Weekly Check-In - February 14, 2026
Happy Valentine's Day!
Tomorrow is the end of the season of Epiphany and the last Sunday before the start of Lent. Tomorrow is Transfiguration Sunday, drawing its name from the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus. We'll be reading the story as it appears in Matthew 17:1-9. Back on January 11 we began the season of Epiphany, with a message called "Water, The Voice Of God, And What Is Being Revealed." Tomorrow's message has an echo of that - "A Mountain, The Voice Of God, And What Is Being Revealed." This is a great passage and a great Sunday - hope to see you there!
Also tomorrow is the third Sunday of the month which is a bring non-perishable items for the food pantry Sunday. Yes we just had Souper Sunday - and thanks to everyone who brought something - but just to stay consistent our third Sunday emphasis goes on.
Also tomorrow we have the final meeting of our Psalms Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. before beginning a special series for Lent next Sunday morning for Sunday School. Our Lenten Series, beginning Sunday morning February 22 is called The Third Day: Living The Resurrection and features DVD segments each week by Rev. Tom Berlin.
