Malaise is defined a “a vague sense of mental or moral ill-being or lack of health.”  It seems to me that our country is in a sort of malaise as we sit in an uneasy place awaiting closure of the elections of Tuesday, November 3rd.  Not only are waiting to see who finally is declared the ‘winner,’ but we are not sure what to anticipate…

Dear Quest, This is wisdom from a trusted leader in the Christian community that is worthy of our attention and consideration.  I would encourage you to read this letter for yourself.

I want to take this chance to follow up on last Sunday’s announcement concerning a (temporary) outdoor venue that we have built that has affectionately become known as “The Pit”.  In its simplest form, it’s a fire pit surrounded by some benches, flanked by a couple of picnic tables and a BBQ / Smoker.   However, “The Pit” is actually a lot…

An update on all things Quest from Kevin, what to expect come October and where you can plug in to get involved and join the team!

Dear Quest, We obviously live in unique, unprecedented, tumultuous and unsettling times.  Trust and peace are not in great supply.  Conflict and scheming swirl around us.  So, what are we to do?  What we believe about God will guide us in our response.  Recently I ran across a short document I wrote in 2016 that I had totally forgotten about.  As I…

We’ve already talked about a couple of Bible studies that are happening this fall. There is a men’s study on Wednesday mornings as well as a women’s study on Tuesday nights. However, if these two days and times don’t work for your schedule, we have another option that we have termed BLTs… Belong, Learn, Transform. These are mid-sized groups that meet twice…
