Message SlidesApologetics CardHow to Hear God - Pete GreigDealing with Defectors - SwindollImperatives in Jude - WilsonJude for Believers - Doug MooContending for the Faith - Chris GreenIntroduction: Confidence and Curiosity as the Best DefenseRemember(Don't be Surprised by the Presence of False Teachers.)• Warning: False teachers were predicted by the apostles (17-18).• Wayward: False teachers are divisive, immoral unbelievers (19).Grow(Deepen Your Relational Connection to God.)• Stay: Keep yourself in the love of God (by. . .) (21a).- Stretch: Building yourself up in the faith (20a).- Stand: Praying in the Holy Spirit (20b).- Steady: Waiting for God's mercy to bring you to eternal life (21b).Help(Assist Others who Struggle.)• Stage #1: Be merciful to doubters (22).• Stage #2: Rescue those in danger (23a).• Stage #3: Show mercy & fear to those on the verge of falling (23b).Contend for the Faith byCultivating Personal and Corporate HolinessWhile Extending Compassionate Rescueto those affected by False Teaching.How to Hear God: A Simple Guide for Normal People (2022) is a practical, accessible guide to developing a real conversational relationship with God. Framed around the Emmaus Road story in Luke 24—where the risen Jesus walks and talks with two discouraged disciples—Greig shows how God speaks through both His Word (Scripture, prayer, prophecy, and Jesus Himself ) and His Whisper (dreams, community, creation, culture, and the still small voice). Blending evangelical, charismatic, and contemplative traditions (including lectio divina), the book equips “normal people” with honest wisdom, personal stories, and tools to discern God's voice amid life's noise, turning monologue prayers into genuine dialogue. [N.B. Pete is a little more charismatic than I am but in a healthy way.]But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves upin this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit,staying right at the center of God's love,keeping your arms open and outstretched,ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ.This is the unending life, the real life! The Message The Most Important Verses of JudeVerses 17-23 are the most important in the letter of Jude. It is herethat Jude spells out just how he wants his readers to pursue the purposefor which he has written the letter: that they “contend for the faith once for all, and trusted tothe saints” (v.3). Jude specifies three things that his readers need to do: remember the apostolicwarnings about the heretics (vv. 17-19); Secure their own faith (vv. 20-21); and reach out torescue people in danger (vv.22-23). His exhortation is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago.

On the Diocese of St. Cloud's Speaking of Faith podcast, we learn about Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) from Reyne Alishouse, parishioner at St. Lawrence in Duelm, former catholic school teacher and current homeschool mom and a CGS Level 1 catechist. CGS is a Catholic, Montessori-style, hands-on faith formation held in an "atrium." Reyne explains how the child-centered, quiet space uses Scripture, prayerful "work" and carefully designed materials to help children — ages 3–12 across three levels — encounter Jesus as the Good Shepherd, learn the Mass, parables, and salvation history and develop calmness and deep understanding. With the host, Amber, Reyne discusses parents' growing interest, the need for trained catechists, and an upcoming Level 1 training at St. Mary's Cathedral in St. Cloud, August 10–15. You can find more information about CGS at their national website and more about the upcoming trainings at The Wonderings of Sheep in the Atrium.

Talk about varied - we go from a ‘posh banana' Brazilian carnival in a bottle Nicola experienced at a vibrantly fun perfume pop-up in Liberty, to an extraordinary, burning, bloodied rose Suzy's entranced by (don't worry - it's not as scary as it sounds!)We're also featuring two incredibly inspirational women on this week's show - one who's created her own fragrance brand to reflect a life lived in scent and adventure, and another who's bringing the playfulness back into perfumery by allowing you (and your friends) to attend a blending workshop via Zoom - to create your own fragrance with her stunning and easy-to-use accords. A whole group of the #fragfam (Suzy, Nicola, Jo, Alice du Parcq, Amanda Carr, Thomas & Hayden attended a Zoom, and we were HUGELY impressed, plus love the scents we blended!)Amidst all of that there's talk of a naughty Toy Boy who's back in town, and Suzy finds two exquisite (and very affordable) iris-forward fragrances for a listener.Plus: get the second issue of On The Scent magazine which has just been published and is already flying out again!

