For six weeks, Friedens Church will be embarking on a journey called Not a Fan, during which we will seek to move beyond simply being a “fan” of Jesus to becoming completely committed followers.
Jesus calls us to step out of the crowd of fans and follow Him. How will you respond to His call?

Keeping the X in Xmas” is all about staying focused on Christ during the Christmas season. On one hand, it may seem like a “no-brainer” that a church would want to focus on Christ during this time of year. Yet if we honestly examine our activities during the month of December, I think we’ll find that many of the events and traditions are better at making us feel happy and sentimental than they are at helping us treasure Christ more. Join us as we discuss how to stay focused on Christ during the Christmas season and year-round!

Plan B -What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you thought it would?
We all have those times when a dream withers, when tragedy strikes, or when circumstances simply get us down. How do we respond when our “Plan A” in life doesn’t work out? During our “Plan B” sermon series, we will be finding hope in the life of Joseph, from Genesis 37-50. Joseph’s life is a series of action-packed ups and downs, and God’s work in His life will teach us how to respond when we face an undesired “Plan B.”
