SUNDAY FORUM | 10:15 AM IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM | July 19, 2026
What Is Grace? Especially in Times of Loss
What does God's grace look like when we're grieving the loss of someone we love? How does His promise of grace bring comfort, hope, and strength during life's most difficult moments?
Join Pastor Rick and Jennifer Wasmer for a thoughtful conversation exploring God's grace and finding hope while navigating the journey of grief and loss.
Come be part of this meaningful discussion. Whether you are grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of God's grace, all are welcome.
HAPPY HOUR | JOIN US ON MONDAYS | 4:00 PM ET
We invite you to join us on July 20 at 4:00 PM ET on Zoom for a relaxed and engaging time of conversation and fellowship.
We’ll reflect on Sunday’s sermon, discuss “Testament: The Story of Moses. Episode 2, and share insights together in an informal and welcoming setting.
Pour yourself a glass of wine, or your favorite beverage, settle in, and join us as we learn, laugh, and grow in faith together. We’d love to have you with us!
THIS WEEK’S DEVOTION | Psalm 86 | reflecting our complete dependence on God's grace, mercy, and faithfulness
Join Pastor Bliese as he reads Psalm 86 and shares some of his insights for this week’s Psalm.
Psalm 86 is a prayer of humble trust. It reminds us that God is gracious, hears the prayers of His people, forgives sinners, and faithfully cares for those who call on Him. Rather than relying on our own strength or righteousness, we rest in God's mercy and the salvation He has given us through Christ.
Listen, reflect, and be encouraged by the God who forgives, provides, and fills our lives with grace.
BIBLE STUDY: Major Themes of the Bible | Thursdays at 10:30 AM
This series of big, beautiful biblical themes is meant to focus on important themes that run through the whole Bible from Old to New Testament. We will explore themes like “Wilderness,” Redemption,” “Salvation, and “The Exodus Way” and many more! We will use videos from the Bible Project to guide our discussions.
