WORSHIP What's up with worship? What can be our boundaries and guidance in daily life? The Psalmists wrote about their daily lives. These prayers, songs, and poems reflect all of our human emotions in the day to day lives we live. If we were to begin to dig deeper into a prayer life or the discipline of conversation with God, what would that look like? How can the Psalms and their songs of joy, lament, anger, and longing help us find a connection with our Great God? The current sermon series, “Psalms: A Soundtrack for Summer” runs now through August 10. This week in worship...

Psalm 139:1-12; 23-24 Psalm of Refuge: Learning to rest in God’s Grace Who can protect me and truly know me in this crazy world? In the busy, chaotic lives we lead, how can we find a place of refuge and rest with you? Psalms of refuge help us to form prayers that give us peace in our daily lives.