Do see it in-person if you can. They say: ‘Evoking the tropical vibrance of Brazil in olfactive form, Yes, Nós Temos Banana! eau de parfum from Granado is an invigorating addition to any fragrance collection.Anchored by a classic, woody base of sandalwood and cedar, this fragrance combines vibrant notes of banana and peach blossom with the romantic delicacy of fig and iris, while highlighting banana leaf as the protagonist of the creation - spritz onto skin for a breath of escapism.'L'Entropiste Ensang Noir[From Sainte Cellier] ‘This rose is on fire… Ensang Noir is an extraordinarily pungent rose perfume, sanguineous red petals stained with black ink, rusted at the bleeding edges. A scent of temptation, danger and the ritualistic fumes of burnt love. Fanatical, obsessive. Skin becomes an altar for this most plush and smoky offering.'Top Notes: aldehydes, blackcurrant, coriander, cucumberHeart Notes: red rose, magnolia, peonyBase Notes: incense, birch, opoponax, patchouli, vetiver, caramelMoschino ToyBoy 2‘Moschino's celebrated fragrance for him is back!

It wraps you in a warm embrace of intense coffee, while akigalawood adds a bold touch. As the adventure continues, it leaves behind a soft trail of myrrh and vetiver, comforting you and promising even more surprises.'Top notessaffron accord, nutmeg Indonesia, fresh gingerHeart notescoffee extract, cedarwood, akigalawoodBase notescistus concrete, vetiver oul, myrrh resinoidLiz Astor Fragrances‘Three perfumes, three chapters of a life lived through fragrance.From an English garden to distant horizons and star-filled nights — each captures a moment in Liz Astor's journey: where she began, where she wandered, and what she became.'HETHERSETT‘Hethersett is a return to origin — a chypre–fruity fragrance that feels like sunlight through orchard branches and summer gardens in full bloom.

It is absolutely mouthwatering and Suzy's prose is exquisite - I MUST read more! I am also eager for a perfume prescription for an affordable ($100 or under) very iris-forward fragrance. I'm accustomed to seeing iris perfumes raved about online, but they tend to be quite pricy. However, I recently blind-bought Zara's Romance d'Iris Elixir, which is almost an iris soliflore and about $70, and I fell head-over-heels in love! I know that iris is a note in many fragrances, both expensive and inexpensive, but in my (admittedly limited!) experience it's usually quite subtle. Surely there must be other affordable super-iris-y perfumes out there? (They needn't smell only of iris, but I'd like that to be the dominant note.) Thank you! :)Suzy suggested:Fragonard Belle de ParisComposed by Daniela Andrier (of Prada Infusion d'Iris fame!) here,;lbase notes are Musk and White Cedar Extract.‘Belle de Paris is elegantly cloaked in iris, a symbol of chic, and wears its incomparable scent.Its fruity head notes of green mandarin, neroli, and pear brighten a generous heart of iris absolute adornedwith violet and incense.

It has a powdery feel reminiscent of early 20th Century perfumes, because we both love the violet-iris texture and aroma created by ionones and irones, including those from natural orris (slightly extravagant but worth every penny). Among the many materials assembled here to create a completely new scent, we have a smidgen of natural rose, a fair quantity of Cashmeran, woods, sparkly orange flower, bergamot, creamy ethyl vanillin and layers of musks.'£35 for 15ml eau de toilette

They discuss the challenges these patients face postoperatively, including the mortality rate associated with reoperations. The conversation also highlights the significance of employing a heart team approach for these patients, emphasizing the importance of preoperative planning and the application of TAVR, which is potentially suitable for these patients. Furthermore, they touch upon topics such as mechanical valves, porcelain aorta, and the importance of conducting careful operations on these patients. Joel also highlights recent JANS articles on in vivo base editing of PCSK9 with VERVE-102 for hypercholesterolemia, defining high-volume centers using prospective data for valve-sparing aortic root replacement, insights from the Netherlands Heart Registration on surgical care for rheumatic heart disease patients, and a cohort study on surgical techniques and outcome analysis of non-intubated uniportal VATS sleeve lobectomy. In addition, Joel explores a step-by-step technique for a minimally invasive Bentall procedure via right axillary access, the repair of an anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery via direct coronary transfer, and an episode of The Atrium podcast featuring host Dr. Alice Copperwheat speaking with Dr. Husam Balkhy about multi-spectrum robotic cardiac surgery.

