MEET GOD JOIN US ON YOUTUBE LIVE FOR SUNDAY SERVICE Like many of us, the writer of Psalm 27 knows trouble, as does Jesus when he is confronted by the Pharisees attempting to scare him into being quiet or, at the very least, getting out of town (Luke 13:31). Yet both the psalmist and Jesus do an odd thing when faced with threats: they stay the course. They refuse to be swallowed up and swayed by fear. Instead, they root themselves in God, whose steadfast love conceals and protects, whose love keeps their heads above water.    As a spiritual practice this Lent, each week we will have a song to reflect on.  This week you are invited to listen to “Head Above Water” by Avril Lavigne. As you listen, consider the storms in your life that you need God to protect you and sustain you through. Do you trust that God will take care of you through those storms?

MEET FRIENDS We had our first meeting on Sunday, February 9 and had a great discussion.  It is not to late to get reading!   Next meeting will be on Sunday March 2!  We are hoping to get another group started at The Station!  We would love to have you join us!  ​Here is the scan of The Bible Year for the first 18 days. Books are now available at the church! WHAT IS THE BIBLE YEAR?  The goal is to read the whole Bible in a year, but think about it in terms of smaller, daily goals. Think about a commitment to read a short selection from the Bible plus a concise devotional every day. You can do that – especially since The Bible Year has it all mapped out for you day by day. Plus, you’ll also get summaries of key themes and ideas to help you better digest and understand your readings. So you’re not just reading verse after verse, you’re enriching your spiritual life, developing a deeper faith and We will be having small groups to discuss The Bible Year so we will be growing a closer connection to God and to each other. Sign up at church, the Station or here MAKE LIFE BETTER All proceeds go to Women of Grace for quilting supplies and food for Hope Women's Center.  For the rest of March, We are collecting donations to help our siblings in Christ who are homeless. Please consider donating, you can bring things to the Church building or to the Station Coffee Co. on Sundays.  Join us on Monday, March 24 from 9-11am at the Tempe location to pack meals to help those in need!
