Luke 2:1-20| It’s a story that many have heard before: the story of Christ’s birth. In all, it’s a pretty simple story. But when we lean in close, and take a look at this thing that has come to pass, even in the simplicity of this year’s Christmas celebrations, perhaps we will see something profound…indeed, something that might seem too perfect to be true. Join us as we kneel in adoration of our Lord and Savior, partake in the sacrament, and gather our light together. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.

Christmas Eve Worship Bulletin

Luke 1:26-55 | In one annunciation – one message from the divine – Mary’s world was completely changed. And yet, she accepted God’s call to her, trusting the work of her Lord within her, and trusting that God was leading her, and her people toward his promises. Though perhaps not like Mary, we likely have also experienced news that has changed the course of our lives – sometimes unexpectedly! Join us for worship as we consider our response to God’s call to us, and as we look toward the manger, where God’s promises will be given to us…causing the whole world to turn.

Advent 4 Worship Bulletin

John 1:6-8, 19-28 | As John pointed the way to the coming Light – Jesus Christ, it’s clear the Pharisees and priests didn’t quite get it. Standing right in thier midst was the one who would deliver them, but they missed it because they were distracted, and focused on the wrong questions…and the wrong guy. Today, as we prepare for the coming of Christ, now we are challenged to consider what distractions hinder us from living in the joy of the Lord. Our God, Emmanuel, is coming to us; and indeed, our God has come to us. But have we cleared the way, and made room for him to come and dwell?

Advent 3 Worship Bulletin

Isaiah 40:1-11 | Even amidst uncertainty, the Israelites were given a message of comfort and hope by the prophet Isaiah. Still today, our God offers us the same message of comfort and hope and invites us to join with Him in preparing the way for his coming among us. Join us for worship as we offer our praise for God’s continued faithfulness and go forth as agents of God’s kingdom. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.

Advent 2 Worship Bulletin

Mark 13:24-37 | Though seemingly odd to hear from Jesus just prior to his death as we begin the season of Advent, our Gospel for this week points to Jesus’ plea for the disciples to “keep awake,” lest they miss the work of God among them. But what about us? Have we always stayed awake to God at work among us? And what about God at work IN us? Join us for worship as we begin the season of Advent and consider our call, as people who dream, to keep awake. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.

Advent 1 Worship Bulletin

Matthew 25:31-46 | “Jesus is Lord.” It’s a statement of faith that many have likely heard before. But what would it be like, for all of us, to live as though this central claim was really true? How might it change our lives and our world? Join us as we proclaim the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord and King, and as we are sent to embody his kingdom in the world.

Christ the King Worship Bulletin

Matthew 25:14-30 | Especially at a time such as this, it may be easy to live in fear. But even in our fear, our Lord seeks us out and frees us to live as children of his grace. But now that we’ve been freed from fear, how are we to live? Join us as we explore our call to live as children of the light as we await the fulfillment of God’s kingdom on earth.

Pentecost 24 Worship Bulletin

Amos 5:18-24 | Faith and life. We “know” that the two are supposed to coexist together. But often, within our society, the two easily become separated. So then, how are we to live as worshippers of Jesus Christ in the world today? Join us as we are filled with the grace of Christ, fueling us for the journey ahead, and as we consider what it means to let our lights shine as a bold and public witness to God’s justice and truth.

Pentecost 23 Worship Bulletin

Revelation 7:9-17 |Each year, the church pauses to celebrate All Saints Day – a day in which we remember those saints who have gone before us, and those who have been added to our fold. But this year, All Saints Day seems to hold an even deeper meaning. All around, we have been immersed in the reality of death, suffering, and injustice. This weekend, with the whole church, we allow ourselves to recall the deaths of those close to us, and the reality of death around the world. And from that place of remembrance, having gathered around the cross, we go forth as saints into the world. Join us, as we pause, remember, and refocus our lives according to the truth of Christ’s resurrection. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.

All Saints Sunday Worship Bulletin

Psalm 46 |A little over 500 years ago, the Reformation was in full swing in Europe. But at the time, the people didn’t know exactly what society, let alone the church, was going to look like after everything calmed down. Instead, what they saw was a bunch of changing and shaking of things they had known to be true for centuries. Today, in 2020, we are living in another reformation moment. Right now, what we see may appear to be a bunch of changing and shaking, perhaps for no odd reason. But even now, God is doing something, reforming and reshaping the world to reflect more clearly God’s kingdom on earth. Join us as we remember Christ as our solid rock, no matter what happens, and commit ourselves to heed the call of God’s Spirit.
