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 →

“Upon this rock, I will build the church, and the gates of hell will not prevail upon it,” Jesus told Peter. Fast forward a couple thousand years later and billions of people across the world are now part of this church. And this church has, and continues to see some of the best and worst that people have to offer. But what does it mean to wear the name Christian? To be called to follow Christ—to be “called Christians”? How can we do better, more like Christ is calling us today? Continue reading →

The Corinthians were having a tough go of getting along with each other. Know anyone like that? When anger, pride, hurt feelings, resentment, sin get between members of a church—one needs the Apostle Paul’s teachings to remind us that we can be reconciled by putting something else between us. That’s our theme today, using the scripture in 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. Minister Daren Huber will be bringing our message. Continue reading →

It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship.
Two eyes, two ears. Dandelions and fish. You! Each has a part to play in the world, each an important role. Our worship today looks at gifts in this world and how they all work together, even in unexpected ways. Rev. Russ Smith brings our message, continuing a look at the Letter to the Ephesians, and it's special insights on life together as people of God. Continue reading →

Welcome to our 12-minute "Gift of Pentecost," with song, scripture, and a trip around the world you'll not soon forget. After our volunteers read the Acts 2:1-2 scripture about the birth of the church at Pentecost, we'll begin our trip around the world, with multiple generations of readers in 17 world languages reminding us of Jesus' Great Commandment (John 13:34-35), "A new commandment I give to you: Love one another."

How could Mary know as she was told she would have a son Jesus, what all that would mean? In her day and to the world? We are still pondering that question as we observe the Fourth Sunday in Advent. We are blessed to have guest minister, Rev. Dean Phelps bring our message today about God's Word in the World, and how our choices, no matter how insignificant they seem, truly matter.
