No Small Moments “Okanagan Strong” ©Hubcatstide2026 The Okanagan is like people, currents on top and flowing below. Sometimes there is one, most times there are four. Okanagan life teaches we are more. We're more together when we share. Fruit baskets everywhere, zucchinis longer than my arm. Stained fingernails, and tangled ponytails. A church open fridge. Pickers on the edge. A Thrift Store like fish and two loaves. Okanagan, where our souls grow. You can find rocks

Sermon Dolly Would Traci Hubbard September 20th, 2026 Two thoughts as I drove to church today: If humans evolved from monkeys, did the monkeys who just stayed monkeys watch the humans and decide they were not interested in the evolutionary update? Is it just me or do you also think the seashore was the worst place for Suzie to sell seashells? How many of us remember when people asked, “What would Jesus do?” It’s a good question. Today I want

No Small Moments “Love Rolls On” ©Hubcatstide2026 Sitting on the bank of the Okanagan Diamonds dancing on the water as she flows Trees swaying like lovers on a dance floor School is open, moms are waving as they go Leaves are changing without our permission Pinecones loosening their grip so they can fall The sun is shining cooler than she used to The moon is taking pictures of it all Time, invisible, is always with us Makes me wonder what our hearts are counting on We fra

Sermon: Inherited Hunger Traci Hubbard September 13th, 2026 Judges 2:1-11 When my great granddad went bald, he built a machine to weave himself a wig out of yarn. He then gave it to my granddad, who then gave it to my dad, and one day, it will be mine. It's our family hair loom. There is something every parent discovers sooner or later: children are watching us. They watch what we do, listen to what we say, notice what we get excited about, and they notice the things

Reflection - What is Our Intention?

No Small Moments - September 6, 2026 No Small Moments “Mirror, Mirror” ©Hubcatstide1993 *A song I wrote when my daughters were 9 and 7 I didn’t realize time was passing faster than my heart could know. Nothing in this world is lasting, not even love we try to show. The girls are growing, stretching wings, testing us to find the truth. Who gave them both permission to turn into me and you? Mirror, mirror on the wall have they listened to our hearts at all? Are they followi

The Woman in the Ashes: Who Came to Listen to Job’s Wife? Our Scripture today introduces us to a woman who has become famous for saying one sentence. The woman, Job’s wife, was never given a name for the reader of the story. And what she said is not a card we would purchase for someone who has suffered a trauma and is grieving. She says to Job, “Do you still persist in your integrity? Curse God and die.” And for generations, the church has looked at her and essentially said,

No Small Moments “At Sixty-four” ©Hubcatstide2026 When you are sixty-four, you’ve seen a lot of stuff. Fluffy stuff. Dirty stuff. The right stuff and the wrong stuff. Good stuff and downright mean stuff. You may have consumed over a thousand liters of classic coke the original formula before you gave it up cold turkey on January 14th, 2014. At sixty-four, you’ve slid down hot Texas slides and burned your you know what and strained every ligament in both knees skiing the b

“Goodnight, Patriarchy” ©Hubcatstide 2026 *Written for every woman called, gifted, and strengthened to be spiritual leaders and creators of healing power. How dare anyone put the Creator and Holder of the Cosmos in a box and tell the Spirit of Infinite Eternal LOVE what she can do and who she can love. All have been created human, gifted and called to fulfill divine purposes for the highest good of all, NOT just for some. Goodnight Eve, you took Adam’s full blame, Eden reme

Sermon: “How Is Our Flow?” Traci Hubbard Isaiah 58:6–12 (Key Verses *11) August 23rd, 2026 It has been said that beavers do not give a damn. We laugh…but the truth is, beavers create the dam. There is something beautiful about water. You can put it in a glass, and it looks peaceful. Put it in a river, and it moves. Put it over a waterfall, and it makes a tremendous noise. And put it in my kitchen sink when the drain is plugged and suddenly it becomes an icky
