Built Together

June 28, 2018 by Rev. Shane Montoya

Blessing of the Animals service photo

Dear Church, It’s hard to believe that it has only been 18 months since I began my time here as your associate pastor. Together, we have been through much: successfully navigated a church merger, went on a service trip, had the best Christmas pageant ever, and started up a new worship service. We studied the […]

Risen Indeed

April 1, 2018 by Rev. Shane Montoya

When this perishable body puts on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 “Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated! Christ […]

The Road Ahead

March 20, 2018 by Rev. Shane Montoya

We’re going into the home stretch in the program year for our children and youth faith formation, and what a joyful time we’ll have! After Easter, our children will learn about Jesus’s resurrection, and soon after, Pentecost. Over the summer we’ll be planting and caring for the children’s herb garden in front of the office […]

Body of Christ

March 18, 2018 by Rev. Shane Montoya

Now y’all are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27 In the Sunday Morning Bible Study, lately we’ve been going through Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. The church in Corinth is a troubled one; we believe this is so because the advice that Paul gives throughout the letter points to […]

Source of Healing to Others

March 4, 2018 by Rev. Shane Montoya

O give thanks to the LORD, for God is good; for God’s steadfast love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 At our Ash Wednesday service, we drew upon the wisdom of our Eastern Orthodox cousins in faith, who showed us a new understanding of the word “mercy.” In the words of Benjamin Williams in his book, Orthodox […]

Lost

February 23, 2018 by Rev. Shane Montoya

 Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. Psalm 25:4-5 I get really frustrated when I’m lost. When I’ve missed a turn on my GPS, or I can’t […]

Ash Wednesday: The First Day of Lent

February 14, 2018 by Rev. Shane Montoya

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 Ash Wednesday is the day in the Christian liturgical calendar (our calendar of holidays and seasons, separate from the secular calendar) that begins the penitential season of Lent, which ends with Easter Sunday, this year on […]

Where Was God?

April 14, 2017 by Rev. Shane Montoya

Christ on the Cross, Francisco de Zurbarán (1627)

From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.  And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27: 45-46 “Where was God?” Sometimes it’s easy to see God. In our children, learning and […]
