Seeking God Where You Are | Old Sloop Sunday Service (February 15, 2026)

Описание: Welcome to The First Congregational Church of Rockport! Join us this week as Rev. Derek van Gulden explores the heartfelt sermon theme, "Seeking God where you are". Whether you are seeking a fresh perspective, longing for community, or simply resting in familiar faith, we invite you to explore this message with us.

This morning's scripture readings are Psalm 40:1-10 and John 1:32-47. Remember, whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome here for an hour or a lifetime. We invite both our beloved local community and our online visitors to connect, worship, and grow with us today.
