Our worship began with the reminder that we have been given two simple commands to be followers of God: to love God and love our neighbor. Our life is supported when we trust the Holy Spirit to lead us into true community. Our Hebrew Scripture from 2nd Kings was the story of Naaman and Elisha. […]
In worship we began by being reminded that Jesus is the cornerstone of the Church and that the apostles (and us) are ones who are called to share witness to God’s grace and offer hope to the hopeless. Our Hebrew scripture reading was the story of Elijah being whisked away to heaven and Elisha receiving […]
In worship, we celebrate the remembrance that God’s love is always present and that we, by our relationship with God, need to revere God and all that God stands for. We need to remember the loving kindness of God on our lives. Our Psalmist sang that a human’s soul craves a relationship with God, and […]
In worship, we took a journey into the incomprehensible world of the Trinity. While we celebrate and profess a belief in the doctrine of the Trinity, we are no closer to understanding what it actually means. Our collect helps us by saying what we can’t, that God’s presence is united and that God’s grace comes […]

In worship we were reminded of the mystery of Jesus’ passion and how Jesus’ death leads to a new covenant of reconciliation with God. Our hope is born in the body of Christ as demonstrated in our faith that God’s promises are true and trustworthy. Our Psalmist sang a song that praised God for being […]
