Embrace God’s word with us at PEACE! Today’s readings offer two ways to respond to God’s word. People either embrace it, or they don’t. But God promises an abundant “inheritance” for those who do, adopting us as his own children. Anything we’ve done wrong, any way in which we’re less than perfect, it doesn’t matter! […]
Need faith? Worship with us! Today we have ONE WORSHIP SERVICE at 10 a.m. A congregational meeting will follow the worship service, after coffee and baked goods in our Fellowship Center.

Pentecost celebrates the gift of the Holy Spirit! Our Sanctuary today is splashed with red and filled with beautiful balloons. We hope it helps you feel the mighty, sweeping, swirling, lifting up of God’s Holy Spirit! Jesus calls it “the Spirit of truth.” That’s because the truth is that God loves you, exactly as you […]
