SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Tell me if this has ever happened to you: your in the middle of your day\, moving right along with your projects at work or at home\, when all of a sudden the power or the internet go out. Suddenly all of the momentum you had\, whether your project was binge watching your favorite TV series or trying to power through your to do list\, is lost and things come to a screeching halt! \nThose of you who are still sensible enough to live in the analog world are probably laughing at me right now\, but all of you digital world people know just want I’m talking about. We can feel so great about all that we can do in this world until the source of our productivity goes away. It is then that we are humbled and acknowledge just how dependent we are on sources of power that are external to ourselves. \nThis Sunday\, as we celebrate the Fourth of July\, we’ll have an opportunity to get real about the Source of our power and strength\, both as individuals and as a country. As we do\, we’ll come to find\, like Paul\, that our strength comes when we let the power of Christ flow in and through our lives. \nJoin us as our community of faith gathers for worship online and in person this Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as we come before the Lord with praise in our hearts ready to Know the Source of our Power. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Get Out Of Your Head - Bible Study - Week 5
DESCRIPTION:Are your thoughts holding you captive? “I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me.” \nSometimes the greatest battle for our lives takes place right between our ears. In Get Out of Your Head\, a six-week study in Philippians\, we will be inspired and equipped to transform our emotions\, our outlook\, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts and changing our focus. And when we change our focus from sin and death to life and peace\, our lives are changed\, as are the lives of the people around us. \nEach participant will receive a workbook with weekly readings and exercises to help you get the most out of this study. We hope you’ll set aside some time to join us for this 6-week journey on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. beginning June 9. \n\n\n\n\nI Want to Get Out of My Head

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday\, we’re beginning a new sermon series that will guide us through the Book of Ephesians. Ephesians has been called “the Queen of the Epistles”. Why so much enthusiasm for a letter? Perhaps the simplest response is that the letter contains everything you need to explain the faith in one compact package. It’s about gearing up\, about making sure that our faith is not just an internal thing\, not just a head thing. It is about living out the faith. \nWe start by throwing a party. To celebrate what\, you ask? The God who has blessed us in every way – that’s what we’re celebrating; that’s what we are testifying to. But these aren’t exclusive blessings. Rather\, we are reminded that we are blessed to be a blessing. \nHow are we reaching out to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the community around us? Whose life has been affected by the church in tangible ways? \nJoin us as Mike Tironi leads us in worship online and in person this Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as we come before the Lord with praise in our hearts ready to Set our Hope on Jesus the Christ. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, many of you have been taking advantage of opportunities to get out of the house and travel to see loved ones and other destinations that you’ve missed seeing over the past year. As you arrive at your destinations or prepare to board various modes of transportation\, some of you have encountered a question that you might not have encountered before: “Are you well enough to travel?” \nCertainly\, this question has arisen in response to the pandemic\, but in many ways it’s a question that we’ve always had to ask. Are we up for the journey? Have we healed from our past wounds and illnesses so that we can face the new adventures that await us in the future? \nThis Sunday\, Pastor Wen-Ling Lai will lead us in worship to consider the healing grace and peace that Christ showers upon us. Are you aware of healing possible for all of the chosen & beloved sojourners this life on earth? Although we might be redeemed by the Son and sealed/secured by the Holy Spirit\, we often ignore or forget about the healing possible from God. \nJoin us online or in person this Sunday at 10 a.m. for a healing worship service as we gather to explore\, exchange and experience the provisions for healing and restoration from the wounds and brokenness! \nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:This past week\, a group of 10 people from our area traveled to the Red Bird Mission in rural Kentucky to support their work camp ministry\, which provides free home repair and improvements which enables the low income residents to have a roof over their heads that safely shelters their family. For some who joined us on the trip\, this was their first journey with us\, and one of the first questions that they ask is\, “what do we need to pack for the journey?” \nThe packing list for our trip includes some things that you would expect\, as well as some items that are unexpected. The expected includes work pants\, t-shirts\, sturdy shoes\, and a hat to keep you cool. Some of the unexpected include a sleeping bag and air mattress to sleep on a church floor overnight\, a large water bottle to prevent dehydration\, and some tasty snacks to share with your travel mates in the van (especially the driver – gotta keep him happy). \nThis week\, as we continue our “Gear Up for Life” sermon series on Ephesians\, we’re going to consider what provisions we need to live our lives well and participate in God’s work in our world. What are some of the “must have” items that you would put on your list? What do you think some of the surprises might be? \nSet some time aside to join us for worship this week as we come before the Lord with praise in our hearts and hear St. Paul’s Prayer for the Provisions we will need for a faithful life. You can join us live in our sanctuary or online on Sunday at 10 a.m. \nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube
