"Never place a period where God has placed a comma" God is Still Speaking Comma -Gracie Allen

Welcome! 

Jesus didn't turn people away, even those often rejected by others. We don’t intend to either. We are like a “company of strangers,” made family by the grace of God. God welcomes, claims, and loves all people.

Welcome to Church of the Beatitudes, part of the United Church of Christ. We are honored you are visiting our virtual home. If you haven't yet been to our church, we hope to meet you in person soon. Come, share your journey with us. We are people of God's extravagant welcome. We listen for the still speaking God. Look, listen all around. God's trying to tell us something.

What are the Beatitudes? The word “Beatitude” comes from a Latin word meaning “happy" or “blessed.” Found in the book of Matthew, they are a map for abundant life. They are a series of eight directives that guide us on our journey to God. We try to live the Beatitudes every day. We are blessed because you have found us.
