Jesus Calling- Rev. Wallace Bubar- Feb 9,2025

Jesus Calling Luke 5:1-11 "But whether he’s calling us to go to the other side of the world, or the other side of town, or just the other side of the room, Jesus is still calling. Even today, still showing up on the lakeshore. Or in the classroom, or the lab, or the office. Still showing up. Still grabbing ahold of us. Still calling us to follow."

Grace by the Gallon- Rev. Wallace Bubar- Feb 2,2025

Grace by the Gallon John 2:1-11 "And the wine is the grace of God, poured out in abundance, made available to everyone. Wine to quench our thirst, and gladden our hearts. But also wine that promises to satisfy our deeper thirsts, by putting us into a life-giving relationship with God, and unleashing the wellspring of joy within us. "

Bring Your Bible- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Jan 26,2025

The last sermon from transitional pastor Rev. Wendy McCormick. Wendy preaches on Luke 4:14-21 and Nehemiah 8:1-10 "It is a challenging time to be God’s people, a time when we need the power and guidance of the scriptures more than ever. It is a change. It is a transition. But the overwhelming message is the continuity of the scriptures and the tradition of the people gathering to receive and interact with them."

Remember Your Baptism- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Jan. 12,2025

Isaiah 43:1-7 We’ve learned together over this year that transition is not one thing, a one-day happening as one person vacates this office and another person moves in. Transition is an ongoing process of moving from one place or state to another. In a way, we are always in transition from who we are to who we are becoming. Always. And our church is in transition from what it has been and what it is now, to what God is calling it to be. Still, we are in a stretch of a couple of years of more than the usual amount of transition. It’s a lot. Enter baptism.

Ephiphany- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Jan 5,2025

Ephesians 3:1-12 "What interests me and frankly touches me more than the how and when of holiday decorating and de-decorating is the why – the deep why – I can’t help noticing how powerful it is to hang lights against the darkness and how we have that in common with our most ancient pre-Christian ancestors as well as most other world religions. However post-modern we are, we still have a kind of primal need in these shortest days of the year to literally shine lights into the darkness, to warm ourselves against the cold, to cheer ourselves amidst the bleak darkness."

Advent 3- The Angel Visits Mary- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Dec 15, 2024

Luke 1:26-35; 46-55 "We have to wonder: Who is silenced in our world? To whom might such a great reversal grant a voice in our day? And what does it mean for those who have been silenced to not just speak up but to shout and sing?"

Advent 4: Joseph

Matthew 1:18-25 "This season we wonder what it means for us to honor tradition in ways that are forward-looking, risk-taking, bold, courageous, and, above all, following the beckoning lead of God? That’s how Matthew means for us to read the Christmas story and all of the Jesus story. How do we weave a path forward that honors and serves the God we know in scripture and tradition without getting caught up in minutiae and the letter of the law, without being so fearfully tied to traditions of the past and even the present that we don’t dare look forward."
