Top Five, September 25, 2026
Dear Partner in Ministry, 
This is not
the age of information.
This is not
the age of information.
Forget the news,
and the radio,
and the blurred screen.
This is the time of loaves
and fishes.
People are hungry,
and one good word is bread
for a thousand.
 -- David Whyte, from The House of Belonging
We began the church program year with a focus on the Good Word. This Sunday we begin a new rhythm of education with the focus on scripture. Every age group from children through adults will be studying the text that is the focus on the morning's sermon. We hope that by studying the same text we will create more opportunities to knit the congregation together and invite you into the morning's worship more deeply. Mostly, we hope that you will experience God's Word as nourishing bread for your own journey.

Peace, 
Jessica
