Seed The Earth — Sunday, July 12, 2026
“Seed The Earth” begins with a children’s lesson about soil, water, and the care a seed needs before it can grow. The sermon extends that image to discipleship: kindness, forgiveness, accountability, and follow-up are the good soil that helps faith take root. It then links baptism to a responsibility that continues after the service—welcoming people into a community that stays present, helps them grow, and carries Christ’s love beyond the church walls.
