The Hardest Part Week 2
LAMENT!: It’s okay to say, “This isn’t how it should be.” Lament is not weakness; it’s a holy act of naming the truth.

The Hardest Part Week 3
IMAGINATION!: “Seek the Lord while he may be found.” (Isaiah 55:6) What might happen if we began to see things through God’s eyes?

The Hardest Part Week 4
WISDOM!: “If you’re going through hell, don’t come out empty-handed.” What wisdom might God be offering you in the midst of life’s struggles?

The Hardest Part Week 5
LOVE!: Mary’s act of costly love reminds us: True love always asks something of us, but it multiplies far beyond what we can see.

The Hardest Part Week 6
LIVING!: Palm Sunday is a collision of joy and grief—shouts of “Hosanna!” ring out even as the shadow of the cross looms ahead.

Making Our Way Through the Wilderness
Isaiah 43:16-21
Ross Janovec
As we enter into a new year, saying goodbye to the past year along the way, there is room for any number of emotions to rise to the surface. In a lot of ways, a new year can feel like a wild space, full of potential, full of questions, and full of unknowns. As we enter the wilderness of a new year, we carry everything we have collected over the last year, whether it be joys, concerns, celebrations, or trauma. Which of these do we hold onto? Which of these things can we let go of? We will inevitably wrestle with these questions over the next 12 months. The hope in this new year is that God makes a way through these times of questioning in the wilderness, providing us a path out of the desert, a bridge through troubled waters, and shade when we are weary.


Hope is Worth the Risk
This Advent series imparts a feeling just as much as a message. It will hopefully feel like a warm blanket wrapped around us, giving us the courage to face the increased anxiety and intensity that an election season brings. It will bring us a feeling of standing on steady ground, a path for our feet to find as we step forward into the unknown of a new year. Finally, it will act as a soft whisper in our ears, reminding each of us of who we are and whose we are. It will feel like love. This season, may God’s all-embracing and steadying love be our companion.

What Kind of Power is this?
Matthew 25:31-46
For better or worse, Christianity has a long tradition of referring to Jesus as "king." These days, many of us are rightly suspicious of patriarchal and domination-based imagery, so images like this can rub us wrong. But is there something here that can be helpful in a time of political turmoil? What is the good news for those who are not very powerful, and for those who wonder whether they even make a difference? Is this image any use to The Land, as we seek to learn from the natural world and improve our corner of it? Eric will wrestle with questions like these, looking for good news about the power of humble efforts to make a positive difference.

Transgender Day of Remembrance: A Call for Reflection and Inclusion
By: General Board of Church and Society
As we observe Transgender Day of Remembrance, we commit to creating spaces of justice, inclusion, and affirmation.
If you are new to understanding gender identities or want to learn more about transgender and nonbinary experiences, here’s a great place to begin: Transgender 101
Every November 20th, the Transgender Day of Remembrance calls us to honor the lives taken by anti-transgender violence and to confront ongoing injustice. For the United Methodist Church, it is a moment to reckon with past exclusions, stand against the harm inflicted on the queer and trans community, and recommit to valuing every person as a beloved child of God.
As we live out the Social Principles, United Methodists call on “churches, governments, businesses, and civic organizations to do all in their power to combat such unjust treatment and to promote equal rights and protections for all.”
As we honor the lives lost, we must also envision and work toward a future where such remembrance is no longer necessary—a world that fully embraces every person’s inherent dignity and divine worth.

This is But the Beginning
This is But the Beginning
Mark 13:1-8
In a world touched by global conflict and struggles on the homefront, where does our hope lie? Join Rev. Lauretta this Saturday as she unravels the timeless wisdom found in Mark 13:1-8. Discover how God's plan unfolds even in our most challenging times, and leave inspired to spread hope in our ever-changing world.

Williams brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to building international bridges of relationship. Don't miss this opportunity to hear his inspiring stories of faith in action and learn how God is working through him in Argentina.

This unique event promises to expand your understanding of God's diverse creation and inspire a deeper connection to our shared humanity.

The Scariest Poem I Know
Esther 4:14 NRSVUE
This week, Pastor Lauretta will primarily examine the Marice Ogden poem "The Hangman." It is scary and, thus, absolutely perfect for Halloween. This week's message will contain a Halloween theme that is more frightening than any ghost story could ever be.
Forgive and Forget?
As a psychotherapist, Rev. Blair Buckley frequently explores the topic of forgiveness with clients to help them heal from their past. Is it as easy as forgive and forget, as the saying goes? Anyone who has tried to forgive a great hurt, however, knows that things often don’t feel that simple. When it feels someone has truly wronged us, it’s not always easy to forgive them. This week we’ll delve into this invitation for forgiveness in light of the call to live a new life in Christ.
Rich in Love: Redefining Wealth in the Kin-dom of God
Mark 10:17-31
In Chapter 10 of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus invites to consider what it means to enter into the Kin-dom of God. It's an entrance we cannot buy our way into, but rather love our way through. The Kin-dom of God is for all of us, where indeed we will know riches beyond imagining, where we will know that love is enough.

Blessing of the Pets
You are welcome to bring your furry friends and/or a photo of them to worship this Saturday for a blessing of the pets. We will honor their very real and positive impact on our lives while also remembering and thanking those who have already passed over the rainbow bridge. Animal-friendly communion will be served during the service, as they, too, are welcome at the table. We look forward to hearing all the joyful noises of furry friends this weekend!
