We make room

Luke’s Gospel tells us that when Mary gives birth to Jesus, she lays him in a manger, for there was no place for them in the guest room. Scholars argue about where, exactly, the birth occurs—and why. Was it in a stable or the living room of a simple peasant home? Was Bethlehem teeming with visitors who were also there to be counted in the census? Was Joseph’s family inhospitable because they disapproved of his marital situation? Regardless of where…

Chosen Home

Home is not necessarily a place, but where we find authentic belonging. Worship is rooted in the story of a young Jesus straying from his birth family after the Passover to dwell in the Temple. Matt’s message invites reflection on Jesus’ adolescent journey toward belonging and the long journey to belonging of activist and scholar bell hooks in hopes that we might all come to know in the depths of our bones that our true home is found in God.…

The lives of Lawrence and others have been changed and they are experiencing deep joy…

First Sunday of Christmas

Linda’s message on this First Sunday of Christmas is rooted in the story known as the “slaughter of the innocents” from Matthew 2:13-23.  Soon after the birth of Jesus, Herod, wanting to preserve his own power, called for the murder of all boys under the age of 2. How might this ancient story speak as we seek to hold God’s promise of hope with the suffering that is carried out by those who hold power today?