What does it actually look like to run a $1 billion mortgage portfolio with a team of 40? Phil Fiuza, Managing Director of Single Family at Atrium MIC, pulls back the curtain on one of Canada's largest and only publicly traded mortgage investment corporations.Phil started his career in 1988, right as real estate peaked and crashed, and has spent 30+ years learning how to survive every cycle.

This episode is one from the archives where I'm joined by Emma and Eleanor, founders of The Reconnected, to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of healing: the nervous system.This conversation was recorded when What Heals was Raw Health Rebel Podcast, but in many ways it feels even more relevant now.We talk about parenting, trauma, breathwork, connected play and why so many of us spend years trying to heal our children whilst completely neglecting ourselves.Emma and Eleanor share how they came to this work, why they believe the parent's nervous system is central to the wellbeing of the whole family, and how healing ourselves can create profound shifts in those around us.We also explore why parenting can be so triggering, what our children may be reflecting back to us, and how conscious connection can transform family relationships.This is not about becoming a perfect parent. It is about understanding that healing is relational, that our bodies remember more than we consciously realise, and that there are simple, powerful ways to reconnect with ourselves and our children.If you've ever felt burnt out, overwhelmed by parenting, curious about nervous system healing, or wondered why your child seems to trigger every unresolved part of you, this is a conversation worth listening to.Key takeawaysWhy the parent's nervous system matters so muchHow breathwork can support emotional healing and regulationThe difference between intellectual understanding and nervous system healingWhy parenting can be one of life's greatest catalysts for growthHow our bodies hold experiences, even when we can't consciously remember themWhy healing ourselves often creates change in our childrenThe importance of co-regulation within familiesHow connected play can deepen understanding between parent and childWe also talk aboutConscious parenting and family healingStrong-willed and sensitive childrenWhy modern parenting can feel so overwhelmingThe limitations of talk therapy for some peopleStored stress, trauma and the nervous systemHow children communicate through playWhy children need to feel truly seenThe connection between parenting, self-awareness and healingHow community supports nervous system healingResources mentionedThe Reconnectedhttps://www.thereconnected.com/The Reconnected on InstagramSend us Fan MailJoin Lisa's new global homeopathy community, The Atrium, here.

This episode is one from the archives where I'm joined by homeopaths and Family Constellations facilitators Poppy Altmann and Naphia Reggiani, alongside my friend and colleague Monique Carmen.This conversation was recorded when What Heals was Raw Health Rebel Podcast, shortly after I attended my first Family Constellations workshop and came away completely blown open.We go into one of the most fascinating areas of healing. Family systems and inherited trauma. The patterns we carry without even realising they may not have started with us.Poppy and Naphia explain what Family Constellations are, how the work began, what actually happens in a workshop and why simply seeing what has been hidden can sometimes create a profound shift.This is not about blame or endlessly analysing the past. It is about looking at the wider systems we belong to, and asking whether healing sometimes begins when we give something its rightful place.If you've ever felt stuck in a repeating pattern, sensed there was something deeper moving through your family line, or been curious about Family Constellations, this is a conversation worth listening to.Key takeawaysWhat Family Constellations are and how they workInherited trauma and hidden family dynamicsWhy previous generations may still influence the presentThe role of the ‘knowing field'How healing can happen even as a participantBelonging, order and inclusion within family systemsThe connection between Family Constellations and homeopathyWe also talk aboutBert Hellinger and the origins of the workRepresenting family members in a constellationWhy sceptics can still have powerful experiencesHealth constellations and chronic illnessRelationships, money and work patternsThe Netflix series Another SelfWhy group work can feel surprisingly safeResources mentionedPoppy Altmannhttps://www.poppyaltmann.com/Naphia Reggianihttps://naphiareggiani.co.uk/Barbara Morgan – Coming Home: A First Step into the World of Family ConstellationsNetflix: Another Self Send us Fan MailJoin Lisa's new global homeopathy community, The Atrium, here.

