Glad you stopped by. Snoop around. Discover some things about us. You are not only welcome here, you are also welcome to share life and faith with us as we look to follow Jesus with both feet week in and week out in person.

Perhaps. I was listening to a conference talk and the speaker suggested one of the most perplexing words of faith is perhaps. We fear perhaps because we prefer to be sure, certain. Perhaps indicates a timid confidence. Perhaps suggests we are still thinking, working, considering – or as an old deacon friend from Texas used to say, cogitating.

We always think it is good to read the Bible through. Reading the entire Bible is one way to keep from honing in on one author, one book, one section which often creates a skewed view of the Story Of God.

From Pastor Todd’s Weekly Email . . . Some Old Testament scholars point out the disappointment the Jewish people experienced when comparing the “Second Temple” with the “First Temple.” I remember buying my first Mustang. Red. 1964 1/2. Mustang enthusiasts understand the significance of a ’64 1/2. I drove it from Texas to Frederick, Oklahoma….
