Examined Lives

Today, we grapple with Jesus’ story of the (self) righteous religious leader and the penitent tax collector. This account appears simple on its exterior but invites us into the complexities of how our faith calls us to look both outward and inward with deep compassion.

Fulfilling Your Ministry

Today, our Lay Leader and Church Council Chair, Ken Brown, guides us in finding our path and becoming equipped to fulfill our ministries in these complex times. On Laity Sunday, we celebrate the significant role that every member of our congregation plays in the life and mission of the church. Each person’s unique gifts and service are vital to fulfilling the ministry that God has entrusted to us all.

We gather to celebrate the remarkable life of our sister in Christ, Marina Marsh.

Who Will Tell?

Today, join Rev. Lesley Brogan as we explore together the story of the “Healing of the 10 lepers”… but only one comes back to say thank you. “Your faith has made you well.”  What’s in a healing?  Is it from the outside-in or the inside out? “Your faith has made you well.” Who turns back to say thanks, to tell the story?

Rekindle

Today we meet Timothy, a young minister in the early church who experienced ups and downs in his life of faith. Perhaps like us, Timothy struggled as he navigated paths of suffering and uncertainty.How might Timothy’s story connect with ours? And what can we learn about faith, hope and resilience from this snippet of correspondence between Timothy and his mentor?
