Grace and peace as we move into Pentecost.


During the weekend, we invite you to join us in the Virtual Achieving Financial Security Forum at 1 pm, worship in the sanctuary or online on Sunday and in our church conference at 1 pm where we will hear the initial sermons of Brandon Cox, Khaleelah Harris, and Erika Jackson-Stokes. Our Pentecost worship begins on Sunday at 9:30 am livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube.


During the week, we encourage your presence in Morning Meditations with Metropolitan at 7 am Monday through Friday, the Men's Prayer Call at 7:30 am on Monday, Noonday and Pastor’s Study at noon and 7 pm on Wednesday, and STEM Night on Friday at 7 pm.


For our study, we are in dialogue with Dr. Judy Fentress-Williams' Holy Imagination: A Literary and Theological Introduction to the Whole Bible. We're currently in the book of Deuteronomy. You're invited to join the study and conversation as we contemplate scripture and its implications as we engage in the world. Sessions are on Zoom and YouTube and replays are available each week. If you would like to purchase the book, you can find it at Bookshop, Target, and on Amazon.
