Take Your Next Faithful Step
Each one of us has a next step of faith to explore what God is up to in our lives. We want to work with you to take those next steps and have some two-way communication. A great way for that communication to happen is through our Next Step Sheets.

Scripture: John 8:1-11
To Throw the Stone
8 1-2 Jesus went across to Mount Olives, but he was soon back in the Temple again. Swarms of people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
3-6 The religion scholars and Pharisees led in a woman who had been caught in an act of adultery. They stood her in plain sight of everyone and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught red-handed in the act of adultery. Moses, in the Law, gives orders to stone such persons. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something incriminating so they could bring charges against him.
6-8 Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt. They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, “The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone.” Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt.
9-10 Hearing that, they walked away, one after another, beginning with the oldest. The woman was left alone. Jesus stood up and spoke to her. “Woman, where are they? Does no one condemn you?”
11 “No one, Master.”
“Neither do I,” said Jesus. “Go on your way. From now on, don’t sin.”]
Where do my gifts go?
We have pastoral changes and ministry shifts on the near horizon for FaithPoint. As we explore options, and solicit feedback we will be holding the first of a few meetings this week for a Q&A.
If you would like more info about the meetings, please let us know via your next step sheet. You can also join the conversation on Tuesday, May 24th at 6:30pm https://faithpointum.org/zoom
Masking During Worship
Thanks for your help in keeping worship as accessible as possible by wearing our masks throughout our worship service.
Your Story is important!
Our stories have the power to deepen and make our faith real.
God didn’t stop acting in the world after the Bible was canonized. Sharing our story is important to letting others know how God continues to work.
We would like you to consider how you might share your story of feeling like a misfit and finding a place at the table of Jesus.
Next Series
On June 5th we celebrate Pentecost. This, in the life of the church, is a moment that changes everything. We go from obeying the law to following Jesus, and now we get to chase the Holy Spirit. This is an exciting adventure, and when we say “yes and” to God powerful things happen.
Discipleship Pathway
We have a tool to help you grow your faith in every area of your life. Our pathway explores how we can follow Jesus with our whole selves.
Weather you are taking a first step, or you have been on the journey for a while. Filling out you personal pathway is a great way to grow. You can find print Pathways at the Next Steps Table or visit: faithpointum.org/pathway
