August Worship Series: Faith & Film
This August, we explored how stories on the screen can deepen our understanding of God's story. Each week we paired a popular film with Scripture, discovering themes of courage, identity, belonging, hope, and God's presence in our lives.
To get the most out of the series, we encourage you to watch the movies—or revisit an old favorite! The sermons are available to watch by clicking the images above.
On August 30, we'll celebrate Faith on a Stick! As Minnesota gathers for the Great Minnesota Get-Together, we'll explore the biblical connection between food, celebration, and gratitude. From harvest festivals to shared meals, Scripture reminds us that God delights in bringing people together.
Coming this fall!
