A note from Pastor Travis 3/19/26

Tomorrow is the first day of spring! It has been a cold and snowy winter but soon the flowers will be blooming, and the trees will be full of beautiful, new green leaves. 

The first flowers are already starting to poke their heads up out of the soil and the bunnies are in my yard again. The promise of the new life that spring brings is already with us.

The promise of new life in Christ is with us too! Soon we will be celebrating this gift of life in God through Holy Week and Easter. 

We invite you to join us as we give thanks to God for the blessings of Christ.

We also invite you to give a special Easter gift. This offering will be used for the ministry of our church as we share God’s love in our local communities and around the world. 

I give thanks for your generosity. Your gifts empower our church to serve God, and they change lives.
