When there is a financial crisis, what do we tend to do? PANIC! It's tempting to lose control in times where we feel like we have no control. What do we do? We turn to faith. Through knowing we are enough and can have enough, God is with us in times of crisis.

Featuring: Rev. Emily's magical abilities to make the roof leak at exactly the right moment

Enough Week 2: Nonanxious Urgency

October 15, 2023

Anxiety is real. So many of us deal with worries and fear connected to the uncertainty of the future and regrets from the past. Anxiety has a powerful way of both paralyzing us and driving us to make poor choices. When anxiety reigns, it is a tyrant, and we’ve all felt the effect of its dictatorial rule. Is there a balance between healthy anxiety that fuels us to be productive and unhealthy anxiety that controls our lives? That’s where nonaxious urgency comes in; that we can address the needs we have without being controlled by panic and fear. And that can be found in our faith. Jesus helps us to live authentically and truly to who God calls us to be. Jesus’ love offers us freedom and rest from anxiety. When our quest for security and certainty leaves us wanting and afraid, Jesus teaches us that the truest security to be found is in knowing God. Easier said than done, right? Let’s learn how together.

Enough Week 1

October 8, 2023 • Rev. Eileen, Judith Scarborough, Noel Stout

What does it mean to be enough? What does it mean to have enough? When can we be enough? We know that God is enough and God believes we are enough. In this new worship series, we are exploring what it means to live a life of simplicity and generosity, through joy and meaning making. Rev. Emily was on vacation, so the worship team created this marvelous service! Thanks to Rev. Eileen M. Johnson, Judith Scarborough, Jacqueline Corl-Seidel, and Noel Stout.
