June 7, 2026 – “Walking Our Talk”
Overview
Following a time of confession, assurance, and the Passing of the Peace, Joel Morien shared a special Time with the Children before the congregation turned its attention to the Word. Reader Gavin Andersson proclaimed the Epistle reading from Romans 10:5–15, followed by the choral anthem “Spirit and Grace” by Ricky Manalo, sung beautifully by the choir.
The Gospel of Luke 24:44–48 was then read, preparing hearts for the sermon. Pastor Katie Estes delivered the message “The Great Ends of the Church: Walking Our Talk” — a thoughtful and convicting exploration of what it means to live as the body of Christ in the world. Drawing from both scripture and the PC(USA) Book of Order, Pastor Katie challenged the congregation to move beyond institutional thinking and toward genuine gospel proclamation, care for one another, and a visible witness of the Kingdom of Heaven.
