This week, we’re answering the call to live in the deep, soul-freeing liberty that only Jesus offers. In a world that often feels heavy with burdens and expectations, Jesus invites us into a freedom that transforms us from the inside out. And just like fireworks on a summer night, our faith isn’t meant to be tucked away—it was made to shine. Join us as we explore how living boldly in Christ’s freedom can light up the darkness and point others to the God who loves without limits.

This week in worship, we’re returning to one of the most well-known and powerful stories of faith and fire: Moses and the burning bush (Exodus 3). Out in the wilderness, Moses saw a bush that burned but wasn’t consumed—and from that flame, God spoke. Moses was called by name, drawn near, and given purpose. It’s a story that still speaks to us today. Because the truth is: the bush is still burning. The Divine still shows up, still calls us close, and still invites us to listen and respond. Maybe not through literal flames, but through moments that stir our souls—unexpected nudges, quiet whispers, sacred reminders that we are not alone and we are not forgotten.

Fathers are the kings of the dad joke, the ones manning the grill at every cookout, the quiet protectors in the background, and the steady guides when life gets rough. They're not just providers—they're nurturers, teachers, and spiritual leaders. Whether coaching on the field or in faith, the impact they have echoes through generations. This service celebrates these incredible men. Jevon will be preaching both services as we honor their influence, their love, and their example—and above all, let’s lift our hearts in praise to our ultimate Father in Heaven, whose love never fails. "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." – Psalm 103:13 (NIV)

Pentecost shows up with wind and fire and holy chaos. It’s the day the Holy Spirit came rushing in and everything changed. People spoke in different languages. Doors were opened. Walls were broken down. And suddenly, a new kind of community was born.

That’s why we often call Pentecost the birthday of the Church. It’s the moment the disciples stopped waiting and started moving. It’s when the Church became alive—Spirit-led, diverse, bold, and beautifully messy.

And honestly? That’s the kind of Church I want to be part of!

Pentecost reminds us that the Church isn’t about being perfect or having it all figured out. It’s about showing up, being open to the Spirit, and welcoming everyone—with no exceptions! No matter who they are, where they’re from, or what they bring–Pentecost is radically inclusive. It’s timeless. And it’s powerful.

dive deeper into why communion is not just central to our worship—but vital to our witness. Because as we’re filled with Christ’s love at the table, we’re also sent from it—called to carry His love into a hungry, hurting world.

As we come to the table may we pray and live this prayer together: Jesus may I be Your hands, Your heart, Your hope in a world still hungry for You.

This week in worship, we invite you to reflect on the profound gift of baptism—a sacred milestone that signifies more than a moment; it marks the beginning of a lifelong journey with God. Whether you were baptized as a child with water gently poured over your head or as an adult through full immersion, this act is not defined by how or when it happened, but by what it means. Baptism is a visible sign of an invisible grace, a holy invitation into a life transformed by God's love. It may not always look like magic, but make no mistake—it always reflects a miracle. Join us as we celebrate the wonder, the promise, and the power of baptism in our lives.

This Sunday, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, we honor the mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures who have shaped our lives with strength, sacrifice, and boundless love. Our message, Blessed and Highly Exhausted, speaks to the beautiful tension many caregivers feel—overflowing with love while running on empty. But beyond the diapers, carpool lines, and late-night worries, motherhood offers us a glimpse into something even greater: the love of God. In Isaiah 66:13, God says, “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” The patience, forgiveness, and faithfulness we see in a mother’s love point us to the God who never gives up on us. This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate the people who care for us—and find rest in the One whose love restores us all.
