7/19/2026 In Christ

Our guest minister this week is Rev. Boyd Lien who says, "A question from StoryWorth has set me to thinking about my growing understanding of Jesus: 'What have you changed your mind about over the years?' It seems similar to the thoughts that Paul expressed in his letter to the Philippians when he wrote, 'For I have learned to...' and 'I have learned the secred of....' What does it mean to call Jesus the Christ? After all, Christ is not Jesus' last name, it is so much more."

8/12/2026 Do You Hear What I Hear

Our guest preacher this week is Rev. Ed Rees.  In the parable of the sower, Jesus says:  “He who has ears, let him hear. “ (Mt.13:9) We all have ears; what’s he talking about? It’s common for us to hear what someone is saying without truly listening and understanding what they mean. What’s at risk when we hear God’s word but don’t let it penetrate our hearts? What are the signs that we have genuinely understood what the Lord is saying to us? How do we invite others to listen for God’s voice?  Rev. Rees shares this topic in this week's message.

6/5/2026 Come, Take, Learn

This week, Pastor Rosy Robson McCreary, tells us "By the time we gather for worship on Sunday morning, the fireworks will have faded but God's invitation remains. This Sunday, we'll hear Jesus' words, 'Take my yoke upon you...and you will find rest for your souls,' as we gather around the communion table to receive Christ's grace. After your holiday weekend celebrations wind down, join us for worship and discover the deep rest that only Christ can give."

6/28/2026 Miracles & Signs

This Sunday we're going to talk about miracles. Our guest minister this week is Nadine Ellsworth Morgan.  Miracles--Big ones, small ones, the kind that dazzle and the kind that we sometimes miss entirely. It's the miracle that draws us in, but is it the most important thing? What is God really doing here?  As we turn together, particularly to 2 Kings 4, we'll see that the entire chapter is one extraordinary thing after another. 

6/21/2026 Turn on the Light

This week our guest minister is Rev. Tray Robertson.  "I'm excited to worship with you this Sunday. During the service, we'll hear and embrace God's Word, stop seeking additional signs, and respond to the light He has already shown us. Maintain your spiritual clarity through prayer. By doing these, God will guide our steps, strengthen our faith, and fill our lives with His light. My family and I look forward to fellowshipping with everyone as this will be my son Matthias's first Father's Day and celebrating fathers and father figures."

6/14/2026 Waiting on Sunday

This Sunday we will talk about the biggest villain in the Bible: Judas. Our guest minister, Becky DeLecuona, asks kind of person was he? Why would he betray Jesus? And what can we learn from his story?Join us for an unusual look at an easily dismissed but nevertheless important Biblical character.

6/7/2026 A Faith With A Body

In worship, guest pastor Rosy Robson McCreary, explores the connection between our faith and our bodies as we read stories of healing in Mark 5:21-34 and celebrate the sacrament of communion. A few years ago, on a trip to Israel/Palestine, I saw this story illustrated on a massive painting (15 feet by 6 feet!) in a chapel in Magdala. The painting is entitled "Encounter," and it's by a Chilean artist named Daniel Cariola. I'll tell you a bit more about this painting and my experience viewing it on Sunday. 

5/31/2026 God's Love Overflowing

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday. The doctrine of the Trinity goes back to the earliest days of Christianity. Much ink and even some blood has been spilled over it through the centuries. As guest minister Becky DeLecuona tellsl us, today, many of us would be hard pressed to explain it.This Sunday we will look at what this metaphor can tell us about God and our relationship with God. We will celebrate God as Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit through our Scripture readings and our hymns.

5/24/2026 Requests and Receipts

Our special guest minister for this Sunday is Rev. Amy Hobby Rickard.  As she tells us this week we will celebrate Pentecost, sometimes called the birthday of the church universal because of the story in Acts 2 when the disciples received the Holy Spirit in the presence of the crowds in Jerusalem. But did you know there was an earlier time when church leaders received the Holy Spirit, when the Israelites lived in the wilderness under Moses' leadership? Together we will consider what happens when we ask God for something, and receive a response that may or may not be what we anticipated. When the Holy Spirit is involved, it's sure to catch our attention!

5/17/2026 From Disciples to Apostles

This week our guest speaker is Rev. Rosy Robson McCreary who fills the pulpit while our co-pastors, Katelyn and Andy Cooke begin their sabbatical.  This Sunday, we’ll hear the story of Jesus’ ascension and stand with the disciples in the space between wonder and calling, asking what it means to follow the risen and ascended Christ. While Katelyn and Andy have been officially sent out into a season of sabbatical, we will reflect on what it means for all of us to be sent out as Christ’s witnesses in the world (sabbatical or not).
