Hello Church! Our Worship Service and Children’s Program are at 10 AM. The service is also live virtually and archived on Facebook and YouTube. Connect with refreshments before and after the Service together.
All are welcome: believers, questioners, and questioning believers! We affirm the worth, value, diversity, giftedness, and belonging of all. Let us be there for each other! Your presence means everything to your pastor and your community!
This Sunday we continue in the Sermon Series, “Finding Peace, The Twelve Steps for Everyone.” We will look closer at Steps 6 (willingness) and 7 (humility) this Sunday and learn more about Jesus’ teachings and how these actions help us find peace with ourselves as we trust in God.
There is wisdom in the twelve steps for anyone, with or without substance dependency. In fact, just because someone is sober from substance addiction, does not mean that there aren’t unhealthy behaviors and patterns that still keep repeating. Addictions and compulsions can transfer to other things as well. Every human can benefit from the healing and hope that comes from the Twelve Steps process. This process is about transformation, not simply information. This means it takes intention and action. The Steps are tools along with many other tools that help us learn more about ourselves. We can only change ourselves, right? You will find connection any week you can join us and the more you engage, the more you will likely receive. Please share! It is our heartfelt hope that you will grow in meaningful relationship: with God, with yourselves, and with others. We have resources and reflections for each week as well. There are a few workbooks available on Sunday, “The Twelve Steps, A Spiritual Kindergarten, Christian Perspectives on the Twelve Steps” by Dale and Juanita Ryan for purchase ($10). They can be purchased online as well. This is a good reflection for anyone desiring to dig deeper. Pastor Chris also recommends the book, “Breathing Under Water, Spirituality and the Twelve Steps” by Richard Rohr. Love and peace, y’all!
Please reach out to learn of ways to participate. We have a set Hospitality schedule with a rotation (below). If you can join the point people scheduled to help before or after Sunday service, it would be awesome. Jump in any Sunday:)
The more engaged we are, the more connection and relationship-building we experience- with God, with others, and with ourselves.
You are each dearly loved! Thanks be to God for this faith community and chosen church family. Newer faces and all faces, we‘d like to meet you where you are! Please let us know how TSCC can best meet your needs. Email Pastor Chris at info@tropicalsands.org.
