Seeds of Change
Our Back-to-Fall Series marks the beginning of a new theme: It is Time Now, a line from the song We Shall Be Known by Mamuse. We are delighted to begin this new series and explore how scripture, visual art, and music might ground us in this current time in which we live. As a means of inspiration and spiritual grounding, you are invited to listen to this song which will be woven into worship beginning on September 13th. Click on the button to listen!
The image we’ve chosen to use to depict this series is Edvard Munch’s Sun, from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt University Divinity Library, Nashville, TN.
Events During Worship
Canned Food Collection
September 6th is the first Sunday of the month. Bring your cans and other food items for collection by the children during worship service. Water is always needed. In addition to the canned goods, fresh food and pet food is also collected. Pets are an important part of families. Friendly reminder that Inland Valley Hope Partner does not accept clothing or shoes.
Date / Time: Sunday, September 6th, 2026 | During Worship at 9:30 a.m.
Children’s “Noisy” Offering
On September 13th, the children of the church will be collecting their own offering. During the regular offering time, while the adult ushers are passing the plates, the children will come to you (like they do for the monthly food collection) to collect change in their metal cans.
While we expect the change to create some cheerful noise throughout the sanctuary, bills are also welcome!
Date / Time: Sunday, September 13th, 2026 | During Worship at 9:30 a.m.
