We are an Open and Affirming Church: We respect the worth and dignity of all persons who come into our church family regardless of their race, age, gender, nationality, marital standing, economic status, mental or physical challenges, or sexual orientation.

In Word:
Lessons are from I John 5:1-6 and the gospel of John 15:9-17.
The continuation of Jesus’ Farwell Discourse is undergirded by the evangelist’s teachings on Love. This is not a sentimental form of love.
The love God has for us, and that we are therefore to share with others, has sticking power – and teeth. The sermon is “Love Makes a . . .Family?”
