November 15, 2015: Love Will Find a Way ®

Posted on November 15, 2015 | Pastor: Guest Speaker

This month the theme we’re exploring is: what does it mean to be a person of ancestry? A look at how this story in Luke 7:36-47 can teach us about the power of love, especially in times like these. Note: Our guest preacher, Pastor Lehman Bates, was the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church and a […]

November 8, 2015: Ancestry as Comfort ®

Posted on November 8, 2015 | Pastor: Rev. Alex McGee

Whenever we have to rebuild a new identity, or mend an old one, we may find clues in our ancestry. Perhaps this is why so many world religions seek to remind us, to comfort us, to reassure us: no, you are not alone. Rev. Alexandra McGee led our exploration this week. Order of Service

November 1, 2015: Ancestors’ Sunday ®

Posted on November 1, 2015 | Pastor: Rev. Erik Wikstrom

Posted on October 11, 2015 | Pastor: Rev. Alex McGee

October 4, 2015: What’s So Great About Letting Go?

Posted on October 4, 2015 | Pastor: Rev. Erik Wikstrom

This month we will be considering the theme: “What does it mean to be a person of Letting Go?” Everybody keeps saying that it’s important to be able to “let go.” “Let go and let God,” the 12 Step movement counsels. “Live free from attachment,” is advised in every major religion (and many “minor” ones as […]

September 20, 2015: Inviting Opportunities for Service

Posted on September 20, 2015 | Pastor: Rev. Alex McGee, Rev. Erik Wikstrom

This month we will be considering the question – “What does it mean to be a person of INVITATION?” One of the gifts of religious community is the opportunity to be of service to others, yet it is all too easy to be so focused on what we need ourselves that we can miss these […]
