Sermon: Building a Legacy
As we celebrate All Saints Day, we continue our 'Blessed to Be a Blessing' sermon series. Pastor Cara Scriven shares the complicated story of King Solomon, the building of the first temple in Jerusalem, and what it can teach us about ourselves, our world, and God.
Sermon: Telling A Different Story
In the second sermon in our 'Blessed to Be a Blessing' series, Pastor Melinda explores with us Elijah's encounter with the presence of God in silence and stillness. At a time when Elijah can only see fear and failure, God invites him into a story of hope and possibility.
Sermon: Say Yes!
In the first message of our new sermon series, "Blessed to be a Blessing," we consider the story of God sending Samuel to anoint a new king. Pastor Cara Scriven asks us to wonder what holds us back from saying "yes" to God.
Sermon: Pandemic Blessings
On this Laity Sunday, we will reflect on Samuel's call from God found in 1 Samuel, Chapter 3. Congregation members, Pat Carney and Bev Corwin, share with us the blessings they have seen in their own lives during this pandemic.
Sermon: Hidden Blessings
This week, Pastor Cara Scriven takes us further into Exodus (chapter 16) as Moses leads God's people out of Egypt and into the wilderness. Together, we will explore God's response to the Israelites who are grumbling about their situation and longing for what they know, and consider what this might mean for us today.
The Blessing of Relationship
This week we continue to discuss the blessings we have received. Pastor Melinda Giese leads us in exploring the beginning of the relationship between God and Moses, the blessings found in it, and what that can mean for us.
