How Beautiful
On the Lookout for Beauty
Sunday, October 30 “How Beautiful” series. Traditions online worship service.
Throughout our series on we’ve been training ourselves to celebrate what’s good in the world. By celebrating what’s right and good, we can find the energy to fix what is wrong. “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news.” Isaiah 52:7. Join us in worship this week as we are on the lookout for beauty!
Isaiah 52:7-10
Delighting in Beauty
Sunday, October 23 “How Beautiful” series. Traditions online worship service.
As we let go of the expectations of others we are freed to claim the creativeness in ourselves. The God who made us in all our intricacies invites us to co-create beauty in the world. Join us as we worship in person or online so that we might cultivate our own imaginations to be people who delight in beauty!
Psalm 139:13-14
Beauty in Wonder and Mystery
Sunday, October 16 “How Beautiful” series. Traditions online worship service.
In the great Charles Wesley hymn Love Divine, All Loves Excelling we sing our longing to be “lost in wonder, love, and praise”. All the art in the world cannot capture beauty in all its fullness. Join us in worship in-person or online as we wonder at the mystery of the unfathomable depths of the goodness of God. (Psalm 135)
Psalms 135:1-3,13-21
Redefining Beauty
Sunday, October 9 “How Beautiful” series. Traditions online worship service.
This week we consider how Jesus defines what is beautiful and blessed in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). Beauty is not just movie stars and sunsets. There’s beauty even in our brokenness. Join us as we redefine what beauty means.
Matthew 5:1-12
John 4:19-24
Awakening to Beauty
Sunday, October 2 “How Beautiful” series. Traditions online worship service.
In worship this Sunday, October 2nd we consider how we are “Awakening to Beauty” as we discover the resilience of creation. We can also experience God’s beauty in healing, confession, and forgiveness as the psalmist tells us “God heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.” (Psalm 147) Join us as we put our hope in the unfailing love of God!
Psalms 147:1-11
Made for Beauty
Sunday, September 25 “How Beautiful” series. Traditions online worship service.
This Sunday, September 25 as we continue in our How Beautiful series, we will talk about how we are each made IN and FOR beauty– for what is good and true and lovely. When we don’t claim our own sacred worth in the eyes of God, we often engage in ‘self’ or ‘other’ destroying behaviors that only cause suffering. Join us online or in person we seek to be people of goodness and peace.
Psalms 16:7-11
Philippians 4:8-9
Gaze Upon the Beauty
Sunday, September 18 “How Beautiful” series. Traditions online worship service.
We begin a new sermon series this Sunday, September 18 titled “How Beautiful”. Over the next seven weeks, we will consider with the Psalmists what it means to ‘dwell with’ and ‘gaze upon’ the beauty of the Lord. In the midst of so many divisions, divisiveness, and ugliness in our world today, we want to refocus our gaze so that we can cultivate a life of beauty that mirrors the life of God. Join us in person or online for this counter-cultural approach to life in all its fullness.
Psalms 27
