Sixth Sunday in Easter

Sunday, May 25 Traditions worship service. In the Gospel of John, as Jesus is preparing his disciples for his departure he says, If you love me . . . you will keep my commandments. “Those who love me will keep my word and my Father will love them and we will come to them and make our home with them. (John 14: 23) Jesus even takes it one step further saying, “Whoever does NOT love me does not keep my words. (v. 24) Join us this Sunday, May 25 as we continue learning from Jesus’ Farewell Discourse in John 14-17 at 9am or 11am. How is God making a home in you? Psalm 67 John 14:23-29

For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.” (2 Corinthians 8:11-12). 2 Corinthians 8:7-12

Easter Sunday – Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Easter Sunday, April 20 Traditions worship service. Walking with Christ is a central metaphor for the spiritual life; there are things that we learn by staying alert and walking with Jesus during Holy Week that we cannot learn in any other way. Some of the harder lessons and mysteries of our faith are lived out right in front of our eyes during these days, and the lessons to be learned are best taught in the intimacy of our relationship with Christ as we walk the path together. Join us as we walk with Jesus through his last supper with the disciples, his arrest and trial, to the cross, and as his body is carried to the tomb, so that we may experience the fullness of joy in Christ’s Resurrection on Easter morning. Psalm 118:14-29 Luke 24:1-12

The People of God in Eternity – Revelation

Palm Sunday, April 13 Traditions worship service. This Sunday, April 13, 2025 we will celebrate the culmination of our With-God Life Series that we began in September of 2023! During this two-year series, we have surveyed through the whole of scripture from Genesis to Revelation through the lens of Spiritual formation. And throughout we have learned that The Immanuel Principle is the way God has interacted with human life throughout history.  Through all the pages of the Bible we find God saying to us, “I am with you” God says, “Will you be with me?” This Sunday as we come to the end of this series with the theme The People of God in Eternity as we consider the book of Revelation, we also celebrate Palm Sunday! We’ll have a Palm Procession remembering Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem at all the services and a special video to celebrate our With-God Life series. At our 11am Service this Palm Sunday we will also celebrate our children singing and a special commissioned anthem composed by Pepper Choplin for our choir to sing on the With-God Life. Luke 19:28-40 Revelation 1:4-8; 7:9-17

The People of God in Community – The Letters of John and Jude

Sunday, April 6 Traditions worship service. William Law, an 18th century Anglican priest wrote: “If we are to be new people in Christ, then we must show our newness to the world. If we are to follow Christ, it must be in the way we spend each day.” As we approach the letters of James and Peter this week, we remember that these writers likely knew each other and even walked together with Jesus! They were both also instrumental in the development of the first Christian community in Jerusalem that began to be organized after the day of Pentecost. 1  John 1:5-9; 3:1-3 1 John 4:7-21 Jude 1:7-21; 24-25

The People of God in Community – James, 1 and 2 Peter

Sunday, March 30 Traditions worship service. William Law, an 18th century Anglican priest wrote: “If we are to be new people in Christ, then we must show our newness to the world. If we are to follow Christ, it must be in the way we spend each day.” As we approach the letters of James and Peter this week, we remember that these writers likely knew each other and even walked together with Jesus! They were both also instrumental in the development of the first Christian community in Jerusalem that began to be organized after the day of Pentecost. Join us in worship as we consider how to live with integrity as those who seek to follow Jesus at 9am in CLC or 11am in the Sanctuary or online! 1 Peter 1:1, 3-9 James 1:19-27; 2:14-17 James 3:1-6, 9-10

The People of God in Community – Hebrews

Sunday, March 23 Traditions worship service. This week in the With-God Life: The People of God in Community we focus on the unique New Testament book Hebrews–which defies all other biblical genres. It’s kind of its own thing which is closer to a long sermon than it is a letter. Who it was written to and who it was written by remains a mystery. Still, we will find encouragement and challenge to follow Jesus and remain faithful to Jesus despite whatever hardships we may face. Hebrews 1:1-3; 12:1-2, 12-15; 13:1-8, 15-17

