‘Seven Last Words’ Posters Offered Artistic Delight During Lent

The theme for our Lenten season was “Seven Last Words,” which commemorated Jesus’ final words on the cross. Throughout the season, our sermons and music illustrated those seven words. We were also blessed to have beautiful art adorn the sanctuary each week depicting that week’s word. If you were not able to attend worship each Sunday during Lent or worship with us online, you might have missed one or a few posters, so we wanted to share them here. We had several small groups volunteer to color posters, and we are SO grateful! Thank you to Director of Spiritual Formation Rebecca Guzman for coordinating this project!

Foundation Staked for Columbarium

Stanford Construction Services recently staked the area where the Columbarium will be located between the Chapel building and Sanctuary. Stanford will be building the foundation in preparation for the installation for the Columbarium wall later this spring.

Alleluia! He is RISEN!

What a joyous Easter Sunday! Thank you to all who worshiped with us. We are so thankful for our church family and friends and were blessed to celebrate the Resurrection with you.
