 “Enough” A New Sermon Series Begins October 25

 

 

What if we began with the possibility that there is enough? Really. Enough time for what matters. Enough to build a life that’s rich in the ways that count. Enough of ourselves to offer. Enough to go around.  It may not always feel that way. We know too well what it is to worry about what’s ahead, run short, stretch ourselves and what we have. Jesus doesn’t dismiss those realities. But he does invite us to see them differently—to look again at our lives and what we’ve been given, and to wonder: what might change if we lived as though there were enough?

October 25 - "Is there Enough?” Luke 12:22-34 

Blessing of the Animals Bring your pet to JKPC for a blessing!

9:30 a.m. Outdoor Worship Service in the Courtyard

You and your pet and invited to join us outside in the courtyard that morning for a casual, all-ages worship service and a Blessing of the Animals. We’ll have chairs set up, or you’re welcome to bring a favorite camp chair or blanket. And, of course, bring your pets in a comfortable, secure manner so we can bless them! This is a great service to invite others to, so feel free to extend the invitation to your friends and neighbors, human and furry!
