Engaging the Ministry of Reconciliation

Worship, Sep 20, 8:30 & 11am

Consider Your Call

Worship, Sep 13, 9am

VIDEO. As we enter the fall, Pastor Ashley begins a new sermon series, Becoming the Beloved Community. The scriptures are from 1 Corinthians 1, where Paul urges the members of the Church at Corinth to reflect upon their calling by God, who has turned the world’s wisdom upside down in the cross of Christ. NOTE: We have one service this Sunday at 9:00am in the sanctuary and via livestream.

The Treasures of the Church

Worship, Sep 6, 10am

VIDEO. Do you feel scared and overwhelmed by the world’s violence, politics, divisions, uncertainty? What may feel new to us is not new to God’s people. Pastor Andrew leads us from the Apostle Paul imprisoned in Rome to Christians under siege in the 3rd century to understand what the Bible’s message is to today’s church and the faithful.

When God’s Prophet Burns Out

Worship, Aug 30, 8:30 & 11am

VIDEO. As Pastor Ashley concludes preaching on the famous stories of Elijah, we meet an exhausted, depressed and deeply afraid prophet, under a new threat by Queen Jezebel. But in the sound of sheer silence, we also meet God – a God who gives both Elijah, and us, what and who we need to keep going and answer God’s call.

Fear, Idolatry, and Faithful Resistance

Worship, Aug 23, 8:30 & 11am

VIDEO. As Pastor Ashley continues preaching on the stories of the prophet Elijah, we’ll hear the story of Elijah’s “Contest on Mount Carmel” as Elijah follows God’s call to confront the idolatrous King Ahab. As we do, we’ll consider where or how we can find the courage to engage in faithful resistance in the face of fear and widespread idolatry.

Lord, If It Really Is You…

Worship, Aug 9, 8:30 & 11am

VIDEO. Threat or Rescuer?  It’s been a wearying storm-tossed night for the disciples. A mysterious figure appears, walking on the choppy sea. Rev. Elizabeth Graham points out that like Peter, when we are in rough waters, fear often bullies our faith away, leaving us fishing for assurances and questioning what our heart knows.

Called To Be Stewards of the Mysteries of God

Aug 2, 10am, Sanctuary

VIDEO. This Sunday Pastor Andrew weaves together the wisdom of Job, the stewardship of creation, the mystery of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the magic of Narnia.