Christians ofevery age have had to contend with the danger of ungodly unbelieversinfiltrating and affecting the Christian community. Jude mixes togetherreassuring theological affirmations of God's love and power with pointedlypoetic attacks on ungodliness and wise practical instructions regarding whatbelievers are to do when they find themselves in such situations. Jim SamraThe Purpose of JudeJude wants his readers to understand who his opponents are, the ecologicaljudgment toward which they are moving, and, by implication, what willhappen to Christians who fall prey to their deceptions. He also gives hisreaders a threefold strategy for coping with the false teachers in the present.• Build yourself up in the most holy faith (v.20a).• Pray in the Holy Spirit (v.20b)• Keep yourself in God's love (v. 21a) Jude builds the strategy on the hope that not only can his readers avoidfalling prey to the false teaching, but that they can rescue other—includingthe false teachers themselves—who are already in its grasp. Frank ThielmanUPG FOCUS: The Yao in Malawi The Yao are a large people group in southeastern Africa, primarily living in Malawi, where most are subsistence farmers and fishermen. Though they identify as Muslim, many blend Islamic practices with traditional spiritual beliefs, creating strong spiritual barriers to the gospel. Despite having Scripture and some outreach efforts, very few follow Christ and the community remains resistant. Pray for those barriers to be broken, for the Word of God to take root, and for a growing movement of believers among the Yao.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 05/24 29,133Giving For 05/31 19,095YTD Budget 1,661,538Giving 1,930,553 OVER/(UNDER) 269,015Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, June 14, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

This episode is one from the archives where I'm joined by Ashley Frager — homeopathic practitioner with a deep interest in environmental health, non-toxic living and the role of maintaining causes in chronic illness.This conversation was recorded when What Heals was Raw Health Rebel Podcast, but in many ways it feels even more relevant now.We go into one of the most overlooked pieces in healing. Environment. Toxic load. Fragrance. Household products. Why some symptoms keep returning. And what happens when the body is still being exposed to something it cannot tolerate.Ashley shares her extraordinary health story, from becoming severely unwell in her early twenties to discovering constitutional homeopathy and completely changing the trajectory of her life.We talk about how she moved into homeopathic practice, why she became so interested in the everyday products people were using in their homes and how maintaining causes can quietly block progress.This is not about fear or perfection. It's about asking a deeper question: what conditions are we asking the body to heal in?If you've ever felt stuck in a case, wondered why symptoms keep returning, or been curious about the link between homeopathy and environmental load, this is a conversation worth listening to.Key takeawaysWhy maintaining causes can stop healing from holdingEnvironmental toxins, fragrance and household productsConstitutional homeopathy and Ashley's personal healing storyWhy some symptoms may be warning signs rather than the real problemThe importance of looking beyond diagnosis and into the whole personWhy “clean” or “natural” products are not always as clean as they appearHow everyday exposures may quietly add to the body's burdenWhy laundry detergent and air fresheners are often a good place to startWe also talk aboutPANS, PANDAS and the pressure to chase a diagnosisWhy homeopathy does not prescribe by diagnosis aloneBioenergetic testing and Ashley's clinical observationsThe “fragrance loophole” and why scent can be so pervasiveGreenwashing in non-toxic productsThe difference between sensitivity and the body's warning systemSymptom suppression and why rashes may matterThe frustration of treating while the obstacle remainsWhy healing sometimes requires changing the environment tooSend us Fan MailJoin Lisa's new global homeopathy community, The Atrium, here.

