We are a community
of believers in
Jesus Christ
trying to live
lives of faith
that glorify God.
We believe that being part of
Christ's
church
means loving
God with all our
heart, soul,
mind
and strength and loving
our neighbors as we love
ourselves.
We are
working to promote the peace
and
love of
Christ in our
community and around
the world.
We are a congregation made up of
people
from
diverse backgrounds,
holding a variety
of beliefs
and
opinions, and involved in
different
parts of our community.
We come together with a common faith
to
worship
God, and we invite
everyone to
bring their own
unique
talents, gifts and
wisdom
to these efforts.
For more information about our church and
specifics
about what we believe, see the About Us
page.

A Word From Our Minister
We stand at the
threshold of a New Year not knowing what the future holds.
This is nothing new of course. We never know what the future holds,
what good fortune may come our way or what misfortune may befall us.
With faith in the One who holds the future, we step through the door
into
2008—some of us stepping cautiously with our fingers crossed, others
joyously with hearts full of hope. I recently came across a poem by
Welsh
poet, Sheenagh Pugh, which offers me hope for the New Year.
Sometimes things
don’t go, after all,
from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel
faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don’t fail,
sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.
A people sometimes
will step back from war;
elect an honest man, decide they care
enough, that they can’t leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.
Sometimes our best
efforts do not go
amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow
that seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you.
This is my prayer
for 2008, that you and those you love will be healthy,
happy, and whole.
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Jimmy Only
