    3 DAYS AGO

    What is Advent?

    From the haze of “oh gracious what is happening” Mitch and Caitlyn bring you a discussion on “What is happening with Advent?” They reflect on what Advent is, what is meaningful in the season for them, how to live faithfully in the church calendar to unwrap all the treasures of our seasons. And then Mitch stakes a hard claim on which chocolate calendars are correct.

    GUEST SERMON: the Leavening of Grace feat. Oliver Hartner

    Oliver Hartner - environmental activist, writer, and veteran - preaches from his soul, telling personal stories of growing up in the prejudices of the deep South, even in the church, but how that same church and the Eucharist gradually transformed him. He explains his understanding of Jesus's teaching about his body and blood, emphasizing the sacrament's importance in recognizing God's presence in all creation, combating evil, and awakening love within us. Ultimately, Oliver bids us to see God's presence everywhere and rely on the Eucharist as spiritual nourishment in our battles against the evils we face.

    Bread for the Spirit feat. lay preacher Christi Mahon

    Christi Mahon joins our lay preaching series this week. Her sermon braids together stories of her love of bread throughout her life but also its complicated position within diet culture, even though it has been the sustaining lifeforce since the ancient generations. We often substitue a million other things in search of what gives us life, but in Jesus we find all that is essential, first, and sustaining. This sermon will nourish your soul.
