Spanning Generations
IMAGO DEI—the centrality of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our Christ Tradition. While traditional depictions of God center on cisgender white male images, we will explore the multiple images of God that we see when we look into the mirror. We are all created in God’s image, so God’s image includes all of our reflections. We will focus on who we are as followers of Jesus and how we carry on his mission. We will revisit the story of the…
Clothed in Christ, Not Uniformity
This week’s title is “Clothed in Christ, Not Uniformity” – based on Galatians 3:23-29. In a current socio-political climate that spreads the false narrative that diversity is divisive, the gift of this passage from Paul is (surprisingly) that oneness in Christ breaks down binaries to offer a mosaic rather than a melting pot – retaining diversity and difference while also finding a new oneness.”This is the third in a four-week worship series on the centrality of DEI in our Christ…

Grief & Hope
Grief is a healthy response to Jesus’ death and a valid way to enter worship on Easter morning. And yet, the women at the empty tomb are given hope amidst their mourning. The other disciples don’t believe the women’s message, but Peter, living in the in-between of grief and hope, runs to the tomb to see for himself. Grieving doesn’t have to make us hopeless. Hope can compel us to take action when we are deep in grief. Worship online…
Acceptance & Resistance
Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between. This worship series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. As Jesus dies on the cross, one thief resists him and the other accepts him as Messiah. Jesus resists the empire but accepts his fate. We also are called to resist systems of power and oppression, and yet we ultimately have to accept…
Shouting & Silence
Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between. This worship series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Pastor Matt’s message invites reflection on Luke 19.29-40. Jesus doesn’t instigate his own parade. Instead, just his quiet presence alone inspires the multitude to shout out and praise God. When the religious leaders try to silence the crowd, Jesus tells them that the…
Righteousness & Mercy
Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between. This worship series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Pastor Matt’s message invites reflection on Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus in Luke 19.1-10. The crowds grumble at Jesus’ self-invitation to stay with Zacchaeus, and their righteous indignation isn’t without cause. As a tax collector, Zacchaeus has extorted money and acted in collusion with…
Lost & Found
Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between. This worship series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Pastor Matt’s message invites reflection on a parable from Luke 15.1-7 which is often called the Parable of the Lost Sheep. Who in this story is really lost? Who is found? Where might we be on the continuum between lost and found? Worship…
