There is a lot about living “a life of faith” that has to do with organization.  How we order our activities, our thoughts and our desires can be capricious or can be systematic, or somehow a mixture of what seems mere whim or more intentional.  Entering into the season descrbed as “ordinary time,” we are given the opportunity to consider our own intentionality with regard to issues of faith. As we continue to celebrate with joy the return to relatively normal worship, seizing this opportunity may feel both burden and liberation, leaving us potentially somewhat “stuck in the middle.”  Let’s ponder together how we become unstuck!

We come together again, still in a pandemic though with a sense of relief that comes with most of us having been vaccinated.  Still, our prayers go out to those around the world who continue in the throes of this illness.  In our joining together I know that we all feel a sense of rebirth, and the readings from our lectionary invite us to consider what kind of community and individual enlivening we can anticipate as people of faith.  

For those of you who choose to remain at home, please know that you may still join us via a Zoom connection.  It will be different from the way we have gathered virtually before now, but I pray will be a fulsome experience of worship.  Please know that I welcome your feedback following the service!  Blessings!  

We are now open for in-person Sunday Worship services!  According to CDC guidelines, gathering in person for extended periods of time is safest for people who have been fully vaccinated, and we strongly encourage those who have not yet been fully vaccinated, including the two week recommended waiting period following the second shot, to continue joining us via Zoom.  

Our message for children today references the story of Pentecost, the promised coming of the Holy Spirit to the disciples as we hear it in Acts.  Our celebration today carries with it all the joy and the wonder of that day, and the excitement that comes with our own anticipation.  How will this church be birthed anew as some of our pandemic restrictions are eased?  How will we celebrate the gifts of the Spirit among us as we look forward in hope?  With God’s gifts descending on us even today, we may look around to notice ongoing renewal and also know new energy blowing through us as we meet continuing challenges.

Zoom Worship, Sunday @10:00am

Wednesdays @7:00pm via Zoom

The Mid-Week Service is a quiet centering of spirit, a time for contemplation, sharing, and prayer.  It is ecumenical, non-denominational, spiritually universal.

All are welcome to join us via Zoom. Details below.

Understanding that God is not only “in heaven,” but also with us and among us in the here and now is a challenging idea.  Knowing what we believe about Spirit, about Jesus, and about how God can be both beyond our reckoning and also beautifully present is perhaps the most challenging element of theology for people of many faiths.  As we gather for worship this Sunday, we can explore this idea together and know the way that we are empowered and invited to participate in God’s presence.  Isn’t that a remarkable idea!?

Spring is here and we all long for renewal in many ways.  Let’s celebrate together!
