    Sept. 27, 2026 - The Story Cannot Be the Whole Story

    Rev. Brandon Nonnemaker, Ed.D. Ezekiel and Jesus challenge us to notice the stories we tell about ourselves, about others, and about the world—and to recognize when those stories might be excuses, blinders, or barriers to God’s work. Rather than remaining trapped in blame, defensiveness, or our expectations of how things should be, we are invited to ask, “What is mine to do?” God calls us to turn, become receptive to new life, and participate in God’s dream for all creation.

    Sept. 20, 2026 - Grounded in our common life

    Rev. Stuart Higginbotham, DMin Following the wisdom of Phillippians 2, we must empty ourselves and look past superficial narratives and our own projections. The foundations of our parish are incredibly strong, and that basic grounding supports us as we do the real spiritual work – Grown-up Church. How can we stay grounded in our complex world to do the work we’re called to do together?

    Outreach Ministry: Martha's Mustard Seed

    The Thanksgiving Feed: Serving Community in Gainesville-Hall County In this episode, host Bruce Leyton sits down with Martha Randolph, local business owner and community organizer, and Angela Middleton, president of the North Georgia Black Business Alliance, at the historic Harper Smith House in Gainesville, Georgia — the only Black registered historic home in the Hall County area. They discuss the Thanksgiving Feed, an annual tradition started 15 years ago that has grown from serving 250 people to over 2,000 meals each Thanksgiving Day. Martha and Angela share how the effort relies on a vast network of volunteers, corporate sponsors, and community groups — from the Omegas bringing their smokers to cook chicken all night, to Syfan Logistics donating cooler trailers, to longtime volunteers who return year after year knowing exactly what to do. The conversation also covers the Women Without Walls initiative, the late Martha Zoller's role as a catalyst, and the faith-driven motivation behind Martha Randolph's commitment to serving her community. Along the way, they reflect on what it means to be "a drop in the bucket" — and how those drops, together, fill the whole.
