In Jesus’ Name
Today’s scripture passage invites us into a reflection on prayer. In this passage from Luke, Jesus teaches the disciples not only what to pray, but how to pray. What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name? And what difference does it make to have prayer woven into the fabric of our lives?
Duty Bound
Today we reflect on hospitality through the lens of Mary and Martha. What did Jesus mean when he told Martha that her sister had “chosen the better part” (ouch!) and what is the invitation he extends to his beloved friend, Martha… and to each one of us?
The People in Your Neighborhood
This week’s scripture passage invites us to reflect on the notion of neighbors! Who are our neighbors? How are we called to interact with them? How does Jesus put a rather extraordinary spin on these seemingly ordinary questions?
Peace Bearing
Today is outdoor church! Join use as we gather on this long Independence Day weekend to contemplate how Jesus sends his followers out into the topsy-turvy, sometimes hospitable, sometimes hostile world to be bearers of peace.
ALL in ONE and ONE in ALL
This 5th Sunday, we are honored to have Dr. Bill Harpur as our speaker. Bill shares his thoughts on unity through the lens of his life experience and faith. How are we all connected to each other and to God?
Rediscovering Courage
Today we come alongside the prophet Elijah who found himself exhausted and afraid in his quest to answer God’s call and carry out his particular ministry. How did Elijah find the courage to carry on?
Cherish: Ending Spiritual and Physical Hunger
Today Pastor Lori, Ken Brown, and Ron Jessee share updates on the Cal-Pac Annual Conference and reflections on this year’s theme, “Cherish.” What are concrete ways we can cherish those in our congregation and in the community around us?
What’s in a Name?
Today, Rev. Dan helps us explore the power of a name. What does it mean to “hallow” a name? Or to “profane” a name? Can a name describe not just a person but a relationship?
Grace upon Grace
Rev. Dan Meyer-Abbott guidess us through reflections on grace. What does it mean to receive grace? How can we be gracious to others?
Uncharted Waters
This week our text from Acts reconnects us to Paul and his ministry. He and his companions encounter folks, like Lydia, who enter into “uncharted waters” by way of their baptism. To what uncharted waters are we, as individuals and the church, being called today?
