Better Together
The Bible tells us to be connected and concerned with the well-being of all those in our world. We do better when everyone else around us does better. We have a vested interest in the well-being of others.
Current Series
Christian: Noun or Verb?
We begin a new series that will feature not only my voice, but the voices of five congregation members. A strong value of our church is empowering one another and hearing each other’s voices. We will live into that in July and August as we experience a worship series that is shaped and molded by five others. I have been blessed to hear their perspectives and reflections on our theme and I know you will too.
BOLD: 5 Female Leaders in the Old Testament
In July as we learn from five bold and important female leaders in the Old Testament. What do you know about these five powerful women: Esther Deborah, Hagar, Miriam, Rahab. Join us as we hear and connect with their stories.
Rooted
Over the past few months, a small group of us have been meeting to plan a sermon series. Sarah Nelson, Sarah Heyd Johnson, Peter Cleaveland and myself have crafted together a theme called ROOTED. Over 5 weeks, we will explore the concept of nourishment, connection, growth, understanding one another, and how strong roots can ground us through the ups and downs of life.
May 2023
For three weeks in May, we explore meaningful topics that include the ways imperfection makes this world beautiful, our District Superintendent, Rev. Cynthia Williams, preaches on the story of Jesus healing a woman on the sabbath, and Rev. Susan Mullin's sermon "Things Look Dire: Be Not Afraid".
Questions of a Risen Jesus
Throughout Lent, we examined different questions that arose in encounters with Jesus. This week and next, we'll examine two of the questions that Jesus himself asked after he was resurrected.
Seeking
Throughout the gospels, Jesus encounters people who are seeking. They are seeking a new beginning, a different life, a deeper faith. The exchange between them is one of questions and exploration. We are also seeking many things. Lent offers us a season to engage in this spiritual practice of seeking and asking questions. Each week, we will seek good questions rather than easy answers. Our faith will be shaped by our growth, curiosity, and wonder.
Belonging
Join us as we explore the concept of belonging. It's a desire and need that we all have to belong. What does it mean to truly belong? How can we create belonging? To whom do we belong?
