We look forward to serving you for many years to come.   EQUIP CREATION | SPIRITUAL GROWTH Rooted and Established in Love—A Series for the Fall Season By Kathryn Ritsema Roelofs Using a tree as a metaphor, the series leads the congregation through the journey of God’s creation, the brokenness of humanity, redemption in Christ, and the call to mission. We have added a faith practice note for each service that can be adapted for bulletin notes, to prompt reflection time following the sermon, or for individuals, households, or small groups to discuss together. LEARN MORE   →   ADVENT | CHRISTMAS Greater Glory—An Advent and Christmas Series From Haggai By Benjamin P. Snoek This Reformed Worship series journeys through the book of Haggai and highlights four promises that God makes to God's covenant people—promises that are ultimately found and fulfilled in the arrival of Jesus. Jesus—the "Desire of All Nations” (Haggai 2:7 NKJV)—comes to show the world a greater vision for our lives, and God's Spirit guides our hearts and hands to wait with purpose and work with hope.
