    The Miracle Begins with What's Empty. 1.11.26.

    We are delighted to welcome our guest preacher, the Rev. Dr. Victor Aloyo, President of Columbia Theological Seminary. Dr. Aloyo will be preaching on Jesus’ first miracle in the gospel of John, turning water into wine at the wedding party in Cana. “The Miracle Begins with What’s Empty” proclaims that in John 2:1–11, Jesus does not begin with abundance, but with the jars that have run dry, calling forth life where there seems to be none. This story invites us to trust that God’s transforming power often starts precisely at the point of exhaustion, turning emptiness into new life, joy, and possibility.

    Epiphany. 1.4.26.

    It’s Epiphany, our annual worship service with poetry, music, and Communion! We celebrate the extraordinary gift of poetry this Sunday, with readings in different poetic forms from poets across the world. This year, the readings will focus our attention on Jesus’ first 3 sayings in John’s gospel: “what are you looking for?,” “come and see,” and “follow me.”

    Advent 4: Earth. 12.21.25.

    In this Advent, we hear a set of 4 biblical stories that foreground the 4 elements of nature: fire, air, water, and earth. The creation itself appears to witness to and long for God’s arrival. We wait, with heaven and nature, for the joy that is coming to the whole world. The 4th Sunday of Advent is about the earth. In the first chapter of John’s gospel, every molecule of matter is imbued with divine purpose and presence–the earth itself awaits the fullness of Christ’s coming. Rev. Lewicki, preaching.

    Advent 3: Water. 12.14.25.

    In this Advent, we hear a set of 4 biblical stories that foreground the 4 elements of nature: fire, air, water, and earth. The creation itself appears to witness to and long for God’s arrival. We wait, with heaven and nature, for the joy that is coming to the whole world. The 3rd Sunday of Advent is about water. Isaiah invites us to “come to the water” to experience a vision of the world that God is ushering in. Rev. Lewicki, preaching.

    Advent 2: Air. 12.7.25.

    In this Advent, we hear a set of 4 biblical stories that foreground the 4 elements of nature: fire, air, water, and earth. The creation itself appears to witness to and long for God’s arrival. We wait, with heaven and nature, for the joy that is coming to the whole world. The 2nd Sunday of Advent opens us unto the air. We hear a story from Ezekiel, who shares a chilling and ultimately hopeful story about a valley of dead bodies brought back to life. By what? By wind, by breath, by Spirit. The air announces Christ’s coming. Rev. Lewicki, preaching.

    Advent 1: Fire. 11.30.25.

    In this Advent, we hear a set of 4 biblical stories that foreground the 4 elements of nature: fire, air, water, and earth. The creation itself appears to witness to and long for God’s arrival. We wait, with heaven and nature, for the joy that is coming to the whole world. Advent begins with fire. We hear a story from Daniel about 3 men whom an evil emperor tries to destroy in a fiery furnace. But God has other plans for these men, for the emperor, and for fire itself. Rev. Lewicki, preaching.

    A Plan. 11.23.25.

    Does God have a plan for your life? This Sunday, we gather around the words of the prophet Jeremiah, specifically chapter 29, where he writes to the people who are in exile in Babylon. Jeremiah speaks of God “having a plan” for those people. What, exactly, was that plan? And what lessons–what hope–can we draw from these words for today? Rev. Lewicki, preaching.
