Jonah
120,000 At Risk: Do We Care?
A summer sermon series about God’s mercy, our neighbors, and what it means to respond with compassion, prayer, and obedience.
Begins Sunday, June 14
Worship at 8:30 AM + 10:00 AM
Do we care about the people God cares about?
The book of Jonah is more than a story about a prophet and a fish. It is a story about God’s mercy, human resistance, and the people God sees even when we would rather look away.
This summer, Prairie Creek will walk through Jonah and ask what it means to care about our neighbors, our community, and the mission God places before us.
Together, we will move from abstract concern to concrete compassion as we pray for real people, notice our actual neighbors, and respond to God’s call with obedience.
