An iPhone incoming phone call image, text reads “God is calling” - with answer/decline phone icons
By Rev. Joann Lee October 12, 2025
Perhaps it was destiny, child, that Samuel heard God's voice calling his name in the night. God called him during a time when "The word of the Lord was rare" and "visions were not widespread." We live in similar times. In "Say My Name, Say My Name" Part 1, we learned God's name. In "Say My Name, Say My Name" Part 2, we
A sunset with a colorful bird graphic over it, text reads ‘the manna season’
By Rev. Dr. Anna Carter Florence October 5, 2025
This story from Exodus 16 contains one of the best-known miracles in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible: when Moses and the people have no food to eat in the wilderness, God sends the miracle of manna to be their daily bread. The people eat that manna for the next forty years, as God sustains them throughout their wilderne
Moses and the Burning Bush - Keith Haring 1985
By Rev. Victor Floyd September 28, 2025
Perhaps it was destiny, child, that drew Moses toward that burning bush. There he learns God's name. Let's remove everything that separates us from holy ground and listen together for a new divine revelation.
A desert with a lone rock - the text reads “to remember when waking”
By Rev. Marci Glass September 21, 2025
Do you remember your dreams? There are mornings we wake up and wish we could return to the narrative of our dreams, even as the details fade away. No matter how hard we try, we just can’t return to that particular dream story. It would be easier to grab hold of a cloud or catch a shadow. There are mornings we wake up
An engraved imaged of the angel sparing Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac. Germany, 1860.
By Rev. Joann Lee September 14, 2025
The horrifying story of the binding of Isaac by his father Abraham is rightfully troubling to modern readers. Perhaps back then and still today, it challenges us to ask: "What have we sacrificed on the altar of religion, believing it was the 'right thing to do?'" Join us on Sunday as we grapple with one of the most cha
A cloudy sky during a sunset with the text ‘and it was good’
By Rev. Marci Glass September 7, 2025
As we begin a new program year, we'll start at the very beginning. In the Book of Genesis, God creates the world. Humanity one of God's many and marvelous creations. How does our createdness inform our life together in community, with each other, with the other acts of God's creation?

Geese in a V Formation
By Rev. Marci Glass August 24, 2025
Song of Songs is a book of erotic poetry, neatly tucked into the middle of our Old Testament. How'd it get there? What might it have to say to us today? Join us for worship as we talk about this adult book, in a way that is appropriate for all ages.
Geese in a V-formation flying in the sk
By Rev. Joann Lee August 17, 2025
Through ancient rhythms of growing and dying, giving and receiving, losing and saving, holding and letting go, God created a pattern and a season for the world. Times for work and times for rest were included in that first creation story. We live, however, in a time when the lines between work and play, busy...
A bunch of geese in the sky flying in formation, text reads
By Rev. Marci Glass August 10, 2025
Our scripture passage from the Book of Proverbs talks about the place of Wisdom in God's creation, and in God's creating. Wisdom is often a gift we receive later in life, and can feel somber to us, because of how long it took us to learn her lessons. But Wisdom is a joyful character in scripture, delighting in the worl
