Series: April 2024
April 28, 2024 | Rev. Brooke Heerwald Steiner
Last week in worship we focused on the phrase “good soil” from one of Jesus’ parables. This week we look again at the same parable, focusing now on the sower. What do we learn from a sower who wastes seeds on places unlikely to create growth and life? On sidewalks, among rocks, in between thorns…this sower doesn’t seem to mind that some seeds might not sprout. Is the sower meant to symbolize God, the disciples, us, or all of the above?

For the month of April we have several special services planned. We will hear Rev. Dr. Joretta Marshall preach on the story commonly referred to as “Doubting Thomas. EUMC's Environmental Justice Team leads us as we celebrate Earth Day with guest speaker Buff Grace. He will discuss the small things we can do to protect our world. Our interactive family worship is April 21 and we continue our Earth Day focus to explore how we can nurture good soil for seeds to sprout and grow. Finally we focus on the sower. What do we learn from a sower who wastes seeds on places unlikely to create growth and life? Is the sower meant to symbolize God, the disciples, us, or all of the above?
