Remember the Sabbath

In today’s world, with its relentless emphasis on success and productivity, we have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between work and rest. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance.  Keeping the Sabbath practice allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important: God, I, other people and all life as God intended it to be.

We begin the new year with a sermon series on “Sabbath”.  This worship series will explore concepts from Walter Brueggemann’s Sabbath as Resistance and Wayne Muller’s Sabbath, Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in our busy lives.  Join us.

Sunday worship begins at 10:15AM.

Join us in person in our sanctuary or watch online via Zoom, Facebook or YouTube Live.

Sabbath as Resistance

Covenant Service

On Monday, August 11, 1755, it was probably the first real celebration of the Covenant Service in the Methodist movement. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement and spiritual awakening, found the Covenant service rich and meaningful that he wrote in his journal, “Many mourned before God, and many were comforted.” (April 1756)

We begin our new year 2025 with a Covenant service renewing our hearts before God and one another. Join us. The heart of the service is focused in the Covenant Prayer which requires persons to commit themselves to God. See below for the prayer. We will be recognizing past laity leaders and new lay leadership in this service. May God be praised.

Covenant Prayer

I am no longer my own, but yours.
Put me to what you will, align me with whom you will;
put me to doing, put me to suffering;
let me be employed for you, or laid aside for you,
let me be full, let me be empty,
let me have all things, let me have nothing:
I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things to your pleasure and disposal.
And now, glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
you are mine and I am yours.
So be it.
And the covenant now made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen
– John Wesley

Covenant Service

Jeremiah 31:31-34

“A Promise of Love” Christmas Program

Much of the Magnificat, Mary’s song of praise to God, is written not in the future tense, but the past. Mary trusts God to see her through this life-changing pregnancy because she remembers how God has cared for her people in the past; God is trustworthy not just in theory, but has proven God’s love for God’s people. Our gift to God in return is loving God before God has fulfilled every promise; loving God both because of our certainty in what God has done, but also our trust in what God will yet do.  

Our children and friends will share the message of “A Promise of Love” through the Christmas Program directed by Susannah Wood.  They truly shine with God’s light and love. Come and let us adore our newborn King Jesus.  Join us.

Sunday worship begins at 10:15AM.

Join us in person in our sanctuary or watch online via Zoom, Facebook or YouTube Live.
