Park on Marr Street
The side lot is free. The ramp and accessible spaces are by the side door. Aim for ten minutes before worship.
Sunday morning. Room for you.
Come as you are. Take your time.
Sundays 9:00 and 10:45
Here in Pocahontas, since 1910
Old pews. New faces. A welcome that stays.
Maybe you have just moved to town. Maybe it has been years since you sat in a church. Whatever brings you here, there is room to begin again. We are neighbors learning to follow Jesus and look after each other.
See your first SundayYour first Sunday, without the guesswork.
No dress code. No spotlight on visitors. Just a little help finding your way.
Come through the side door
A greeter can show you around. No forms to fill out, and no need to tell us your whole story.
Take a minute for coffee
Coffee and something small to eat are in the foyer. You can bring your cup into the sanctuary.
Settle in with your kids
Use matching pickup stickers at the nursery. Older kids start in worship. Keeping them beside you is always fine.
Find a seat anywhere
Worship lasts about an hour: songs, a prayer, a Bible reading, and a message. Sit, stand, or just listen.
Stay a little, or head into town
You are welcome to linger. For lunch, try a café around the courthouse square, or bring a picnic to the Black River.
Faith has a weekday life, too.
Around a table, in a classroom, out in the neighborhood. Find your place at your own pace.

Luke 14:15–24
A table with room
What changes when we stop asking who deserves a seat and start making room?
Read the message notes
Jesus tells a story about an invitation that reaches farther than anyone expects. This week, James considers the small ways a church can widen its table: remembering a name, saving a chair, and sharing a meal without asking for anything back.
Exodus 3:1–12
On ordinary ground
Paying attention to the places we pass by every day.
Read the message notes
Moses was doing an ordinary day’s work when he noticed something. We think about noticing our own neighbors, the people behind the counter, and the needs that can get lost in a busy week. Faith can begin with looking a little more closely.
Matthew 6:25–34
Enough for today
A gentler way to carry tomorrow’s worries.
Read the message notes
These words are not a promise that everything will be easy. They are an invitation to take one day at a time, to accept help, and to offer it. Renee shares a story from the pantry about what enough can look like in practice.
