with an open seat for all to gather, worship, and respond to Christ’s urgent call to address the hunger of God’s people with action, love, justice, and mercy.

April 19 - Volunteer Appreciation Sunday
Every act of service-every greeting, every meal prepared, every prayer offered, every behind‑the‑scenes task-quietly transforms our community. On Volunteer Appreciation Sunday, we get to shine a little light on the people whose faithfulness helps make our church feel like home. We’re reminded that the body of Christ is woven together through shared gifts, shared compassion, and shared purpose. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling; it’s a spiritual practice that helps us see God’s work in one another.
So here it is, loud and clear: We can’t do this without you, and we want to celebrate you.
Join us for worship on Sunday, April 19, and stay for a thank‑you lunch immediately after the service. No RSVP needed-just come and let us honor the ways you serve.

We often tell children—and ourselves—to “listen to your bodies.” (Parents: have you said to your preteen standing in front of the open fridge, “Listen to your bodies! Are you actually hungry, or are you just bored?”)
That line came back to me as I revisited the Emmaus story. After the risen Christ vanishes from their table, the disciples turn to each other and say, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road?” We usually hear that as a spiritual awakening, but it’s also strikingly physical. Their bodies recognize resurrection before their minds do.
This Sunday, we’ll explore how Easter faith often begins that way—with a stirring, a burning heart, an embodied nudge that opens our eyes to Christ walking beside us.
