North Porch Says “Thank You!”

During the summer we collected baby supplies for mothers and infants in need served by North Porch as part of our Summer Baby Shower.  We blessed them all on Sunday, August 17th, and they were delivered to North Porch, who were so grateful for the donation.

“It Will For That One”

September 28, 2014: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. On a sunny morning like this, I am reminded of a story about another sunny Sunday…. William heard the all too familiar voice coming from the bedroom door, “William, it’s Sunday. Time to get up! Time to get up…

“Are You Gonna Eat That?”

September 14, 2014 (Welcome Back Sunday): May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Today we celebrate – sometimes not so joyfully – our move from the beaches, parks, and campsites to the schoolyards, classrooms, cubicles, offices and (hopefully very joyfully) – church and all the regular church programs. Now,…

Fall Adult Forums Begin

We begin our Adult Forums, which happen several times throughout the church year, with a wonderful selection of topics this Fall.  All Adult Forums are on Sundays, and go from about 12pm-1pm in the Coursen Room, so stop by coffeehour for a bit, and then come over to engage with others on topics that interest…

“Will We Default?”

September 7, 2014: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. What a summer it has been! In a sense, this is Welcome Back Sunday for me, returning from a two week staycation of sorts, and I look forward to what the next few weeks has in store for us…

“It’s A Dog’s World”

August 17, 2014:  May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. “Oh, how good and pleasant it is, when [we] live together in unity! This verse from today’s Psalm, links our scripture readings beautifully, I think (well with a change to inclusive language anyway): “Oh, how good and pleasant it…

“Walk Across My Swimming Pool”

August 10, 2014:  May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Oh, I sooooo wanted to preach today on the Hebrew lesson.  I mean, the story of Joseph is, like the stories of Jacob, Hagar, Abraham and others, filled with all sorts of family drama, ironic twists, and prophetic witness. …
