Hello Church!

 

As the blooms of spring stretch toward the sun, we find ourselves wrapping up a meaningful season of reflection and renewal. 

 

We also have wrapped up a couple of ministry opportunities like our first year of Faithful Connections and our Circuit Birthday Kit Challenge. 

 

I want to thank everyone for helping make this first year of Faithful Connections such a success!  

 

Also, a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped with our birthday kits! Together we made 103 kits and as a circuit we made 435 kits that will be handed out at local food pantries. 

 

As I reflect on the past weeks of our Everything In Between sermon series has walked us through the sacred spaces between grief and hope, doubt and faith, sorrow and joy. We've laughed, cried, and grown together — trusting that God meets us right where we are: in the in-between.

 

But now, we're stepping forward.

 

Beginning in May, we enter a new sermon series designed to carry us into the next chapter of our journey together. Together we will be Stepping Into different places that our faith calls us—into community, into calling, into deeper relationship with God and one another. As the Easter season continues, we remember that resurrection is not just a moment—it's a movement. We see this movement as we take time to remember our Wesleyan heritage, celebrate our graduates and mothers, and feel the Holy Spirit fire move through us! In the season of Easter, we're not just celebrating that Jesus rose; we're discovering how His rising calls us to rise as well. 

 

 My hope is that this season of Easter we can step in together—toward what God has next.

 

May you find the beauty of God's calling,  purpose, and grace in your everyday life.

 

God Bless,

 

Jess
