Please join the Show Up and Sing choir during the month of January. If you have ever considered singing with the choir and perhaps cannot commit to Wednesday rehearsals, we invite you to Show Up and Sing on Sunday mornings. Rehearsal begins at 8:30 a.m. to prepare to sing the anthem for the 9 a.m. service.

Want to know more? Please reach out to Paul Ijames.

But please join us again at 10:30 a.m. on February 1 in Room 137 to continue to consider Paul's invitation to transform our lives (Romans 12:1-2).  Questions?  Please contact Susan Gustin.

Looking for a great place to serve? We need your help! 

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.

Our altar flowers each week are given in honor or memory of someone. We usually have one arrangement each Sunday. The church office orders from our vendor, Little Shop of Flowers.

Please speak with Candi Robinson if you 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 January 25 worship:

• This week's sermon: God’s Steady Voice 

• Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:14-17, Psalm 119:105

• Guiding Questions:

1. When you hear the phrase “God’s steady voice,” what comes to mind? What does steady mean to you right now?

2. In 2 Timothy 3:14, Paul urges Timothy to “continue in what you have learned.”Why do you think faithfulness over time matters in hearing God’s voice? What habits or practices help you stay rooted when life feels uncertain or noisy?

3. Psalm 119:105 says God’s word is a “lamp” and a “light.” What does that image suggest about how God usually guides us? How does this verse challenge the idea that God will always show us the whole path at once?  Can you recall a time when God’s guidance felt more like a slow, steady light rather than a dramatic sign?

4. In what ways have Scripture, tradition, community, or past mentors helped you recognize God’s voice? How do you tell the difference between God’s steady voice and other voices—fear, pressure, or culture? How can regular practices, like worship, small groups, prayer, or Scripture reading, help us recognize God’s steady voice over time?

5. How has your understanding of how God speaks changed over the last few weeks? Have you experienced God speaking to you in a new way? What do you hope to learn over the next few weeks with this sermon series? 

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.
