Worship Series
God Goes to the Movies Summer Worship Series
Summer 2025! We are excited to bring back our most loved sermon series, God Goes to the Movies! We consider movies to be modern day Jesus parables. God can speak to us through movies in profound ways! We encourage families and friends to watch the designated movie each week prior to Sundays and to consider theological and life themes in light of the gospel message.

Ash Wednesday Worship
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, and a time when we contemplate our mortality, sinfulness, and need of a Savior, remembering with confidence and gratitude that Christ has conquered death and sin. The worship service includes a prayer of confession and the imposition of ashes to symbolize our frailty and death. From dust we came, from dust we shall return. Check our calendar for the date of this service each year.
Night of Hope
During this annual worship service in December, we explore together ways in which to cope and find hope for loss amidst the noise of Christmas. This service includes honoring those we have lost by naming our Saints who have gone before us. A bell will be rung after each loved one is named. If you would like to name a special person in your life who you have lost, email Pastor Chris or Molly Riedel.
