Easter 7... Joy!

Lent 6... Welcoming the Way of Jesus.
/We're in the final days of Lent and this past Sunday (Lent 6, aka Palm Sunday) we listened to the story of John 12:12-26, and joined the crowd that bustled alongside Jesus. And I invited us to put ourselves alongside the "seekers" of the crowd who asked: "We wish to see Jesus."

Lent Devotional 2026
/For many years now, we have encouraged one another along the journey toward Easter by creating and sharing a Lent Devotional Book as a church family. This work allows us the opportunity to dig deep into a piece of Scripture, to share how God has spoken to us through our verses, and then to be encouraged and challenged by what others have experienced. We encourage our congregation to participate both in the creation and the enjoyment of our Altadore Lent Book!
Watch for the Altadore Church 2026 Lent Devotional made available in print or digitally by Sunday, February 15th, 2026.
Pride Month 2025
/As Christians we have the privilege of a deep and loving relationship with God. We know that many of our LGBTQ2S+ relations who want to share their God-given love are scared to, for fear of discrimination or violence. Pride Month is a reminder to lift up our friends and family who are oppressed so that they can live in peace and freedom, able to love and share as their authentic selves.
"Freedom From - To Freedom For." A look into the ten commandments
/Over the fall we'll be taking a deep dive into The Ten Commandments. It's a familiar story to most who've grown up in the church but in our theme of 'Freedom From - To Freedom For.' we'll be looking a little closer at what they mean and their purpose in God's story and our story while exploring one of the fundamentals in faith for all who've just started their faith journey ❤ Hope to see you there!
