Two disciples of John inquire of Jesus as to where he is staying. Jesus invites them to “Come and see.” After sharing Jesus’ hospitality, Andrew, one of the disciples, declares that he has encountered God by saying “We have found the Messiah.” Please join us on Celebration Sunday as we explore how Jesus’ invitation is as relevant to us today as it was to his first disciples.

Please join us for our 11:00 a.m. worship service.

Sermon by The Rev. Dr. Glenn Chestnutt, “Come and See”

On Celebration Sunday we welcome and celebrate all our local service-agency partners – organizations that inspire us with all that they contribute to the community: shelters for the abused, food for the hungry, support for the forgotten, pastoral care for students, caring for children, parents and seniors, and much more. Come to Kildonan Hall and talk with representatives from our partner organizations to learn how to support and engage in the important work that each does in our urban community. Refreshments will be served.
