When it comes to faith, sometimes there are questions that do more harm than good—questions that are formed by assumptions, questions that lead us to judgment or isolation. This week in worship, we hear Jesus address these types of questions and our assumptions that go with them.  In response, Jesus offers a better way: a way of healing and wholeness where our inquiry can bring restoration, not condemnation..  Our scripture reading this week is John 9:1-41.

This Lent we're talking about what it means to be seeking.  And sometimes our seeking is about being known and seen for who we truly are.  This week in worship we hear the story of when Jesus meets a woman, who by all societal standards, he has no business talking to.  Instead, Jesus asks the woman for a drink of water.  Sometimes a simple question and expression of need can open the door to a world of understanding and compassion.  Come and see what we mean.  Join us for worship this Sunday.  Our scripture reading this week is John 4: 5-42 .

When it feels risky to ask questions, what do we do?  This week we hear the story of Nicodemus, who had great wonderings but only felt comfortable coming to Jesus in the cover of night.  Jesus, in turn, created safe space for Nicodemus to consider what it might mean to begin again in life, a spiritual rebirth.  Join us this week as we ponder what new beginnings our own spiritual lives might include and how to find the safe space Jesus imagines for us as we nurture those new beginnings.  Our scripture reading is John 3:1-17 .

In the Gospels, Jesus is asked 187 questions.  He answers (maybe) 8 of them.  He himself asks 307.  Maybe faith isn't about certainty, but about learning to ask good questions.  We begin a series this week called "Seeking: Honest Questions for a Deeper Faith."  We'll ask different, faith-filled questions each week as we walk toward Good Friday and Easter.  Join us this Sunday as we read scriptures that make us wonder:  whose influence guides us?  Whose voices—and what messages—take up too much space in our head?  From the onslaught of messaging we receive, we are invited to choose carefully.  Our scripture readings are Matthew 4:1-11  and Genesis 2:15-17 , 3:1-7  Permission to podcast / stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE, License A-734781.

This week we are celebrating two incredible ministries that help our children grow up in love: Scouting and Christian camping!  Join us as we bring lots of young voices and energy into our worship service.  We welcome our nearby camp director Robyn Vernon for a fun children's time and hear all about upcoming camp opportunities.  We'll also hear a special message from Pastor Anna about how to use love as a tool for changing situations, and especially when it's hard.  As it turns out, "grown ups" and children, alike, have a lot of "growing up" to do when it comes to loving like Jesus. And that's ok. Our scripture readings are Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18  and Matthew 5: 38-48.
