This is a great space for teens and parents of teens to get together, share a meal, and have conversations around meaningful and relative topics as you navigate these teen years.  All are welcome!

Topic: How to help our youth live in an anxious world.  We will be talking about anxiety and how to help support your child through these anxious years.

Sadly, the Denver Broncos are not in the Super Bowl. However, we will still celebrate by supporting two of our missions.

First, please bring non-perishable food items to the narthex on Sunday, February 8. These will be delivered to Parker Task force to help supply their food bank.

Second, we will also pass around soup pots during the children's message for monetary donations. These donations will support our Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) fund. Funds collected will help cover packing fees for groups, like our youth group, Scouts, and sporting teams. Often groups want to volunteer by helping pack, but don't have the $50 per person packing fee.

Mark your calendars for the FMSC MobilePack on October 2-3, 2026.

Thank you so much!

We are looking for ushers to serve once a month on Sunday mornings.  Ushers help greet at the Sanctuary doors, hand out bulletins, direct people if they have questions, pass out offering plates, and then help clean up after the service. 

To get more information or to say "YES!" please email Pastor Cody.

The study will focus on the book The Last Week: A day-by-day Account of Jesus's Final Week in Jerusalem by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan (2007). Note: the book has an alternate subtitle on some copies: The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem.

Please let June know if you are interested in attending or have any questions.

In preparation for Sunday worship, here are questions to consider ahead of time. You can use these in your own devotion time, in conversation with family and friends, or in a small group setting. All are welcome to join one discussion group every Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Room 216 in the church. 

We hope this practice will help you engage with the scriptural texts and sermon at a deeper faith level. 

For February 1 worship:

• This week's sermon: The Spirit's Whisper

• Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-13, Galatians 5:22-25

• Guiding Questions:

1. 1 Kings 19 is the familiar story of Elijah's escape from danger and time in the wilderness. Read the full chapter. How do you view Elijah -- strong? weak? faithful? full of doubts? This helps us consider how we might feel in a similar situation.

2. 1 Kings 19:11-13 is where Elijah expects to find God but then hears God's voice in the sheer silence. Do you expect God to be in loud, dramatic experiences? What does it mean that God might appear in the silences of your life?

3. Galatians 5:22-25 is the familiar list of the Fruit of the Spirit. How does these qualities connect with the Holy Spirit? What questions do you have about Paul's definition of the Fruit of the Spirit?

4. How might the Fruit of the Spirit be a way of God speaking to us? You may have to consider the trinitarian understanding that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit as you ponder this question.

5. If you could ask the pastors a question about this topic, what would it be?

Please join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series, How to Hear God. This Sunday's message is God's Steady Voice and our scripture readings are 2 Timothy 3:14-17 and Psalm 119:105.