We're back with another Real Brides episode! Alexis and Shannon share the real stories behind their wedding days—from meaningful family moments to letting go of perfection and truly enjoying the experience. With two completely different wedding styles, this episode gives a refreshing look at what actually matters when the big day arrives.Alexis shares her July 2025 waterfront wedding at the Roostertail in Detroit, including how she handled extreme heat, why getting ready at her childhood home made the day more meaningful, and the quiet moment she shared with her dad before walking down the aisle. She talks about planning around a holiday weekend, skipping hotel blocks and shuttles, and how small custom details—like sewing a piece of her mom's dress into her gown—made everything feel all that much more personal!Shannon walks us through her January 2026 winter wedding at St. John's Resort (the Atrium), where snowfall right before the ceremony created a magical atmosphere. She shares why she skipped traditional bridesmaids, how she hosted a relaxed and joyful getting-ready morning with 20+ friends, and what it looked like to release control during planning. Shannon also opens up about decision fatigue, trusting vendors, and the surprising truth about what actually mattered on her wedding day!Shannon's makeup artist: Andrea Fontana Beauty: www.andreafontanabeauty.comWhat you'll walk away with:How to simplify your wedding day logistics (and what you can skip entirely) Creative ways to make your wedding more personal and meaningful A fresh perspective on bridal parties and getting-ready experiences Why letting go of perfection leads to a better wedding day What truly matters once the day finally arrivesIf you have questions for Sarah to answer, send an email to hello@sarahkolis.comConnect with Sarah: Website: https://sarahkolis.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/sarahkolisdesigns/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbh7HlVmyj9N5VsleuySxcQ
From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Alight-a-WhirlIt's Art-a-Whirl weekend! The Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (NEMAA) puts on the annual celebration of all things local art, with three days of open studios, live events, music and food vendors. Hours are Friday 5-8 p.m., Saturday 12–8 p.m. and Sunday 12–5 p.m.It's a favorite event for Molly Reopelle, a muralist who works under the name “Made by Molly Jo.” One space she's particularly looking forward to seeing is Alight-a-Whirl, an annual art sale fundraiser for Alight. The nonprofit supports displaced people and refugees in the U.S. and across the world.Alight-a-Whirl features a 500-piece art sale with work by local, international and refugee artists, as well as pop-up events, including a Friday happy hour and portrait painting. All profits from the art sale support Alight.Molly says: One of the people I'll be looking at [at Alight-a-Whirl] is Lora Hlavsa. She might be recognizable because she developed the artwork with NEMAA for the Art-a-Whirl branding this year, and she's got a really cool new series called The People's Pantry, which is using really familiar objects like foods and pantry staples to explore some of her lived experience and then reflect on migration and cultural access.— Molly ReopelleGender Joy Art ShowJenn Watters in Duluth recommends seeing the annual Gender Joy Art Show, whose creative works are expressions of joy made by female and gender expansive people of all ages. The exhibit is put on this year by the YWCA of Duluth and the Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault (PAVSA), and the show will include work created by PAVSA's weekly art group. New this year is an interactive art exhibit entitled “The Elephant in the Room,” hosted by Rachel Gilbertson of Art of Presence. Visitors to the exhibit are encouraged to write words or phrases they've received that were harmful to their gender identity, which Gilbertson will transform into a brightly colored work with an elephant's face emerging from the chaos. The exhibition runs until June 27 in the Atrium of Zeitgeist in Duluth.Watters who particularly enjoys seeing the work created by children.Jenn says: This is one of my favorite art shows each year.— Jenn WattersOne Subject PressDeborah Keenan, a Twin Cities poet and former longtime teacher at Hamline's MFA program, is trumpeting the work of former student Zach Czaia, who runs One Subject Press. A year ago, Czaia bought a Chicago-based press and moved it to Minneapolis, through which he publishes a wide range of work from poetry to fiction to theology. On Friday, May 15, the press will celebrate its one-year anniversary with an evening of literary readings and food. Czaia will read, along with poets Greg Watson and Suzanne Swanson, and attendees are invited to bring a poem to share. The event runs from 6-8 p.m. at Inkwell Booksellers in northeast Minneapolis. It is open to the public, though registration is requested through the press.Deborah says: It's called One Subject Press after a Richard Rodriguez quote: “There is only one subject: what it feels like to be alive. Nothing is irrelevant. Nothing is typical.” That's the flag Zach carries into battle, and it's a great flag.I think lots of people who love poetry and essays should absolutely show up [to this event.]— Deborah Keenan

Think about a time in your life when you experienced significant spiritual growth. What were some of the key elements that led to your growth?Our Passive Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:1-4)2. What does it mean that God “has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness” (1:3)? Does this mean we don't need any outside resources like books or other people? How would you explain this?3. One way we grow and become “partakers of the divine nature” is by hearing and believing His “precious and very great promises” (1:4). What promises has God made that encourage you most? 4. What are some practical ways we can make sure we continue believing and trusting so we keep growing in Christ? Our Active Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:5-11)5. Peter mentions eight characteristics in vv. 5-7. We are supposed to “make every effort” to grow in these areas. In which of these areas do you need to grow?6. In v.8 we learn we should be “increasing” in these eight areas and in our spiritual growth. Are you in a season of spiritual growth right now? If not, what next steps can you take?7. Do you tend to emphasize the active role or the passive role in your spiritual growth? Which aspect needs some extra attention right now?

