Rise Up Anew

February 26, 2023

Last Sunday we hear from Rev. Caroline Hamilton-Arnold from Week of Compassion, the General Ministry of the Disciples of Christ. Caroline's passion is connecting people with the creative, re-creative power of the living God through stories and faithful action, and she believes a life of faith is about becoming part of God’s ongoing work in the world. As the Associate Director for Domestic Disaster Response, Caroline helps Disciples in the United States and Canada prepare for and respond to natural disasters. She spoke about God's abundant hope and how we can rise up anew through the hands-on work through Week of Compassion. She shared the ways our generosity helps people around the world.

Palm Sunday

April 2, 2023 • Rev. Amanda Meade • Matthew 21:1–11

This week we celebrated Palm Sunday, Jesus' triumphant entry to Jerusalem, also a political satire of the traditional parades by Rome. His crowd was full of children, shouting, waving palms celebrating Jesus and the kingdom he was showing them was possible, a humble one where children are deeply valued. They saw him turn the tables on the current economic, religious, and political systems of the day for their protection, they also saw how the powers that be responded to that challenge. Our children are watching and listening to what we do and don't do for them and God's kingdom. Let's make sure we are also in the crowd following Jesus.

Grief and Good News

March 26, 2023 • Rev. Amanda Meade • John 11:1–45

We know we are getting close to Holy Week, when death is staring us in the face, like in the story of Lazarus. A story about how differently we each respond to grief and the good news, and how Jesus walks with us in our grief but continues to promise life with him too.

Seeing God's Glory

March 19, 2023 • John 9

This week we explored the story of the blind man being healed, and how everyone around him just wanted to point fingers and find out who to judge. What if instead, we spent our time, pointing at Jesus, in awe and wonder, seeing the light he brings to the world. How have we gotten to see God's glory, through Jesus in our own lives, in our church and in the world?
