In Isaiah the one God who sits above the earth and numbers the stars also strengthens the powerless. So in Jesus’ healing work we see the hand of the creator God, lifting up the sick woman to health and service (diakonia). Like Simon’s mother-in-law, we are lifted up and healed to serve. Following Jesus, we strengthen the powerless; like Jesus, we seek to renew our own strength in quiet times of prayer.

Gather with us Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. for a time of reflective worship. Come as you are – bring your worries, joys, hopes, fears, exhaustion- all of it is welcome.
In song, prayer, silence, and scripture we’ll join together with one another and with creation as the day comes to a close.
We encourage you to have a candle with you to light during the service.
“The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it”.
