Thank You for attending worship each Sunday and making us a vital space for all on the evolving journey of the Spirit. The following is a list of sermon scriptures and faithful themes.

September 5th: Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Communion Sunday, Worship: 10:00am
Scripture: Philemon 1-21
Sermon: "Creative Love"
Community life can expose us to some rather interesting scenarios. The question is never if we will get to handle the dirty laundry but when. Things were not different for the Apostles. Paul finds himself in the company of an escaped slave in a time when trying to escape slavery or stealing another man’s slave, carried with it the penalty of death. And the slave belongs to none other than one of his church pillars. In Paul’s letter we have evidence of highly creative and life-giving love.

September 12th: Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Rally Sunday !

Worship: 10:00am
Scripture: Luke 15:11-32
Sermon: "Coming Home"
In the story of the prodigal Son we have the opportunity to reflect on coming home. For some of us this means stepping into the house next door, for others this is like connecting the distant ends of the earth. As we return to worship after a busy summer we remember what home is all about.

September 19th: Twenty-fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time Visit by the Reverend Dr. Lynne C. Holden, Minister Emerita
Worship: 10:00am
Scripture: T B A
Sermon: T B A
Come join us this Sunday as we celebrate and Honor Rev. Dr. Lynne C. Holden our Minister Emerita. A reception will follow worship.

September 26th: Twenty-sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Women’s Fellowship Recognition

Worship: 10:00am
Scripture: Jeremiah 32:1-3a,6-15, Luke 16:19-31
Sermon:"God’s Economy"
In the midst of a shattering Babylonian Blockade, Jeremiah is led by the Spirit to purchase a barren patch of land. This act gives money to the former owner; his previously destitute cousin and may have helped to signal to others that the economy need not be as dead as the Babylonians would have wished. Throughout scripture we find that God, and not a few people of faith have made some rather surprising investments. These investments in the Spirit have lead to not just the extension of personal wealth but to a broadened horizon for the human family itself. The rising tide lifts all ships.
