We welcome Rev. Lindsay Comstock back home for the first time in two years. Lindsay’s sermon focuses on work in East Asia among women and children at risk as potential victims of human trafficking. Her text for the morning is Acts 9:36-43. The service also features a beautiful solo by one of our teenagers and a trio from our ladies ensemble.
Worship: Pentecost Sunday, 5.23.10
Our worship centers on Acts 2:1-21. Pentecost is one of the most sacred days in the Christian Year. This year’s celebration features special music by Molly Huffstetler, Ryan Corbitt, Judy Fiske, and the Sanctuary Choir. The reading of Acts 2:1-2 features multiple voices speaking in multiple languages. Sterling Severns’ sermon focuses upon the history we have with a God that breathes life into us individually and collectively as a church.
Mother’s Day: 5.9.10
Our worship centers on the Mother’s Day celebration. A child is dedicated. Special music is provided by both the Karen and Chin Choirs. One of our teenagers sings a song he composed followed by a powerful duet sung by Helen and Bod Davidson. Later in the service, Helen shares a wonderful testimony about her Mother. The brief sermon focuses on the promise Christ makes to the disciples in anticipation of the spirit’s arrival.
Easter 5c: 5.2.10
Our communion service centers on John 13:31-35 . Be sure to listen to Emily Harry’s powerful testimony, Biak Tling and Tin Par’s duet, and the choir’s communion reflection.
Easter 3c: 4.18.2010
Our worship centers on John 21, often labeled the Epilogue. Seven of the Disciples encounter Jesus on the Beach after he helps them catch 153 fish. Peter finds redemption in the ensuing conversation.
Easter 2c: 4.11.2010
Our worship centers on John 20:19-31, Jesus second resurrection appearance. Jesus will breathe onto the Disciples and urge them to forgive as he has forgiven. His encounter with Thomas marks the beginning multiple personal encounters.
Easter Day: 4.4.10
The Gospel of John’s presentation of Easter Day brings a sharp focus on Jesus Resurrection and Mary’s response. The foot race between “The Beloved Disciple” and Peter offers a sharp contrast to Mary as she holds strong outside the tomb.
We are urged to stop running and avoid clinging.
Palm Sunday: 3.28.10
The focus of our Palm Sunday Service centers on putting a voice to our faith. Jesus, marching into Jerusalem, will be asked to quiet his disciples. His response gives us guidance and prepares us for the events of Holy Week.
Lent 5c: 3.21.10
Our worship centers on John 12:1-8. Mary will anoint the feet of Jesus as he literally prepares to step outside the door and move into the parade of palms. We are challenged to follow the fragrance onto the streets.
The service concludes with Bread for the Journey for the Miller Family.