CarsonThe Secret to Preparing for Suffering - Kristin Wetherrell4 Reasons to be of Good Courage in Suffering - Kristin WetherrellDon't Peter Out - Swindoll6 Pillars of a Christian View on Suffering - D.A. CarsonStott on Suffering and Glory in the Cross - John StottINTRODUCTION: All Scripture is ProfitableA Final Perspective on SufferingChristian suffering is temporary and purposeful.• Temporary: Your suffering will not last forever. (5:10a).• Sovereign: Our gracious God has a long term plan for our glory (5:10b).• Purposeful: God uses suffering to restore, establish, strengthen, & ground us (5:10c).• Praise - God's sovereign purpose and grace prompt our praise (5:11).A Final Perspective on Partners and PeaceGod's grace is where we stand when times are tough.• The Letter: A message about the true grace of God (5:12a).• The Exhortation: Stand firm on the foundation of God's grace in suffering (5:12b).• The Greetings: Partners in ministry care for one another (5:13).• The Benediction: Be affectionate and rest in the peace of God (5:14).In the final analysis, when Christians sufferthey can trust that God is sovereign, suffering grows us,and God' grace is sufficient for everything we experience.Suffering SpeaksBut pain insists upon being attended to.God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience,but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. C.S. Lewis (The Problem of Pain)Home Church Questions1. Temporary SufferingPeter says that we “suffer for a little while.” Share a story or two of people whose suffering puts your own suffering in perspective as “for a little while.” Think about missionaries in persecuted areas who live theirwhole lives under threat, or someone like Joni Eareckson Tada, who has walked faithfully with the Lord for 76 years now, almost 60 of those years as a quadriplegic.2. Restored, Established, Strengthened and GroundedGod has a purpose for our suffering, and it is not always to alleviate it. How has God used suffering in your life to accomplish the purposes set forth in this passage? How have you been equipped, solidified, bolstered,and grounded?3. To Him be the “power” forever, Amen.Usually, we would expect the word “glory” where we read “power” or “dominion.” Why is “power” appropriate? Karen Jobes claims that God's eternal might “makes Roman glory look like a withered flower.”When have you experienced this?4. Stand Fast in the True Grace of God.Peter says his purpose was to encourage his readers. Have you been encouraged by this book? How? How do we “Stand fast in the true grace of God?”5. A Final Look Back:As we finish the book of 1 Peter, think back over the messages and flip through the passages. What encouragements have you taken with you? In what way does 1 Peter provide a unique message that you need?UPG FOCUS: The Amma Kenanga in India The Amma Kodaga are a small Hindu people group living in the hilly regions of southern India, where they farm crops like coffee and spices and live in close-knit, tradition-rich communities. Though the New Testament is available in their language, there are no known believers among them. Pray that they would be drawn to Jesus, that disciples would be raised up among them, and that workers would go to share the gospel.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/12 22,618Giving For 04/19 40,027YTD Budget 1,453,846Giving 1,776,190 OVER/(UNDER) 322,344 Easter OfferingAt Fellowship, we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a van can open doors for ministry—serving students, supporting outreach, and making it easier for people to connect and belong. For years, we've relied on rentals, but the need has been clear: having our own van would expand what's possible in powerful, practical ways. This is an opportunity to invest in something that will be used again and again to serve others. Every mile driven will represent lives reached, needs met, and community built. You can give online, or place a check or cash in an envelope by the baskets by any of the doors.New to Fellowship? We are so glad that you chose to worship with our Fellowship Family this morning. If you are joining us for the first time or have been checking us out for a few weeks, we are excited you are here and would love to meet you. Please fill out the “Connect Card” and bring it to the Connection Center in the Atrium, we would love to say “hi” and give you a gift.
