Churches

Cheney Congregational Church

This Sunday our pastor is preaching on the practice of waking up to God. It can be hard to feel as connected to God when our normal church routines are interrupted. But the good news is that we worship a God who we can encounter anywhere and everywhere, not just in a church building.

So this week pastor Matt Goodale is preaching on the grace we can experience in the simple act of waking up. Goodale continues to send out a recording of his sermon each week along with an at-home worship guide. If you’re interested in receiving either, then email Goodale at mattgoodale.ccc@gmail.com.

We hope this message finds you in good health. Blessings to all this week.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” Teilihard de Chardin. “The bodies we inhabit are husks we give back to God at the harvest along with the fruits of his love. Our growth is marked by the rich rings of successive seasons spent praising God and serving neighbor.” Rev. Christine Soule
