Living Life Through a Lens of Gratitude
Certified Lay Minister Dakota Koenig from UMC Vista brings us a message about living in gratitude.
Wandering Heart… And I Hope
Happy Easter! Today we contemplate HOPE… what that meant and how it came for Peter and what it means for us in the context of our lives and world.
Wandering Heart… Jesus Sought Me
As we explore Peter’s calling we’ll also reflect on the beginning of our faith stories. When and how did Jesus seek us? How are we responding to God’s call?
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Belovedness…
Today we celebrate Baptism of the Lord Sunday, reflecting on our belovedness, and baptizing several children of the church.
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Ritual…
Today we explore the relationship between rooting ourselves in holy ritual and the ways we bloom and blossom in and for the world..
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Hope…
On this fourth Sunday in Advent, we explore how music and singing supported “robust hope” for those who came before us, what it does for us today and how those tunes and melodies will support and transform generations still to come.
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Amazed…
Can we grow in our capacity to be amazed and to experience awe? How are awe and amazement related to joy?
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Connect…
Today on the second Sunday of Advent, we continue to contemplate the notion of how a weary world rejoices. What is happiness? What is joy and where does it come from? What part does connection with others play in joy?
How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Acknowledge…
What is joy? How do we receive it? Is it even possible in these difficult times? How does joy change us? How does it change the world?
Wait
Today is Ascension Sunday and we take a look at the account of the recently resurrected Christ being taken up or ascending to heaven. We don’t like to wait, but what if that’s how we become open to blessing?
