Let's Begin with Prayer..‪.‬ Dustin Wilsor

The message of Resurrection, remembered in this Easter season, is a message of apocalyptic proportions. The Good News of the community of Love springs to life and begins to spread as Dustin begins to say goodbye.Sermon begins at minute marker 6:03John 5:25-29; Acts 5:12–16; 2 Corinthians 4:13–15Hymn: 478, I Come with Joy.

John 3:16 is much loved by many & much detested by many others. This Laetare Sunday, Dustin looks beyond verse 16 to find a way to rejoice it.Sermon begins at minute marker 7:20Song of Solomon 4.7-16; Psalm 135.1-16; 1 John 4.7-12; John 3.11-17ResourcesA Woman’s Lectionary for the Whole Church (Year W): A Multi-Gospel Single-Year Lectionary, Wilda C.

Elizabeth exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Who was the blessed woman, and what does it mean to be blessed in the first place? Dustin is an emerging Mariologist, and he walks us through the unfamiliar early life of Mary before Jesus as he explores what it means to be beloved and blessed by God, and the way he sees the SMC community fulfilling that blessing.Sermon begins at minute marker 4:53Genesis 17.15-22; Luke 1.39-45 Photo fro...

All Saints Sunday was a wonderful chance to eat together and share stories of our saints. We even got to make icons and hear part of the story of Ruth read out loud by four voices.
