They can be board holders, saw users, nailers, levelers, material carriers, cold drink and snack bringers, and volunteers to get everyone to sign the walls. Please come for an hour or the whole time.

Summer of Renewal: Renewed Responsibility
Some of the most painful words in Scripture are spoken not in anger, but in indifference: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” This Sunday, as we continue our Summer of Renewal series, we’ll explore Genesis 4:1–10 alongside John 10 and reflect on what it means to be responsible for one another - not as a burden, but as a gift. In a world where it’s easier to look away, Jesus shows us a different way: the Good Shepherd who draws near, bears our burdens, and invites us to do the same for others. Forgiveness opens the door for the renewal of our relationships, and love steps through to carry what we cannot carry alone.
I am looking forward to being with you this Sunday!
Matt

Summer of Renewal: Renewed Relationships - Forgiveness: A Love Story w/ Steve Van Atta
We've all heard the cliches about forgiveness, such as "Forgive and forget," "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission," and "To err is human. To forgive, divine," words that serve to amplify the uncertainty and misunderstanding surrounding one of God's most important gifts. As we'll see this Sunday morning, asking for and receiving forgiveness produces love. Perhaps best of all, the love produced by forgiveness has the potential to renew our relationships.
It's a busy four days before we gather for worship Sunday, but if you can, take time to read Luke 7:36 to 50 and discover Jesus' brick-through-the-window teaching on the power of forgiveness. See you soon,
Steve
Youth Summer Hangout - Wood-Fired Pizza, Games, S’mores

All these events are open to middle and high school students. They’re low-pressure and full of opportunities to eat good food, laugh, and make new connections. Bring a friend, bring an appetite, and come hang out this summer!
Kick off the summer with custom wood-fired pizzas (you choose the toppings!), yard games, and a fire with s'mores to end the night.
Summer of Renewal: Renewed Family of Origin
This Sunday we begin a new movement in our Summer of Renewal series - shifting from the renewal of self to the renewal of our relationships. We’ll start where it all begins: our families of origin. These early bonds shape us in deep and lasting ways, and through the story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 50:15–21, we’ll reflect on how grace can meet us even in the most complicated of relationships. What might renewal look like in the story you come from?
Looking forward to being with you,
Matt

HSPC Service - Summer of Renewal: Step Out of the Cave, Dr. Jack Levison
A man of the Spirit. That’s what they called famed Old Testament prophet Elijah. So much so that when Elijah asked another prophet to send a message to King Ahab, that other prophet moaned, “The minute I leave you the Spirit of GOD will whisk you away to who knows where. Then when I report to Ahab, you’ll have disappeared and Ahab will kill me.” So much so, too, that Elijah’s protégé Elisha, just as Elijah was dying, pressed him, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.” Elijah was a person of the Spirit. Fiery in faith. Fierce in his devotion to Israel’s God. An enemy of the fickle, the faithless, the feckless.
That’s the Elijah we see on Mount Carmel, where he calls 400 prophets of Baal to a contest. Where he builds an altar, drenches it with water, and calls down fire from heaven. Where he boasts, “I alone am left!
But that is not the whole of Elijah’s story. So we’ll look, too, at Elijah on another mountain: Mt. Sinai, to which he retreats after his Mt. Carmel victory because Queen Jezebel threatened to kill him. There, on famed Mt. Sinai, Elijah cowers in a cave. Where he whines, “I alone am left!”
This Sunday’s sermon is a tale of two mountains. We’ll join Elijah on both mountains—and ask how durable our own faith is.

Summer of Renewal: Renewal of the Soul, Matt Myers
Last Sunday, we reflected on the renewal of the mind - how God reshapes our thinking and restores clarity in a world of noise and confusion. This week, we turn to the renewal of the soul. What does it mean to have a soul - and to lose it? Jesus once asked, “What does it profit a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” I think Jesus asks this not as a threat, but a tender wake-up call.
This Sunday, we’ll explore how the soul isn’t just a vague spiritual idea, but the living center of your life. And while it’s possible to feel like your soul has gone quiet or thin, the good news is that Jesus comes to awaken it again. He walks with us still, opening our eyes, rekindling our hearts, and gently gathering the scattered pieces of our lives. Come and be renewed with us this weekend.
