It all begins with the beatitudes, those seven proclamations that many believe are the beating heart of the whole gospel. Join us on Sunday for worship at 10am where we’ll hear these words anew. The choir will be singing and special music will be offered by Janet Vaughn (flute) and Peter Owens (oboe) as well as Nancy Kneiss and Rev. Will. We hope you’ll join us.

Who is counted as blessed among us? Jesus reminds us that it has very little to do with personal wealth and security.  There are more abiding realities that determine our blessedness.
