Remembrance and Thanksgiving Service

Each year we take time to remember and give thanks for those people in our lives who have passed away. As a community who is made up with people mainly from 'somewhere else' we don't often get a chance to sharing in the mourning with those who lose people back home. Each year during this service we stop, remember, give thanks, and praise God for the people in our lives who have gone before us.

Living Worthy of the Gospel

Mary of Nazareth & Her (Un)Ladylike Faith

Scriptures Readings on Mary:

Matthew 1:16
... and Jacob was the father of Joseph, 
the husband of Mary, 
of whom Jesus was born, who is called the Christ.

Luke 1:27
The virgin's name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, "Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!"

Luke 1:35
The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High 
will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy--the Son of God. 

The Pain of Regret & Good News of Grace

Gospel of Gratitude

Luke 17:11-19

Lewis Smedes, who was my ethics professor at Fuller Seminary, described it this way: “Ingratitude decays the spirit, spoils the soul, decomposes life itself.”

In this sermon Amy looks at the story of the lepers that Jesus heale from leprosy. Nine went on their way and only one returned to thank Jesus. What made this man return to Jesus? What did he see and experience when Jesus responded to his cries for mercy with healing grace? And how can we live in gratitude everyday, seeing our lives as gifts from God?

Sing, O Barren One

Isaiah 54:1-10
