“You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world."
[Matthew 5:13-16]
These are Jesus' words to the disciples that we hear from the Gospel of Matthew 5:13-16.
As children of God we are all called to be the salt and light of the earth. Both salt and light have transformative properties. They can be life-giving when we use these elements (traits) in ways that are pleasing to God as the hands and feet of Jesus the Christ on earth. Are ya feeling salty? Are you longing for more life-giving flavor in your life? Are you looking for a faith community to shine your light with?
Have you been journeying through this world in the shadows of darkness?
If you answered yes to ANY of these questions...please consider joining us! ALL are welcome:)

9am Worship at our Holy Ghost Darmstadt location
9:00am
2806 Weilmuenster Rd
Darmstadt, IL 62255
Join us as we enter into the final two weeks of our Campfires and Crossroads summer series. Sometimes the most important thing we can do on a journey is stop. Moses was simply going about his day when something interrupted the road—and when he turned aside, he discovered he was standing on holy ground. What might we be moving too quickly to notice? This Sunday, we’ll "Hit the Brakes" and wonder what can happen when we become interruptible enough for God to get our attention.

Join us for our final week of our Campfires and Crossroads summer series. After our summer on the road, it’s time to unpack the suitcase. We’ll revisit the objects, stories, and Traveler’s Takeaways we’ve collected along the way—but unpacking doesn’t mean the journey is over. God’s people have always remembered where they’ve been while getting ready for wherever God might lead next. So bring your memories from the road, Family. We’re emptying the suitcase...and making room for what comes next.
