Lent & Easter 2025
Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith
Certainty is virtually impossible, and the Bible is full of people who doubt. Doubt is a path to deeper faith, yet if we hang onto doubt, it will paralyze us. So we look to deepen our faith by examining difficult questions, and we implore the prayer from Mark 9:24 - “Lord I believe, help my unbelief.”
We invite you to scroll through the special opportunities below and choose some that will help you experience the season more fully.
The Journey Youth Choir Christmas Greenery Sales
It's that time of year again! Time to order your fresh, beautiful, Sherwood Forest Farms holiday evergreens and support the annual Youth Choir Tour. Wreaths, centerpieces, and garlands will smell amazing and last all holiday season long.
How to order:
- Visit the table on the Concourse Oct 5, 12, 19, 26.
- Order online through Nov 2
- Order directly from a youth choir member
The greenery will be delivered to the church the first week in December for pick up, or you can choose to have it shipped directly to your house.
Thank you for supporting these amazing singers!
Coat and Toy Drive
Through Dec 8
The church at-large is invited to participate in Senior Adult Ministry's annual coat and toy drive. New and gently used coats in all sizes as well as new toys will be collected, organized, and distributed to Network of Community Ministries and other local agencies to meet the needs of adults, children, and youth.
Collection bins are located behind the Welcome Desk and in the Shawver Welcome Center.
