Bible Study: Gospel of Luke

August 29, 2018 by Rev. Debbie Clark

Wednesdays, September 12 and 26 Last year, the Wednesday evening Bible Study group began an in-depth study of Luke’s gospel.

Luke’s gospel brings special attention to Jesus’ concern for the […]

Sheltered and Nourished

August 19, 2018 by Rev. Debbie Clark

Psalm 121 Imagine that we are walking through an old growth forest in the Bavarian region of Germany. It’s kind of like the forests we may have envisioned as children when we heard the stories of Hansel and Gretel or Little Red Riding Hood.  There are giant deciduous trees–maybe beech–with broad canopies of leaves above […]

Reclaimed

June 3, 2018 by Rev. Debbie Clark

Genesis 1:26-31; Matthew 25:31-40 “Someone once said that Jesus began the most revolutionary movement in human history.

From Sea to Shining Sea

Rhythm of Change

May 24, 2018 by Rev. Debbie Clark

Blessing of the Animals service photo

Dear friends, The life of a church community involves a balance and a rhythm of continuity and change. At any given moment, we need both. Without change, we become stagnant. Without continuity, we lose our sense of who we are. While we seek to balance familiarity and newness, we also recognize that there are times […]
