Extending the Table
SCRIPTURE: Luke 18:9–14; John 17:21
This series focuses on Holy Communion and the biblical theme of shared meals. When we break bread together, whether at the family dinner table or at the Lord’s table, we share in fellowship and love with God and with one another. Over these four weeks, we move from setting the table to inviting guests, blessing the meal and extending the table.
When we come together at tables with friends and family, we feel deeper connections and we create memories that last well beyond the dinner party. When we come together at this Table of Jesus, the connections we are called to make extend beyond this time and place — beyond this table — to include a connection to the needs of a hurting world. Because we have been invited, blessed and loved here, we too must invite, bless and love the world into connection and wholeness. This final service of the series focuses us on the last part of the Great Thanksgiving prayer that asks God to “make us one with each other and one in ministry to all the world.”
9:30 am – Live and Online Worship in the Sanctuary
10:30 am – Friendship Time
Notice: Due to a lack of heat in the sanctuary, today’s service was held in the fellowship hall. Because of this, we were not able to record or stream the service.

Sunday, November 2, 2025 – All Saints Sunday
Love Increasing
SCRIPTURE: 2 Thessalonians 1: 1-4, 11-12
All Saints Sunday is one of the most precious in the life of a community of faith. It is an opportunity to
celebrate beloved members of the church and to acknowledge a worldwide connection with those who
claim the name of Christ. This standalone worship theme invites us to bear witness in the name of those who have gone before by standing firm in the faith and growing in love and discipleship. We give thanks to the saints we revere by living as saints in the world today.
