Embodying the Love of God – A Table Open to All

In Luke 14, Jesus paints a vision of God’s radical hospitality—a banquet where the least expected are given places of honor, and the invitation extends far beyond the usual guest list. As Pentecost people, we are called not only to receive this invitation but to embody it—to extend God’s welcome beyond barriers of class, race, ability, or belonging. At God’s table, all are equal, all are honored, all are beloved.

Join us as we hear the video message from Bishop Delores J. Williamston of the Louisiana Conference of the UMC.

Called to Bear Witness – Hope

In Matthew 28 and Acts 1, the risen Christ commissions his followers: “Go and make disciples of all nations” and “You will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.” These aren’t just words for the first disciples — they are a living call for us today.

To be Pentecost people is to be a community formed and empowered by the Holy Spirit, sent into the world to bear witness to God’s love. It means living with courage, compassion, and purpose — making Christ’s love visible through both word and action.

We are called not to retreat from the world’s complexity, but to enter into it with the fire of heavenly love — proclaiming good news, healing the broken, and working for justice. This is the witness we offer. This is the love we embody.

Join us as we hear the video message from Bishop Hector Burgos Núñez of the Upper New York Conference of the UMC.

Inbreaking New Creation – Hope

“Hope that can be seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?” – Romans 8:24

In a village in Papua New Guinea, hope is described as “seeing through the horizon.” It’s a beautiful reminder that hope is not rooted in what we already hold, but in the trust that something more — God’s vision of love, justice, and peace — is drawing near.

Even when life feels heavy with struggle or clouded by uncertainty, God invites us to see with the eyes of faith — to live now as if the new creation is already among us. Wherever compassion is practiced, justice pursued, and welcome extended — there, hope breaks through.

The Resurrection of the Crucified – Faith

Today we begin a new worship series called Pentecost People designed by the Council of Bishop of the United Methodist Church.

Philippians 2 calls us to the way of Christ—who emptied himself in love, not to dominate but to heal. Today, we reflect on faith in the resurrection of the crucified—a faith rooted in cruciform love that surrenders power, embraces humility, and brings new life.

Bishop Schwerin, from the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church, invites us to let go of old stories of dominion and live into Ubuntu—a vision of mutual care and shared flourishing. Even while it is still dark, resurrection breaks in. Let us live with faith, hope, and love as signs of God’s new creation.

Annual Conference Report

Thriving in Community

The 177th Session of the California-Nevada Annual Conference took place from June 27 – 30, 2025 in Sacramento with the theme “Thriving in Community”.  This sacred time brought clergy and laity together to give account of their ministry, discern God’s will for the future, and celebrate those called to ordained ministry. In worship, legislation, and holy conferencing, we reflected about what it means to be “Thriving in Community”.  The gathered community honored retiring clergy, remembered those who have passed, and fixed pastoral appointments for the coming year.

Above all, it was a Spirit-filled time of connection, renewal, and commitment to God’s work in the world in this critical time.  Your lay delegate, Tom Huetteman, Laurel Williams, and Pastor Sunae will share their reports and we will listen to Bishop Sandy Olewine’s powerful opening video message.  Join us.

Commitment

This Sunday, we gather around the story of Elijah and Elisha—a story of sacred transitions, tenacious faith, and bold commitment. As Elijah prepares to depart, Elisha refuses to leave his side, embodying the deep spiritual commitment to walk with and learn from those who came before him. In a time when it’s easier to turn away than to stay present, Elisha’s perseverance calls us to consider: What does faithful commitment look like in our lives today?

In a world that constantly shifts, our worship this week centers on grounding ourselves in relationships, purpose, and the Spirit who continues to call us forward. Whether you’re new to faith or walking a lifelong journey, you are welcome here—just as you are. Join us. Chris Logan is preaching as Pastor Sunae is attending the California Nevada Annual Conference Session in Sacramento.
