Is it kind? Is it true? Is it useful? Mindful Communication Challenge is a 5-week program based on the book by Sasha Silverman & John Odhner. The book follows five parables from the New Testament, and explores what they can teach us about leading a more mindful, charitable, happy life.

This service features a beautiful enactment of the stories of the Lord’s birth. It’s a family-friendly and newcomer-friendly service, so invite your friends and neighbors to celebrate Christmas Eve with us!
Please note that this year Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday. There will be no regular 11:00 am service that Sunday—just the Christmas Eve service in the afternoon.
This Sunday we'll be learning the story of a man who was healed by the Lord at the pool of Bethesda. Before the Lord healed this man, He asked Him, "Do you want to be made well?" Which might seem like a strange thing to ask, because how could the answer be anything but yes? If we were to be asked the same question—if the Lord were to ask us if we want to be healed of our spiritual troubles—of course we would answer yes!
The catch is that saying we want to be made well isn't enough: we need to act like we want to be made well. And sometimes the gap between what we say and how we act is bigger than we realize.
Y0u're invited to join us this Sunday, as we consider what it means to act like we want to be made well—and thus what it takes for us to actually change our lives, and receive the healing power of our God.

Join us in The Manse for a holiday tradition of carol singing and Christmas spirit! Everyone from 8th grade and up is invited! Please bring an hors d’oeuvre, drink or dessert to share!
When Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt, he did a lot of things that they didn’t see or understand. He hid his identity from his brothers. He secretly returned the money that they had paid him. And he wept for them, but only when he was alone.
The thing is, Joseph represents the Lord. Isn’t it true that we often struggle to understand what the Lord does? Is He actively hiding things from us—hiding what He does or how He feels? And if He is, then why?
I look forward to exploring this subject with you on Sunday!
