A Man Had Two Sons

3/27/2022

Speaker:Rev. Stina Miller
Date: March 27,2022

​Out of the depths we cry to you, God. Rev. Stina Miller explores the parable of the Prodigal Son. Do you see yourself in one of the figures in the parable? God's indiscriminate prodigal grace does not operate based on merit or just desserts; grace is simply grace, lavishly and lovingly offered.

Bearing Fruit

Speaker:Rev.Dr.Eileen Altman
Date: March 20,2022

Pastor Eileen speaks on repentance. When we've fallen short loving God and our neighbor, God loves us anyway, and God calls us to repent, change and bear fruit. Repentance is urgent and God calls us to nourish our souls and grow.

Speaker:Rev. David Howell
Date: March 13,2022

​Pastor Dave discusses Jesus' lamentation over Jerusalem, a reminder that God responds to our failures and stumbles with lament, not condemnation. In our worst moments, we are given the opportunity for new life.

Waiting for an Opportune Time

Speaker: Rev. David Howell
​Date: March 6, 2022

​Pastor Dave begins Lent by talking about Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, and the idea that self-centeredness is at the root of sin, and it often keeps us from becoming the people we are called to be.

We gather as a church, welcoming people of all abilities, backgrounds, ethnicities, and those who are LGBTQ+, to become more aware of the love of God in our lives and to make real that love in the world through worshiping, serving humanity, and seeking to follow in the ways of Jesus.
