24th Sunday after Pentecost

Sunday, November 8 | 10:00 a.m. | Sanctuary 

"Be Ready”

Matthew 25: 1-13 (NRSVue)

110826 Sermon Title.jpg

Gratitude is more than just another emotion, attitude, or something to save for certain times of the year, like Thanksgiving or a financial campaign. Rather, gratitude is a foundation, a starting point on the journey of becoming a disciple. Giving thanks fortifies us for the life of a follower of Jesus Christ, for the glories and the struggles. We aren't promised an easy road in this life of faith, but we are promised presence. We are not alone, and for that we always give thanks.

​

Join us for the 24th Sunday of Pentecost as Pastor Jay leads us in worship with this week's "Give Thanks" sermon series, titled "Be Ready"

"Isaiah Is Called"

Isaiah 6: 1-8 

Press the play button to view the 

Sunday School Video.

In our Bible story, Isaiah was a little unsure about being a leader for God. He was worried he might not be good at it. But he used his voice to say yes to God. Isaiah became a prophet by using his voice to answer God’s call.

Today's Blessing:

Dear God,

We are always listening for your voice. Use us in ways that bring your Kingdom on Earth. We are here, God. Send us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
