LOUCC Podcast Lake Oswego United Church of Christ

We continue “Weaving Spirit and story to discern our way forward.” This week, we hear from the prophet Amos, who challenges us to consider how our worship connects to justice and generosity in our lives.

We continue our theme "Weaving Spirit and story to discern our way forward." This week we hear the story of King Solomon building a temple for God. We'll explore what it means to be the church--both in our building and beyond our building--as we reflect on this past year and a half and look to the year ahead.

We continue our theme "Weaving Spirit and story to discern our way forward." This week we hear the story of the call of David and read a psalm attributed to David. We listen for how God looks at humans hearts and calls us to live into our true, authentic selves.

We continue to explore our theme for 2021-2022 "Weaving Spirit and story to discern our way forward." This week we'll listen to the story of the call of Samuel. We'll explore how sometimes God calls us to both speak and to hear a word of truth, even if that truth is hard and even if that truth is directed to people or institutions we love.

We hear the story of God providing manna to God's people in the wilderness. We listen for how this story resonates for us today--both as people who are living in liminal times, but also as people called to participate in an economy of enough-ness, where we can help provide daily bread to others. We hear stories from our own LOUCC history and a sister congregation, as we consider how God is calling us to meet tangible needs today.

We continue in Year 4 of the narrative lectionary. This week we hear the story of the call of Moses. Hearing the cries of God's people, God responds by calling Moses into the work of liberation. Using Spirit and story, God invites Moses into a new way forward where he must live out his faith in his own generation. How can we open ourselves to Spirit and story as we listen for God's call in our lives?
