Welcome

So often we view life as what will one day be. Soon I'll have enough money for . . . if only I had enough time to . . . when I move to . . then I will . . . We spend so much time thinking about what could be, and what isn't, that we miss what is. Life is a journey. It is a process. Our journey is filled with adventure, boredom, tragedy - it is a story finding its way through life. Every church has its own journey. Our journey is painted with texture.

Hopefully, you will get a feel for who we are as a community by navigating this site. Please let us know if there is a way we can serve you.  

                                                                 Embracing the journey.

The following is a "deleted scene" from this week's message

Koinonos means 'a sharer' as in to share with one another in a possession held in common. It implies the spirit of generous sharing or the act of giving as contrasted with selfish getting. When koinonia is present, the spirit of sharing and giving becomes tangible. In most contexts, generosity is not an abstract ideal, but a demonstrable action resulting in a tangible and realistic expression of giving. - Unknown

Have you ever felt like you just can't change.  
You have tried, and it just won't last... that is because your "within" your spirit, your heart, has been shaped in ways you are unaware.  
There is much going on below the surface that you are not aware of.  
[Scene in National treasure, with Ben Franklin's glasses.  
The writing is there, just have to have the ability to see it]
My hope each time we gather is that God would allow me pass out new glasses each week.  That you might look at life through different lens.
And yet, even with that stewardship, there is much you simply cannot see. 

David understood this.
That is why he wrote in his journal, the Psalms, Search me, O God.... Let the meditations of my heart  be acceptable to you.... Renew in me a right spirit...

They saw and tasted.  Think about how we pass this taste... from person to person across the centuries... we are believers because of believers.  Look at this community we are connected to.
