2026-01-25 10:00 - 11:15 | LMC & Streaming
It’s Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday! Pastor Nathan will preach on Luke 10: 25-37. He shares, “Each year, Mennonite World Conference invites all of their member churches to celebrate Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday on the date in January closest to the adult baptism that is considered the beginning of the Anabaptist movement. This year, we focus on the parable of the compassionate Samaritan and how that applies to our lived theology as Anabaptists.”

MLK Sunday

On this weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Pastor Richard will preach on John 1: 35–51. He writes, “This text, which picks up where last week’s reading left off, tells of Jesus calling his first disciples. Twice in the passage, potential followers of Jesus are invited to ‘Come and see.’ Martin Luther King, Jr was someone who modeled a faithful response to this invitation, and whose vision helped others to ‘come and see’ as well.”

We won’t hold any Christian Formation classes or formal fellowship time this Sunday.

Fourth Sunday of Advent
2025-12-21 10:00 - 11:15 | LMC & Streaming
Our theme this week is “Be amazed: Love comes down.” Pastor Richard will preach on John 1: 1–18. He writes, “Many Christians focus on going to heaven someday. But the main storyline throughout the Bible is that God repeatedly reaches out to humanity on earth.

We won’t hold any adult Christian Formation classes on Sunday, but children and youth will hold a rehearsal for the Christmas pageant on December 24.
