10am Sunday Worship Service-Blessing of the Backpacks
Students of all ages are invited to bring their (empty) backpacks to worship for a special blessing with the congregation and receive a backpack tag.
This Summer, God Goes BACK to the Movies in worship. We explore a movie each week through the context of our faith. Throughout the week, we encourage you to watch the movie prior to Sunday and consider theological and life themes in light of the Gospel Message. Movies can sometimes be referred to as modern day Jesus parables. God can speak to us through movies in profound ways! Some questions to consider as discussion after the movie:
- What challenges your faith in this movie? What faith questions arise because of this movie?
- What ideas affirm your faith in this movie?
- What can we learn about God from this movie?
- Where can we see grace, redemption, love, and sacrifice in this movie?
Today we will explore the movie: Dear Evan Hansen, about an anxious, isolated high-school student who's aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social media age. He soon embarks on a journey of self-discovery when a letter he wrote for a writing exercise falls into the hands of a grieving couple whose son took his own life.
