Again I resume the long lesson

Our Lenten worship series is rooted in scripture and the Sabbath poetry of Wendell Berry; today’s worship focusing on John 3:1-17 & Wendell Berry’s poem VII, 1999, “Again I resume the long” (This Day, 201). Matt’s message invites our community to debunk exploiter’s exclusive and transactional readings of John 3.16 and to celebrate an inclusive and grace-inspired non-transactional way of hearing John 3.16 within its broader context.

The options are set before us in very clear and…

Pray Like This!
