Join us now as we explore how to follow that example in the next 30 minutes through worship, song, pray, scripture, and a message by Pastor Russ. Continue reading →

To say that "God is Love" is to say that loving relationships are at the core of God's being. Rev. Patti Case looks at Psalm 27 as a means of understanding this vital aspect of who God is and who God wants us to be.
Our worship this week is 31 minutes long, with sing-along hymns, prayers, and a special guest preacher, Rev. Patti Case, bringing the word.
As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where you may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers are given to extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)

In the Sunday following Epiphany, we look at Jesus use of power. God doesn't act in our world through irresistible force, but through gentle persuasive action. Jesus, as God's great example for us, acts as an agent of change, but never through force and especially never through violence. Pastor Russ leads us to God's call for us to use gentle power and so to be Christ's presence in our world in our times and places. Continue reading →
