Contemplative Communion - We gather Thursdays at 12:15 for a brief contemplative communion service. We will engage in the ancient practice of Lectio Divina (a method of reading, studying, and praying Scripture), share prayers, and be fed at Jesus’ Welcome Table… all in about 30 minutes. Take a break midweek, come, and be.
Willing to host a coffee hour? Sign up here. There are many dates available. It's a great opportunity to get to know someone while working together.
Sunday, February 17…
We celebrate the Sixth Sunday after Epiphany with stories of blessing and words of woe. A small ensemble shares a musical offering of “Set Me As A Seal.”
Following Worship, we gather again in Fellowship Hall Coffee Hour.
Blessed are we who...There are many ways to consider our- selves blessed. But being blessed doesn’t stop at receiving a blessing. The blessing goes beyond the gift. Accepting Christ’s blessing is as much about giving as receiving. It changes the core of who we are. Christ is alive in us. Christ’s love and teachings are written in our hearts. The good news of the Sermon on the Plain is that our faith is not merely a call to ethics, it is a call to relationship with our communities, with our culture, and with the God who is ever-faithful to us as God’s beloved children. (Seasons of the Spirit)
A Prayer…
Triune God, you are our giver, our gift, and our power to give. Be with us now as we unwrap the wonder of your word, and seek to be a blessing to the world. Amen.
