Baccalaureate 2020
Join us as we celebrate FMC students graduating from high school! We will hear from the graduates before sending them off with a meditation and charge based on Jeremiah 1:4-10.
Baccalaureate is historically a worship service honoring God through the recognition of those earning high school, college, or post graduate degrees. This morning we celebrate Baccalaureate Sunday as an acknowledgment that God has graced us with the abilities to teach, learn, and grow “in stature and wisdom” (Luke 2:52). Baccalaureate services challenge us to bless God through the developing of the gifts we have been given. We are invited to acknowledge that our abilities are not just for personal use but God-given gifts to be shared in community. As we approach the transitions that graduations signify, our Baccalaureate worship affirms that God is with us throughout all our days.

Fully Present
Pastor Glenn preached from Matthew 6:25-34, considering what it means to be fully present. Our story this morning is both simple and to the point- quit worrying. This idea may have worked 2,000 years ago; it was a much simpler time. A time before globalization and pandemics. Is it possible that this text might have something to say to us today?
Believe

A New Normal

Road to Emmaus
