Amidst all the loss, uncertainty, and challenges we have experienced this year, we have so much for which to be grateful. Come; let us be together in a spirit of Thanksgiving. As we continue our exploration of Paul’s words from the letter to Romans, we’ll consider how we are called to “rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep;” and how practices of humility and gratitude may guide us to greater peace.

We are also so grateful for the gift of beautiful music from James Cooke and Lisa Crockett! Learn More

Pastor Wendy preached,
We continued to dig into words from the letter to Romans and examined the power of holding fast to what is good through shared purpose. In this time of transition, the purpose question is the most important work we can do in order to discern the right leader to help fulfill that purpose. Coming to God-given consensus on a common purpose is invigorating work. We will see what inspiration we find in these ancient words to move us on that path. Learn More

Pastor Wendy preached and we shared in Communion.
For the next few Sundays we will dig into words from the letter to Romans. The apostle Paul wrote these words to a church he had not yet met, but who were facing the common circumstances of emergent and new communities gathering in the name of Jesus. Like those who heard these words long ago, we will ponder, what does it mean to “hold fast to what is good?” Learn More

Pastor Wendy was our preacher and we celebrated
the saints in our midst and in that great cloud of witnesses.

The biblical story of Ruth and Naomi centered us in asking the question – how shall we go together? Ministry in a time of transition has always been a challenge. Layer the havoc wreaked by the pandemic and discerning a way forward in an upended world adds more challenge. What stories of people of faith can help us find our way? We’ll explore these themes in the next few Sundays as we come together, build relationship and set on a path towards new pastoral leadership. The sermon is inspired in part by this song – feel free to check it out in advance. Learn More

This Sunday we are blessed to have Rev. Cindy Maybeck, an inspiring and accomplished preacher, share our pulpit. Founder of Spirit Story ministry, Rev. Maybeck designs original presentations blending scripture telling and storytelling to bring God’s word to life and to inspire the church to move forward in faith with hope and joy. She tells the Gospel by heart as it was first told in the early church. To receive the word spoken with love transforms our understanding of the Bible as a living instrument of God’s grace. Her sermons are filled with stories and you will be transfixed and perhaps touched with laughter or even shed a healing tear. Learn More

Join us in person (masked, distanced) or online as we find joy, peace, connection in worshiping together. This week we are blessed to commission our 9th and 10th graders on a year-long exploration of their faith, as they consider baptism, confirmation, membership, and their continued faith journey. We are delighted that both our Choir and Bell Choir will again share the gift of their music in-person. As our youth embark on a year of asking questions of their faith, we will consider what it means when Jesus tells the disciples, “ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find.” Learn More
