Saturday, August 29 — Pastor David Bracetti New Series: Kingdom Culture Message: "Making Room for New People” James 2:1-9 Worship This Sabbath — August 29 Making Room for New People | James 2:1–9 Pastor David Bracetti James wrote to a congregation that had quietly decided who deserved the good seat. He doesn't call that a preference. He calls it sin. This message asks what a visitor actually experiences here — and what would have to change if the honest answer isn't what we'd hoped. Part of Kingdom Culture: Becoming the Church God Intended, a ten-week series on the values that shape a congregation where every member owns the mission.

Youth Church-August 29 Alternating Saturdays, approximately 11:30 a.m. Middle school and high school students | Led by Andrew Krivda While the main service continues in the sanctuary, our students gather to work through the same message the adults are hearing — in open discussion rather than lecture. Questions are the point. Students who show up with doubts are in exactly the right room. A leader announces the dismissal at the appropriate point in the service and students move to the youth room — the front left classroom off the sanctuary.

Walking or riding a bike? You're just as welcome — you don't need a car to receive food. There is no registration, no paperwork, and no documentation of any kind required. First come, first served, until the boxes are gone. We'll also ask if there's anything you'd like prayer for. If there is, we'll pull to the side and pray with you right then. If not, that's completely fine — the food is yours either way. If you would like to help Tuesday, September 8, 12:00 p.m. — Truck unloading. We need 2–3 people who can lift heavy boxes, for about 15–20 minutes. No sign-up required; just come to the church at noon.

Saturday, September 12, 2:00 p.m. — Packing begins. No experience needed. Prefer to go home after service and return at 2:00? That works too. Saturday, September 12, 4:00 p.m. — Distribution begins. Everyone is welcome — come pack, pray, and help make a difference. Sign-ups aren't required, but they help us plan. Food Distribution is held each month on the Saturday following the second Tuesday.
