The only National Park in Minnesota, and you have to travel all the way up towards Canada to get there. The name comes from the history of traders who traveled the waters to transport beaver pelts back and forth. When Jesus calls his disciples as followers, he knows he cannot do the work alone. The same is true for us—we cannot do the work alone.
One of the most popular national parks, Yellowstone is an amazing place that fills you with wonder and awe. There is no other place like it. Together, we will explore what it means for God to always be faithful to us, and how we can lean into that faithfulness, even when we don’t fully comprehend how God works.
The Badlands are a National Park that people often visit on their way somewhere else. This week we will journey there together, and stay there. What do we see when we stay and linger?
We continue our worship series on National Parks. Grand Teton National Parks is one of my favorite places on the earth after traveling there this summer. It’s name comes from the sight of three mountains right next to each other. We will focus particularly on the part where Adam is lonely all by himself. We are not meant to do life alone. Even mountain ranges form peaks together and the valleys flow from one to the other.
This week kicks off our sermon series on the National Parks. This series is inspired by the book America's Holy Ground: 61 Faithful Reflections on Our National Parks by Brad Lyons and Bruce Barkhauer.
This Sunday we touch on John Wesley's essential teaching on Prevenient Grace. Google it! His insight is that the path of "For Giving" is paved with Prevenient Grace.
After hearing the wisdom and moving perspectives from five congregation members, this week it's Pastor Brooke's turn to respond to the questions we've been pondering these past several weeks. What kind of Christian does our world need? What does it mean to be a Christian in 2024?
What does love look like in a faith community like EUMC? Love shared and love given is what Jesus calls us to do. We welcome guest speaker Kristie as she shares her story of faith.
What if we understood our lives, our relationships, our creativity and our faith as a pilgrimage? Where would we begin? What would be our destination?
In a world saturated with directions, definitions, and how-to guides, we are often overwhelmed. We recount the story of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet. A simple act of service which embodies community, service and humility. We are all different. We possess unique skills, varied interests, and find ourselves in all stages of life. What tools do we each have at our disposal to live as Christians? What simple acts are within our capabilities and resources? And where can we look for examples and instructions? Whose feet can I wash today?
