Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, January 17

Published on // Written by

Life is a gift from God. Our God is the author of life. Therefore, we value life from beginning to end. As a church, we have stepped up for life by promoting and supporting prayer, advocacy, adoption, and other resources and encouragement for those who are pregnant. For years we have partnered with Care Net Pregnancy NW with finances and other support. As Executive Director Nanda Kirkpatrick, says, “Pregnancies don’t pause for a pandemic.

First-love Fast: Is this really the time to fast?

Published on // Written by

Is this really the time to fast? I have to be honest, I was less than excited to engage in a 21-day fast this year. After all, have we all not been living in a 9-month fast of sorts? We’ve had to go without certain things, say no to things, and embrace various reductions and experience inconvenience.  We had our routines shifted, priorities changed, and, for some, our jobs diminish or even cease. Some of us had a lot of extra time on our hands, while others became busier than ever ... Read More

I felt it was important for me to reflect with you how I was processing our cultural context with the Lord and others. Today, I want to share what I am currently thinking, feeling, and praying in the midst of what transpired at the Capitol with the rioting, insurrection, and attacks on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. I am grateful that I had three corporate prayer meetings already scheduled for today ... Read More

So as we enter into this 2021 First-love Fast, let this question lead us and guide us into the love of God.    After all, fasting is really all about love; it is ... Read More

Join Us for Our First Love Fast

Published on // Written by

Join us as we respond to the invitation of the Lord. We are kicking off the new year with a 21-Day First Love Fast, January 4 – 24. Casting vision for fasting. “When you [fast to] practice some appetite-denying discipline to better concentrate on God, don’t make a production out of it. It might turn you into a small-time celebrity but it won’t make you a saint. If you ‘go into training’ inwardly, act normal outwardly. Shampoo and comb your hair, brush your teeth, wash your face. God ... Read More
