  1. Our Money Story: Release

    -2 J

    Our Money Story: Release

    Today we continue the worship series, Our Money Story. Money and possessions are one of the most common topics in scripture—Jesus talked about money more than both faith and prayer. Because how we use our money—the way we choose to steward or spend it—is a deeply spiritual practice—it’s connected to what we think about God. Do we think God will provide? Do we think money is power or freedom or security or opportunity or control? Do we think that the money is ours because we worked hard for it, or do we think it’s God’s because everything we have is a gift from God? Our answers to all of these questions make up our money story—a story that has been written by our early experiences with money, and then shapes our beliefs and values surrounding money. Whether we realize it or not, we all have a money story. It might be a story of fear or shame, or a story that our actions won’t have an impact, or that we don’t have enough. The goal of this series is to give each of us an opportunity to pause and acknowledge the money story we’re living into and then wonder, “Is this story helpful?” and if not, “How might God be speaking a new narrative into our lives?” Last week, we began our series by remembering—by noticing our spoken and unspoken money stories and how those stories have impacted our relationship to money. This week, we’re acknowledging those parts of our story that keep us from freedom and wholeness, and practicing release.

    Our Money Story - Remember

    Today we begin a new series titled, Our Money Story. How we use our money—the way we choose to steward or spend it—is a deeply spiritual practice—it’s connected to what we think about God. Do we think God will provide? Do we think money is power or freedom or security or opportunity or control? Do we think that the money is ours because we worked hard for it, or do we think it’s God’s because everything we have is a gift from God? Our answers to all of these questions make up our money story—a story that has been written by our early experiences with money, and then shape our beliefs and values surrounding money. We all have a money story, whether we recognize it or not. Maybe it’s a story of fear or shame, or a story that our actions won’t have an impact, or that we don’t have enough. The goal of this series is not for me to tell you The Right Way to think about money. (Yes, I have my opinions, and they are in fact scripturally based.) However, I don’t know your circumstances—I don’t know your story. This series is meant to give each of us an opportunity to pause and acknowledge the money story we’re living into and then wonder, “Is this story helpful?” and “Where might God be speaking a new narrative into possibly the limited one we’ve told ourselves?” Today, we begin our series by remembering—by looking back at what our spoken and unspoken money stories have been and how those stories have impacted our practices of stewardship.

  3. The Good News is Alive In the World - Easter Sunday 2026

    The Good News is Alive In the World - Easter Sunday 2026

    The Good News is Alive in the World! “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers and sisters to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” - Matthew 28:1-10 Death cannot stop the good news. It is alive, unbound, and wild in the world. Like the mustard seed, it grows without limit. Like water turned into wine, it surprises us with joy. Like loaves of bread, it multiplies to feed each hungry soul. And now, even in the face of death, it will not be buried or silenced. Just as the angels in Advent, the angel at the empty tomb delivers good news: “Do not be afraid.” On the way to Galilee, Jesus greets the women with this same message, but adds: “Go and tell my brothers and sisters to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

    The Good News Is Inspiring Us To Act

    ​​Today is Palm Sunday—the last Sunday of Lent, and the beginning of Holy Week. Throughout Lent, we’ve been asking the simple yet powerful question: Where do we see good news? In a world in which we’re inundated with bad news, this question helps us return to the heart of Jesus’ teachings, and reminds us that the Gospel is good news! It’s the story of a God who loves humanity so deeply that God took on flesh and bone to be with us—a love so deep that even death cannot overcome it. And it’s a love that calls us into community: to care for one another, protect one another, and remind each other that we belong. Naming all that goodness reminds us that God is still at work, and it helps us remember that following Jesus isn’t meant to be passive—we are called to be messengers of God’s Good News right here and right now!

    Together The Impossible is Possible

    Today is the third Sunday of our Lenten series, “Tell Me Something Good.” Traditionally, Lent is a solemn time, focusing on repentance and fasting—preparing new believers for baptism on Easter. This year, though, we’re preparing ourselves for Easter in a different way—each week, we’re asking ourselves the simple yet powerful question: Where do we see good news? This question helps us to return to the heart of Jesus’ teachings, rooting ourselves in the goodness God desires for all creation, and reminding us that the Gospel is good news! The gospel is the story of a God who loves humanity so deeply that God took on flesh and bone to be with us. It’s the story of a love so deep and wide that even death cannot overcome it. And it’s the story of a love that calls us into community — to care for one another, protect one another, and remind each other that we belong. And naming all that goodness grounds us. It reminds us that God is still at work, and helps us remember who we are and what we are called to be: messengers of the Good News right here and right now! Today’s good news is that together, the impossible is possible.

    The Good News Is - You're Right Where You Belong

    Are you weary of the "bad news" cycle? This Sunday, guest speaker Rev. Ed Fasbaugh brings us a beautiful reminder that the Good News isn't about being perfect—it's about being loved. Whether you feel like you have it all together or you’re carrying a story that feels a bit messy, there is a place for you here. We’ll be celebrating Holy Communion, remembering that at Christ’s table, mercy is always the guest of honor.

  8. The Good News Is So Good It Catches Us By Suprise

    24 FÉVR.

    The Good News Is So Good It Catches Us By Suprise

    This first miracle of Jesus turning water into wine reminds us that God doesn’t just show up in mountaintop moments or dramatic miracles. But in kitchens, at tables, in conversations between friends, and in small acts of care. In the ordinary rhythms of life. So the invitation for us this Lent is simply this: pay attention.
