Jesus Calms the Storm ©Laura James, 1996 Used with permission

This week in worship, Pastor Julie preaches the message “Take Heart. God is Present. Don’t Be Afraid," based on Matthew 14:22-33, when Jesus meets Peter on the stormy sea. This Gospel story invites us to experience the Christ who loves us no matter what, who holds our lives, and will not let go. Accompanying scripture passages are Psalm 105:1-6 and Romans 10:5-15.

Our Chancel Choir continues their summer break through September 3. In their absence, soprano Kelly Curtin will serve as cantor and will sing The Lord is My Shepherd by Antonín Dvořák and Alleluia by W. A. Mozart.
