You and I are a part of God’s ongoing story of creation. We, who are rooted in Christ, are empowered by God’s Spirit to branch out into the world touching people with God’s love and grace. This has implications on how we live in relationship with God, with each other, and with all the Earth.

A miracle is not only about the extraordinary. God’s miraculous love is often found in the mundane and normal of our everyday lives. Living in the spirit of the miraculous, people see God in nature, in relationships, in kind acts, and in the power of love.

Our lives as Christians are filled with questions: How are we invited to live as members of a faithful community? What does it mean to care for others? How can we embrace and share the beauty of the world we live in? The worship series this month, Come and Be, addresses these questions through scripture and the society of honey bees.

Our celebration of Holy Week and Easter is not just a recollection or remembrance of the central events of Christianity— it is a life-giving sacred sign of hope that is realized in our lives each and every year.

When I was a kid I loved to watch the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Charlie, overwhelmed, depressed, and discouraged by the commercialization of the season and the cruelty of friends cries out, “Does anyone know what Christmas is all about?”

October 2022 Pastor’s Letter

Dear Friends, the past few days have been difficult for many reasons. Storms literal as well as spiritual, physical, and emotional have been raging in so many lives. People are without power, food, water, and shelter. People are unable to travel to escape these conditions. As always, the suffering of the poor is made greater by lack of options and resources.
