Be Salty

9/26/2021

0 Comments

 

Speaker: Rev. David Howell
​Date: September 26, 2021

"Salt is ordinary, it is everywhere, and it is relatively cheap," Pastor Dave said. "We need to be the people God called us to be: beautiful, essential, and a little bit ordinary and make room for everyone ... anyone who is not against us is for us."

Dialogue on Immigration, Race, and How We As People of Faith Can Make a Difference

9/19/2021

0 Comments

 

Speakers: Rev. David Howell,  Prof. Tomás Jiménez
Date: September 19, 2021

Immigration is not a winning political issue, but individual people can make a difference, such as Marty Dreher’s work with the FCCPA immigrant accompaniment team or Sarahi Espinoza Salamanca’s effort with Dreamers Roadmap.

Prof. Tomás Jiménez recommends we “look for the helpers and follow them.”

Do Good

9/12/2021

0 Comments

 

Speaker: Rev. David Howell
Date: September 12, 2021

Pastor Dave Howell emphasizes the message to “be doers of the word—not merely hearers” in his sermon titled “Do Good.”

“Grace shows in the life that we lead, in who we are, and in how we treat every person we encounter … Our faith needs rescuing, healing, and hope, and we are what Christianity looks like, so always seek to do the loving thing.”

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.
