3rd Sunday after Easter

April 19th, 2026

This is Not the End of Your Story

How faith shows up in the small things
Why compassion matters, even when it’s riskey
What it means to trust God when it takes time
How gratitude can transform us
Why prayer is worth holding onto

From Pastor TJ’s sermon this past Sunday on Luke’s version of the Road to Emmaus:

“Transformation begins when we stop trying to remake Jesus…and allow Jesus to remake us.“

– Pastor TJ Lynch
