Justice and Peace

EvenSong, Mar 5, 5:30pm

We celebrate that God wills for the world peace with justice, known in the Middle East as Shalom or Salaam. This is not an abstraction or something only possible in another world or eternity, but a real hope for this place and time. It is embodied in Jesus and flows from the simple fact that God loves the world. Join us in the sanctuary or on Zoom for our Wenesday evening Celtic service.

Commitment

EvenSong, Apr 30, 5:30pm

We are here because Jesus calls us. He calls us to discover depths and potentials within ourselves that are only found through commitment. We are to be committed to his person, but we are also invited to be committed to a style of life which represents on earth the qualities of heaven. Join us in the sanctuary or on Zoom for our Wenesday evening Celtic service.

Dear Saints in Santa Fe, and other far-off places: Greetings in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ! Coca-Cola tried to bring the world together in 1971 with a commercial. I would be surprised if you don’t remember it.  I preached a sermon on World Communion Sunday in 2013 (remember that?) and when I started to sing the song, the entire choir joined in and scarcely a beat later so did the congregation. I’d like to teach the world to sing.
