WORSHIP
NEW! SERMON SERIES: Formed: Who's Shaping Your Life? . August 9 - September 27

Every day, we are being shaped by something. The values we embrace, the voices we trust, the habits we practice, and the stories we tell ourselves all influence who we are becoming. In a culture that constantly seeks to define our identity, priorities, and purpose, Jesus offers a different way. Through his teachings and example, Christ forms us into people who reflect God’s love, grace, wisdom, courage, humility, and light. Throughout this series, we will explore how following Jesus shapes every part of our lives and invites us into a deeper relationship with God and others. “Formed” is an invitation to consider: Who’s Shaping Your Life? Download this Study and Prayer Guide, for both small groups and personal use. The guide includes weekly Scripture readings, reflection questions, prayer practices, and opportunities to continue exploring how Christ is shaping us throughout the week. Join us on Sundays at 9 am in the Sanctuary for our Traditional service and 11 am in The New Room for Cross Connect, our Contemporary service.
