PAST WORSHIP VIDEOS
In the month of November, we will focus on the Book of Jonah in worship. Jonah was a reluctant yet relatable prophet. God’s gracious and merciful nature upset him. He wanted God to be vengeful to his enemies. How often do we want God to enact our form of justice? Join us to examine this fascinating book in the Bible and make room for God’s mercy and grace.

WORSHIP VIDEOS on the theme of Christian Mindfulness
May 2— As we move into the theme of Christian mindfulness, we are focusing on creating space for us to sit with God. You will see pictures of our members’ sacred spaces. Scripture lesson is Gen 15: 9-18.
May 9— Worship today we listen for God’s still, small voice. There is a wonderful clip of Dr. Amy Oden telling us how to find God in something small. Scripture reading is from I Kings 19: 1-4 and 9-15.
May 16— In worship we read together Psalm 5 and practice a breath prayer.
May 23— In worship, we will read together Acts 17:26-28, a sermon by Paul to the Athenians. He focuses on our connection with and through God saying, “For in God, we live and move and have our being.” As a way to more fully ingest these words, Amy Oden will lead us in lectio divina with these verses of scripture.
May 31— This Pentecost, we read John 20:19-22 and open ourselves to receive the Holy Spirit. May the Holy Spirit transform our world with heaven’s electric power.
June 6— After a week of protests and division, we will focus on Jesus’ command to love one another. How in the world do we do that? Music by Mariann Searle.
June 14— This was our first Sunday back together. We worshipped outside in front of the church. Our scripture reading was I Thessalonians 5:12-18, sermon was called “Always, Continually, and In All Circumstances.”
