Pastor Amy will continue our exploration of the stories of the Jewish people’s return from exile, as we emerge from our own exile-like time of displacement caused by the pandemic. This week we’ll remember the Prophet Ezekiel and his vision of dry bones that return to life, filled with God’s Spirit, and consider where we are finding life and breath as individuals and as a community.

Popsicles at the Picnic Table: All are welcome to join us at the church picnic table directly following worship for snacks and fellowship.

Our second passage comes from the Book of Acts which tells the story of how the disciples came together as church after the ascension of Jesus.

This Sunday, we come along side Nicodemus as he meets with Jesus under the cover of darkness to learn about this new life that Jesus speaks of (John 3:1-17) . We also listen in as the Prophet Isaiah hears a call on his heart to step out into service of God even as he wrestles with his own inadequacy to be of much service to God (Isaiah 6: 1-8). These are powerful texts of call. Powerful stories of how the Spirit moves in people’s lives. We will consider what the Spirit may have in store for us as we discernment how we are to emerge from this COVID-19 time of isolation, fear and loss.

It is fitting that we will also share in the blessing of a baptism and the reaffirmation of our call as a congregation to nurture each and everyone as a beloved child of God and member of the household where Love reigns. Read More …
