Sunday Reflection (September 26, 2021)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboI firmly believe that God’s working through others to do good is much larger than any one person, any one group, any one congregation, or any one religion (Numbers 11:24-29; Mark 9:38-41). Yet all religions, including Christianity must confront the violence and evil done in its name and many things have been done in Christ’s […]
Prayer for the Week (September 27-October 2, 2021)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray that the Spirit of God be alive with us and among all people: God, you grant us the power to do mighty works but not the right to deny that power to others. We come before you confidently for we have seen your likeness in Jesus […]
Sunday Reflection (September 19, 2021)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboDesire and ambition are positive in the sense that they propel us to fulfill our potential, but we can become so consumed with desire and ambition that we destroy trust, community, and friendship to do better than others (James 3:13-4:8).

The Holy Wisdom of God comes to us in Jesus […]
Prayer for the Week (September 12-September 18, 2021)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray to God who created us in God’s image: God, in whom we behold not only the image of you but the likeness of ourselves. Help us to seek you and deliver us from flippancy of the tongue and fickleness of heart. May our worship prepare us for the task you have for […]
