In worship we were reminded, yet again, that the birth of Jesus was the in-breaking of God’s light into human experience and that the Light brings light to all who come in contact with the faithful. Our reading from Hebrew scripture was taken from the prophet Isaiah. He told his people that the troubles they […]
In worship today we celebrated the last Sunday of Advent with great expectation. We are reminded that God comes to us each day in the person of Jesus to help us be ready for God’s return. That God has created a mansion in us and for us to dwell for all eternity, with loved ones […]
In worship we were reminded that our ability to offer true and meaningful service to all depends solely on God’s gift to us. Otherwise, we might find that we stumble as we strive for the heavenly promises offered by God. Thankfully, God’s grace is more than sufficient for us. Our Psalmist sang the song that […]
As we worshipped today, we asked God to remind us and instill in us the gifts of faith, hope, and charity, in order to be more aware of God’s promises made to us at God’s command. Our mission is to ask believing that we already have been provided God’s blessings. Our Hebrew scripture was the […]
As we gathered for worship we continued our journey with the questions of life for our church and our community. In our scripture today we saw that questions and assumptions aren’t a deal-breaker with God.

In worship today we began by considering that God is the source of all good things and that by inspiring (breathing in) God we are able to think and act on the right things of life. By God’s grace we are also able to be guided in the right ways of life. Our Hebrew Scripture […]
Our readings today included the giving of the 10 Commandments (10 Words) in Exodus at the Mountain. We are reminded that there are two aspects of our relationship with God: fidelity to God and our relationship with God and second, our proper functioning as a community. Not just specifically a community of believers but as […]
In worship we heard stories of the faith of our predecessors and the reminders of God’s presence in the unchangeable truth of God’s Word, Jesus. Our faith comes not by nurturing it, but by uncovering the faith already present. In our Genesis reading we heard the story of Abram who becomes Abraham and the promise […]
In worship today there was a mix of themes in the readings and collect. Our psalmist asked God how long would God forget him? But then realized that God had dealt with the psalmist richly in the past and would continue to be beneficial to him in the future. Paul’s letter to the Romans continued […]
