Global Awareness Week (GAW) begins on Sunday, November 15th. This year’s theme is Building Gospel Bridges. In Matthew 5:9, Jesus doesn’t mince words. “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called children of God.” Jesus invites us to work for peace, to be a community of faith that builds gospel bridges with our neighbors near and far. Throughout this week we will be turning our attention beyond our local experience and catching a greater glimpse of how God is still sovereignly at work in the world, in the midst of a global pandemic. Below are some ways you can participate in this special week.
Guest Speaker Nikki Toyama-Szeto
During our worship services on November 15 we’ll hear from guest preacher Nikki Toyama-Szeto, Executive Director of Christians for Social Action. You can join us onsite or watch live online.

During the weeks leading up to Easter, we’re going to learn five simple practices that can help us bless those in our spheres of influence—friends, relatives,…
Two thousand years ago, an itinerant preacher climbed to the top of a hill and hundreds of people followed him to hear what would become the most famous speech ever written.

His listeners could not only have a taste of this kind of life- they could have everything that is good. And two thousand years…

Wonder meets us under a starry sky, in the hush of a quiet snowfall or the glow of glittering lights. It beckons from under decorated trees and across a family table. Surprise, curiosity, and joy: can these gifts really last? What do they mean? What will you find, if you follow the wonder? CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICES Tuesday, December 24th4:30PM &…
