Proper 7a: June 22, 2008: Hagar and Ishmael

Proper 7a: Hagar and Ishmael find themselves begging God for mercy in the Wilderness.  Was he laughing at or with his three year old brother when Sarah was filled with rage? Does God really condone the decision to place them in the wilderness?  The summer-long narrative continues and points to Abraham losing his second son in next week’s service.    

Proper 4a: June 1, 2008, Divine Regret

Worship: June 1, 2008, Proper 4a – Third Sunday after Pentecost
And so our summer long emphasis on the Hebrew Bible begins.  The service focuses on Genesis 6:11-22; 7:24; 8:14-19.  The destruction of the world, and divine regret that comes with it, will introduce a new Covenant between God and all of creation.
How much do we really know about this text? What does it say about God and what is our role in the covenant?  
We hope you will join us for this summer-long series.
