Join us this Lent for a transformative six-week sermon series, “Shadows of Resurrection: Old Testament Promises Leading to Easter’s Victory.” Each Sunday, we’ll journey through ancient scriptures—from Genesis to Daniel—uncovering God’s promises that point to Christ’s triumph over sin and death. This season invites you to reflect deeply on your own spiritual journey, confronting sin’s grip and embracing hope through repentance, prayer, and acts of love, as we prepare for the joy of Easter.
Through vivid Old Testament stories, we’ll explore themes of brokenness, sacrifice, and divine restoration. From the serpent-crushing promise in Eden to the dry bones revived in Ezekiel’s vision, each message reveals how God’s plan unfolds to defeat death itself, making Lent a season of personal renewal and communal worship.
Whether you’re seeking a fresh start, deeper faith, or a place to belong, this series offers a meaningful path to Easter’s victory. Come, discover how God’s ancient promises speak to your heart today, and join us in worship as we anticipate the risen Christ!

The First Gospel
Feb 22, 2026 • 00:49:24
During Lent, we follow Jesus to the cross, the fulfillment of God’s first promise of good news in the Garden of Eden for sinful humanity. He is the one who maps and forges the way back into right relationship with himself. Series: Shadows Of Resurrection Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: Genesis…

Psalm 30 directs the hearts of sinful people away from our pride and self-reliance and to look to God for deliverance. He rescues us from our enemies, diseases, and death, but also from our sinful selves. All these promises converge in Christ and his saving work on the cross. Series:…
Due to the impending winter storm to hit early Saturday, the conference team is postponing the 2026 EMC Women’s Conference until Friday, February 6 and Saturday, February 7, which is our snow date. While Friday does not look affected by the storm, Saturday promises to provide us with a storm that would likely strand out of town guests and make travel for locals difficult, at best.
We hope that you are able to adjust your schedule as God has blessed us with an amazing speaker and multiple entertainers that will be with us February 6-7. These folks have been preparing for months to bless us with the message God has prepared to show us that He Is Enough.
If you are not able to join us, please contact us for a refund or consider offering your registration as a scholarship for another to attend in your place.
Ladies, please join us in the EMC Fellowship Hall for Morning Light or Night Light Bible study as we fellowship and learn from God’s Word together!
Thursdays, February 12-March 19
Morning Light: 9:30 AM
Night Light: 6:30 PM
Our study is Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath, by Priscilla Shirer. One of the greatest challenges among women in our culture is taking time to cease from all the activities and just breathe. We are in bondage to busyness. We constantly strive to complete the limitless to-do lists that hinder us from experiencing all that God has for us. By neglecting time for tranquility, serenity, and repose, we limit our Christlikeness and miss out on some of God’s greatest gifts. In the Old Testament, Sabbath was given to the Israelites as a gift, and it is still a gift to us today. If you are weary, worn out, and exhausted, then the concept of Sabbath will change your life.
Books will be available at the first sessions at a cost of $13.
(If you are unable to afford the book, please let us know and we can get you one free.)
Childcare is available for preschool children ages 0-5 years for Morning Light only. You must pre-register your children by 2/8 so that we will have appropriate staffing. Pre-register by contacting us with the names and ages of your children.
Questions about Morning Light OR Night Light? Contact us.
