BLESSING IN GENESIS

March 13, 2022 • Zach Herzog • John 10:7–10, Genesis 1

Last week, Pastor Sara invited us to reimagine our origin story in the Bible not as “original sin” but as “original blessing.” This week, Intern Pastor Zach will take us through the Ancient Near East poetry of Genesis 1 as we consider God’s original blessing for creation.

EASTER SUNDAY

April 17, 2022 • Sara Wolbrecht • John 20:1–18

This weekend is The Weekend for us as Jesus-followers as we follow Jesus to his death - execution on the cross at the hands of Empire - and on into resurrection. We know this Easter story well, and yet, for this moment in which we live, how do we make sense of the suffering in our lives and our world? There is hope and joy to be received here, especially now! Invite a friend to join us online or in person and we will see you in the shadows of Friday night and in the glorious light of Resurrection Sunday!

PALM SUNDAY

April 10, 2022 • Bishop Shelley Wee • Luke 19:28–40

In the week ahead, Jesus will put our origin story of Original Blessing to the test, and into action as he makes his way to the cross and the empty tomb beyond it. It begins with Palm Sunday as we join the crowds in Jerusalem by waving our own palm branches and daring to hope in this Jesus, as we hear a sermon from ELCA Bishop Shelley Bryan Wee.

TRACING A THREAD OF BLESSING

April 3, 2022 • Sara Wolbrecht

This Sunday, in our journey through the theme of Blessing & Curse, we'll see how the story of God's people unfolds after Eve and Adam leave the Garden - tracing it all the way to Jesus' life and ministry! What do God's people do with the blessing God has given them? How do we see this echo into our lives today (or not!)? Don't miss this vital piece in our Lenten conversation leading us to Jesus' cross and resurrection, as we're together reclaiming our Original Blessing.
