Selah: A Day to Exhale — A Women’s Event
Saturday, March 7, 2026
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM | First Church St. Joseph Campus
Take a breath. Slow your pace. Create space for God to meet you.
Selah is an invitation to pause—an intentional day set apart for women to rest, reflect, and renew their souls in the presence of the Lord.
Join us for a beautiful, refreshing day designed to help you reconnect with God and exhale the weight you’ve been carrying. Through meaningful teaching, worship, conversation, and moments of quiet, you’ll experience a rhythm of rest that reminds your heart who God is and who you are in Him.
Whether you come with friends or come needing space alone, Selah offers a welcoming, peaceful environment created just for you.
You’re invited to step away from the noise, breathe deeply, and encounter the One who restores.

Passcreek Mission Trip
A last-minute opportunity has opened to serve with Passcreek Mission in South Dakota, and we’re inviting anyone from our church family who’s able to jump in.
From MARCH 14-21, a work crew is needed to help with projects on the church building at Passcreek Mission. After receiving the call from Tim Wardell, Jim Clark has agreed to pull together a team to meet this need.
This trip will focus on general home maintenance and repair projects, so participants should be comfortable using basic tools and helping with hands-on work. No professional experience is required—just a willing heart and practical skills.
The cost is $300 per person, which covers transportation, food, and lodging.
If you’re looking for a meaningful, short-term way to serve and make a tangible impact, this is a great opportunity to step in and help.
