Reminders

This Sunday the lectionary readings continue in “Jesus’ farewell discourse.”  Some of you may be thinking… “Hey, didn’t we just celebrate Easter? Why are we back to talking about Jesus’ words to his disciples right before his death?” And what does the word “abide” mean here? Good questions!

Finding Our Way

This week’s text from John brings us alongside Philip and the other disciples as they begin to face the idea of “life after Jesus.” Jesus spoke words of reassurance and instruction to the disciples and to us today… helping us to remain grounded in Christ while navigating life in uncertain and difficult times.

Coming and Going

This week’s scripture reading from John draws our attention to Jesus as “the shepherd” as well as to Jesus as “the gate.” How do we hold these two images together? In what ways do those images challenge us and how do they lead us, in the gospel writer’s words, to “abundant life?”

While You Walk Along

Have you ever had one of those “lightbulb” moments? Have you ever wondered what that “lightbulb” moment was like for the disciples after the Emmaus road? Think about that Emmaus experience from Luke 24 as we prepare for guest preacher Adam Marshall on Sunday.

Yes / And

Easter is more than a day… it’s a season!  Join us this Sunday as we move into the season of resurrection and new life, gathering with Jesus, Thomas and the other disciples amid fear and doubt, to receive Jesus’ words of peace, presence and promise.  Our guest preacher is the Rev. Lesley Brogan.

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.”
