Freeze Sunday – Church From Home

Church, Wherever We Are

This Sunday, winter weather is asking us to do something a little different — and a little familiar. With ice expected on the roads, we’re staying off the streets and gathering as church in our homes.

Whether that means watching worship with a cup of coffee and a candle lit, sharing Scripture around the kitchen table, checking in with a friend by phone, or moving slowly through the service at your own pace — this is still worship. This is still church.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been practicing Faith 5 — learning what it looks like to share our lives, read Scripture, talk honestly, pray together, and bless one another at home.

Today, those practices come alive in a very real way. Not because conditions are ideal — but because faith meets us where we are.

All of today’s worship and education has been pre-recorded and shared below so you can participate when and how it works best for you. If power or internet is uncertain, we invite you to download what you need ahead of time.

Home is holy ground.
You don’t have to do this perfectly.
You just have to show up — as you are.

Until we gather again in person, may you stay warm, stay safe, and know that you are deeply connected to this community.

For Families & Kids

Church looks a little different today—and that’s okay. 💙
These simple activities are here to help you create sacred space right where you are.

Using Psalm 139, children are invited to hear a powerful truth:
God knows them, loves them, and made them wonderfully.

You don’t need to do everything—just choose what fits your family today.

• Read together.
• Talk a little.
• Color.
• Pray.
• Bundle up and notice where God feels close.

Whether you’re gathered around the kitchen table, curled up on the couch, or listening while the kettle boils, this counts. This is faith at home—exactly what we’ve been practicing together.

👉 Resources below are organized by age, with coloring pages and simple conversations to help kids engage at their own pace.

For Families with Youth

Faith at Home: Highs, Lows & Scripture Stories

Today’s practice invites youth (and the people who love them) to reflect on real life—what’s been hard, what’s been good—and notice where God might be meeting us in the middle of it all.

You don’t need to rush. You don’t need perfect answers. Just show up, listen, and be curious together.

Adult Formation – Village Time

Faith grows when we say it out loud.

This week, Faith 5 invites us into the practice of Talk—the simple but powerful act of sharing our faith story with another person. That might be with a spouse at the kitchen table, text with a friend, a child before bed, or even quietly with God in prayer and journaling.

You’ll find a short, guided reflection below that can be done on your own or with others.

Through prayer, Scripture, and conversation, we practice noticing where God has been present in our highs and lows—and how naming those moments deepens our faith.

This matters because faith isn’t meant to stay locked inside our heads. It takes shape when we speak it, listen to one another, and discover that God is already at work in our ordinary days.

Entering Worship at Home

Wherever you are today, you’re invited to make a little room for worship.

Light a candle. Take a breath. Gather whoever is with you — or settle in quietly on your own.

This guide is here to help you move through worship at your own pace, following along with the pre-recorded service as you listen, pray, sing, and reflect. There’s no right way to do this — just come as you are, trusting that God meets us on the road, at the table, and in the ordinary spaces we call home.
