Current Sermon Series

God gave us all our emotions- and whether or not you've seen Disney's Inside Out, you can probably relate to feeling like your own anger, fear, sadness, envy, or anxiety are taking over your head. How can we keep joy at the center? How can we be mindful of what all our emotions can do for us, as God intended them? Join us for our Fall sermon series, Inside Out, as we discuss what scripture, tradition, reason, and people's lived experiences of these big feelings have to teach us!
