Reverend Rachel Heyduck kicks off our summer series, "Checked or Carry-On? What are you doing with your baggage?" by taking us into the discomfort or life and growth.

Sermon for Senior Sunday. Scripture Philippians 4.4-9

This week's lesson is about Jesus calling Peter to follow him. Before it gets to that, though, Jesus tests Peter patience a little. Maybe. We don't really know. But we do know they had met before and that Jesus apparently came across to Peter as trustworthy.

The most basic truth of relationships is that we ALL need connection. This week's scripture, Luke 2.22-40, reminds us that Jesus' family, and Jesus himself, share this same need with us.

The hardest part of forgiveness might be that Christians are responsible for letting the world know the good news of God's forgiveness of sins.

We present a straightforward, easy to follow process for forgiving someone.
