Maundy Thursday 2026

Join as we gather to remember the Passover meal where Jesus gathered with his disciples for a “last supper” and gave them a new commandment, “to love one another.”

The Good News Is… Great Love for God and Neighbor

We continue our Lenten sermon series… The Good News Is…! This week we explore a central component of Christ’s good news:  great love for God and neighbor. It sounds simple but, the more we try to live it out, we find it requires our attention and intention!

Strange Glory

Transfiguration Sunday is observed on the last Sunday before the season of Lent begins.  What is the takeaway from this mountaintop experience for the disciples and for us?  What might we learn about the nature of God’s glory, not only on the mountaintop, but also on the dusty paths back down into the valley?

Stay Salty

We continue in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, shifting from Jesus’ description of God’s realm to instructions for those who follow Jesus. In this passage, Jesus calls his followers “salt of the earth” and “light of the world,” imploring them to be more righteous than the religious leaders of that day. What does it mean for us to be “salt” and “light” and how does that relate to being “righteous” in today’s world?
