To Beautiful Savior, have an amazing Holy Week where God shatters all our delusions of control and instead shows us what true love looks like. So off to Jerusalem we go on a pathway of sacrificial suffering in hopes of truly understanding how God loves the world.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. (JFK)

A Palm Sunday poem

Now to the gate of my Jerusalem,

The seething holy city of my heart,

The saviour comes. But will I welcome him? .....

Welcome into our community today as we seek to follow the one who gathers us.
May you feel a connection to the beautiful Savior in worship this day! May you join us in Living in Grace, Love and Action.   

We gather in the unity of Christ and are all invited to the Lord’s Table. He is the host —we are all guests. We celebrate that Jesus came to us and continues to come to us.  In faith we receive the body and blood of our Lord and Savior. We believe that he did this “for you.” We welcome ALL to Communion for it is the Lord’s Table and Jesus’s gift of grace to the world.
