In Time - January 24, 2021
by Rev. Joan Kessler 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 Today’s message is brought to you by the 168 hours of this past week, that’s 10,080 minutes, or 604,800 seconds… that is how much time has passed since we were last together. I won’t bore you the second by second account of my week but needless to say, it was a very full time. There is a saying in ministry that is constantly before me and that is, Sunday is always seven days away. As soon as one Sunday is complete, we begin working t

Come and See – January 17, 2021
by Rev. Joan Kessler John 1:43-51 So much has changed in our world these past four weeks since I was last with you on a Sunday. And I suspect we are all concerned and waiting with some trepidation around events taking place in the neighborhood to the south of us this coming week. We watched as protesters storm the Capitol building in Washington, the center and symbol of the United States and its democracy on 6 January. And how I remember this event was all the wordage that wa

Change from the inside out - January 10, 2021
by Rev. Doug Martindale Mark 1:4-11 “His baptism -- a holy baptism by the Holy Spirit -- will change you from the inside out.” The Baptism of Jesus Last Sunday our worship leader Bob Thompson said: “...we need an inner vision to see the world differently and to transform that vision into a changed world.” I'd like to build on this and ask: How do we get that inner vision? How might we see the world differently? John the baptizer says that God's Spirit will change us from the

The Magnificat - January 3, 2021
by Rev. Bob Thompson
Luke 1:46-55
I’ve been trying to think of an image which would describe our Covid existence over these past ten months.
The first image that comes to mind, is that we’ve been hibernating – finding our safe place – the place where we can wait out the storm. I wonder if bears dream when they hibernate – if they react to their diminished and isolated state, even as they sleep? I think we have done a lot of dreaming in these months of lockdown – what it w
