazarus, Martha and Mary on his way to Jerusalem just days before his death. While is there, Mary pours a jar of very expensive perfume over his feet. He interprets it as an “anointing for his burial.” In Jerusalem, Jesus will be arrested and crucified— pouring his life out in love for us.
Jesus tells a story about a family broken by resentment and selfishness, and a father who comes to reconcile his children.
