This Sunday in worship, we continue the second sabbatical series of the summer, “What Kind of Church?” This series asks three important questions: What is the universal church called to be? What kind of church makes God’s heart glad? What kind of church will make the strongest gospel impact in our fractured, anxious world?
The message this Sunday is “The Longing for Belonging” from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. Accompanying scripture passages are Psalm 24:1-6 and John 15:1-8.
We will welcome to the pulpit noted speaker and author Jonathan Merritt. Jonathan is an award-winning faith and culture writer who has published hundreds of articles in outlets such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, USA Today, The Washington Post, Buzzfeed and Christianity Today. He is the author of five critically-acclaimed books including Learning to Speak God from Scratch, named “Book of the Year” by Englewood Review.
Following worship this week, Jonathan hosted a book signing in the Narthex featuring his debut children’s book My Guncle and Me. You can purchase copies of My Guncle and Me or Jonathan’s book Speaking God from Scratch for on Amazon using the linked titles.
