Reflecting on the Church Year: This week our worship planners are gathering to consider the whole new church year that is coming soon. All are invited to join them via zoom for a time of reflection on how the church keep’s time, and what times in the church’s year are most precious to us. See the link in our weekly newsletter or email us.


9/19//21 & 9/26/21

The Bible and Climate Change: We discuss parts one and two of the two-part series from The Salt Project podcast Strange New World, “The Bible and Climate Change” — rethinking scripture from the ground up in the face of the greatest global challenge in human history. In part one, we start with Genesis, and uncover how “climate change” — though it’s never mentioned in the Bible — is on virtually every page. In episode two, we explore what Jesus has to do with climate change, zeroing in on his last public teaching, the final words he wants ringing in our ears. Listen to the podcasts here: Episode 1 Episode 2


3/28/21 2 Peter

One of the traditional Lenten disciplines is reading scripture. For our Community Connections Bible Studies during Lent, we will turn our attention to some of the lesser-read, small books of the New Testament. Some of these are NOT included in the 3-year lectionary cycle, and some only appear for a month or so every three years. Perhaps there is a reason why these books get less attention, so let’s find out together!

These studies are discussion based and you can join them at any time and fully participate. So grab your favorite beverage and join us at 1:00 PM on Zoom or Facebook.

Each session will begin with readings of each passage to study followed by a time to reflect. Then we will explore the passages, think about how each passage relates to our lives, and consider how we can apply these insights to our lives in the coming days or weeks.

2/7/21 Astro photo graphy

Presented by Bob Van Gulick:  Astrophotography of the heavens has been a passion of mine for many years, but now I have discovered a new software package to really make my pictures pop. It’s called PixInsight, a very advanced and complex astro photo tool. We will go through a simple processing session and then look at some of the images I have processed with PixInsight. Join us on Zoom or Facebook Live at 1:00 PM.
