Sunday Worship @ 9:30 for one more week

By
September 8th & 9th
Kick-Off Weekend
Fall Worship Schedule Begins

Weekly Saturday Worship at 5:00 pm.


We return to our weekly service of Holy
Communion for the upcoming program year.
This service is more intimate and a little less
formal with more spoken liturgy and monthly
appearances by our acoustic group, Soulful
Strings. We always look forward to Saturdays
when they lead us in worship. Holy Communion
is always offered on Saturday nights. As we
begin a new program year together, begin to
think about family members, friends, co-workers,
and neighbors who could benefit from Saturday
worship, especially those who have work or
sports on Sunday and need a Sabbath with the
Word. Also, think about those who may have
medical issues that make mornings difficult or
those who are returning to the church and
looking for something different. Growth
opportunities abound.

9:30a.m. ~ Kick-Off Sunday
"God's Love Is Constant"
A simple but celebrative worship gathering,
including songs with our Sunday School
children and times of blessing for our children
and teachers as we start a new year of mission
together. Please make every effort to be with us
this day as we will set the tone for much that
awaits us in an exciting year ahead. Following
worship the young and the young at heart are
invited to join us for soft pretzels and water ice!
Come join us as we reconnect at the end of
summer and rejoice in God's abundant gifts in
our lives.

8:15 & 11 AM Worship resumes September 16th

Opportunities for Growth

By
Dear Friends,
    There are several learning opportunities coming up in week ahead that I wanted keep on your radar. - "Aslan on the Move" :  This Sunday (downstairs in Jerusalem Room)  at 9:30 AM we gather together for a presentation / discussion based on Christian themes found in the C.S. Lewis classic, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."   This gathering will continue through November 24.  Anyone from high school students to senior citizens are welcome to attend.  Join us and be enriched in faith.  - "Lunch Bunch Bible Study" - We gather each Thursday at noontime in St. Andrew's Hall to look a little deeper at the assigned bible texts that will be proclaimed the upcoming Sunday.  We provide coffee and printed out texts.  You are free to bring Bibles and a bagged lunch if you wish.  People who rarely take part in Bible Study have become a part of this group and have found it very helpful in their walk of faith.

An Easter Prayer

By
Holy and Living God, You continue to confound  our expectations and surprise us with your redeeming power in our lives.  Come among us, risen Lord.  Reveal yourself to us that we may know with confidence that nothing in all creation, not even death, can separate us from your love.  In Jesus' name.  Amen. A word of thanks to all of you who offered your hearts and hands and voices to a deeply moving Holy Week and a joy filled celebration of the Resurrection.  It was exciting to see an increase in attendance at special services throughout Lent and Holy Week this year, especially among those who are newer to our faith community. Many hearts were touched and lives were lifted up through the celebrations of this past week. We are truly blessed. Continue to pray for those who were unable to be with us on Sunday, the sick, the struggling, the hospitalized, the homebound, and the dying.  Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, especially those who …

Lord's Prayer

By
Dear Friends,

This Sunday in worship our Gospel lesson is Luke 11:1-13.  In my message, I will be focusing chiefly on this rather strange parable of Jesus.  However, this is also the text where on e of Jesus' disciples says, "Lord, teach us to pray" and Jesus introduces what would become known as the Lord's Prayer.  While this will not be a primary focus on Sunday, I thought I would share with you below a reflection by Christian writer Brian McClaren bringing fresh meaning to a prayer that has become so familiar that, unfortunately, it can become rote and uttered with little meaning or reflection.  I hope that you will find this helpful for your own time in prayer.  And who knows?  It may even show up sometime in a worship service.
A Spoken Version of the Lord’s Prayer
This rendering of the Lord’s prayer uses unfamiliar words and phrasing to help us actually hear its message rather than lapsing into an auto-pilot recitation. You can use it in public worship by having …
