Seeing Jesus

March 14, 2021 • Rev. Dr. Mary Dennis

As we immerse ourselves in the annual Lenten pilgrimage to the cross, we can actually see Jesus on the journey with us. Which spiritual practices are most helpful for you to draw in closer relationship with God?

Love for All

March 21, 2021 • Revs. Erin & Matt McPhee

For God so loved the world ... that we are saved by grace, through faith, for good works! May this time of worship inspire us to celebrate God's love for all by sharing that love with all of our neighbors.

The Power of the Cross

March 7, 2021 • Revs. Erin & Matt McPhee

It may seem foolish to follow a Crucified Messiah, but the Power of the Cross is beyond our imagining! The heavens declare the glory of God, and so will we, as we trust in the wisdom of the cross.

Pick Up Your Cross

February 28, 2021 • Revs. Erin & Matt McPhee

On this Second Sunday of Lent, we consider what it means to follow Jesus to the cross. The artwork is used with permission and adapted from Ian M. Welch's series titled "Jesus Rebukes Peter," found at https://paramentics.com.

40 Days
