"Transparent Jesus"

Steven D. Morris, Guest Speaker and Guest Artist

11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook

 

Transparency is a buzz word now, but our master teacher, Jesus, has always been transparent on what he believed, and how we should show up in the world. Join us as we look at what it really means to be Christ-like.

"The Ripple Effect of Kindness"

Michael Brundy, Guest Speaker

11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook

 

Small acts of kindness can create a lasting impact far beyond what we can see. Kindness is like a ripple in a pond - it spreads far beyond the initial act.

YOUR COMMUNITY

Opportunities and Upcoming Events

March is Senior Nutrition Month, four weeks dedicated to bringing awareness to senior hunger in our community. You can make a tangible difference in the life of someone in need by adopting one or more of Meals on Wheels' 271 daily meal delivery routes. Each route serves 10-12 homebound, elderly or disabled individuals.

 

Each of the 271 routes is available for adoption every weekday during the month of March, giving you 21 opportunities to adopt a route that is meaningful to you. Each route is $100 per day. You can choose to adopt a route for just one day, perhaps for five days, or the entire month.

 

  • $100 - Adopt a route for one day
  • $500 - Adopt a route for one week (M-F)
  • $2,100 - Adopt a route for an entire month

 

If you can't adopt an entire route, please consider making a donation in any amount to help provide lifesaving meals to those in need. No amount is too small. However you choose to give, Meals on Wheels thanks for your generosity!

Join us for coffee and lite bites before Sunday Service. Drop by the Administration Building between 10:00 and 10:45am and meet other folks, connect, and enjoy a cup of coffee. We look forward to seeing you there!

Can Fear Be A Teacher?

By Sara Crawford

 

Fear is sometimes described as “false evidence appearing real.” Most of us have heard well-known quotes like “There is nothing to fear but fear itself” by Franklin D. Roosevelt or “The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear” by Nelson Mandela. Yet it’s important to understand the value of fear, not just conquer it.

 

Fear is one of the most basic human emotions. It’s instinctual and it’s programmed into the nervous system. From an evolutionary standpoint, fear protected us from predators and other dangers. In today’s world, fear can be a profound teacher that reveals deep insights about us.
