Pastor Glenn has begun a new study for the “Early Bird” Tuesday series class (5-6PM). We are now studying the book of Romans.

This post was originally published in 2014…
The cross hanging in the Narthex was once high upon our steeple overlooking the center of town. It stood as a visible symbol of our church until the building under it was destroyed by fire in 2003. As we consider our history, we look to the past to draw inspiration for the future.
Transform Yourself and the World (2/23/14)
This morning’s sermon was part 6 of a series of messages based on the book “The Wesleyan Way: A Faith that Matters.” The scripture underlying Pastor Kee’s message was Romans 12:9-21. Some years ago the New York City Police issued an All Points Bulletin… because a car was stolen. An APB for one car theft??? Cars are stolen every day in New York. But this one was special; not because of the car or owner, but because of what was left on the front seat. The owner reported that he had left a box of crackers… laced with rat...

The church’s Global Board of Discipleship recently sent out an email announcing a new Webinar which will occur on Thursday Feb. 27 (from 8-9PM our time).

You log in on Thursday night and listen to the presentation while exchanging comments with people from all over the country. It’s a great experience if you’ve never tried it (and it’s great if you HAVE tried it too!). If you miss...

This morning’s sermon was part 5 of a series of messages based on the book “The Wesleyan Way: A Faith that Matters.” The scripture underlying Pastor Larry’s message was Acts 2:1-21 (the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost). During this series, we’ve been exploring a journey- how do we get to a point where we truly “love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength?” It all happens through God’s grace, but we need to be aware of some of the “Means of Grace”...
read moreFaith that Matters Study (1/19/14)
In these opening months of 2014 before we enter the Lenten season, we have been taking a journey using the Scott Jones book: “The Wesleyan Way: A Faith that matters”. The journey takes place on two roads. First, we consider a topic from the book during the Sunday morning service. The sermon series applies elements of our faith journey in the light of scripture, and challenges us to deliberately use the grace and resources that God provides in order to grow more into His likeness and truly “love the Lord our God with...