The People of God in Community – Timothy and Titus

Sunday, March 16 Traditions worship service. This Sunday, March 16 in our With-God Life Series: The People of God in Community we transition from Paul’s letters to specific churches that he had started or had influence over to what are known as the Pastoral Letters–1 & 2 Timothy and Titus. These 3 books in the New Testament were written by Paul to specific individual leaders named Timothy and Titus. They are written from one pastor to another pastor. These letters are important because they help us catch Paul’s vision for the nature of the church–how what we believe shapes how we live and behave. 1 Timothy 1:1-2; 2:1-6; 4:11-16 Titus 3:1-9

The People of God in Community – Thessalonians

Sunday, March 9 Traditions worship service. We first learn about Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica in Acts 17: “After Paul and Silas had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews” (17:1). It’s very likely that the first letter of Paul to the Thessalonians is the earliest letter in the New Testament! This means that, for us as readers today, we find in 1 Thessalonians what was first on the mind of Paul and what were the initial issues being confronted by the early Church like: concerns about the timing of the return of Jesus Christ, the ethical behavior of Christians, and what is our task as disciples of Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 11am as we continue to learn from the Apostle Paul. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10; 4:13-5:11; 5:12-28

The People of God in Community – Philippians

Sunday, February 23 Traditions worship service. Philippians is one of the letters Paul wrote from prison. It’s also his most personal letter because Paul knew these people so well. (You can read about Paul in Philippi in Acts 16.) In response to the Philippians kindness and generosity, Paul writes this letter full of gratefulness thanking God for this community of Jesus followers. We’ll find Paul’s encouragement for today, too, as he encourages us to imitate the humility of Christ and through the cultivation of joy find resilience in the midst of trouble. It’s a short letter, so you are encouraged to read it before you come to worship this Sunday, February 23rd at 9am in the CLC or 11am in the Sanctuary. Philippians 1:1-11; 2:1-5 Philippians 4:2-9

The People of God in Community – Ephesians

Sunday, February 16 Traditions worship service. This short New Testament Letter to the Ephesians invites us to consider our place as part of a church family–this unlikely group of people the Holy Spirit has brought together to be God’s people in this place for this season. How are you working to help our church family tend to our work of making God’s love real? We encourage you to be inspired by reading the 6 chapters of Ephesians and join us in worship at 9am in the CLC or 11am in the Sanctuary this Sunday. Ephesians 1:1-2, 15-23 Ephesians 3:14-21; 4:1-6

The People of God in Community – Corinthians

Sunday, February 2 Traditions worship service. We continue in our With-God Life Series this week working through the genre of New Testament literature we call LETTERS. For some background information on Paul’s relationship with the church at Corinth read Acts Chapter 18. Paul lived among the Corinthian followers of Jesus for a year and a half before he moved on to start churches in other cities. But, soon after he moved on, he learned that the Corinthian community was dealing with all kinds of problems and divisions just within the church community, which is why he wrote this letter. Join us this Sunday, Feb. 2 at 11am online or in person as we learn together how to grow our capacity to love like God loves us in Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:1-11 1 Corinthians 12:27-13:13

The People of God in Community – Romans

Sunday, January 26 Traditions worship service. We re-enter our series on the With-God Life this Sunday as we begin this section on The People of God in Community engaging with the genre of literature in scripture known as Letters. Paul’s Letter to the Romans is a remarkable treatise explaining what we call the GOSPEL–the good news of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. This letter has had a wide ranging impact on Christian history, including the Protestant Reformation’s doctrine of justification by faith. Its influence upon John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement is also evident throughout his writings, most famously in this journal entry: “In the evening I went very unwillingly to a society in Aldersgate Street, where one was reading Luther’s Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.” (Works, “Journals,” May 24, 1738, para. 14) As we approach this letter through the lens of spiritual formation we’ll focus on Paul’s desire to encourage and guide the community life of early Christians living in the city of Rome. Try reading Romans yourself! And join us for worship this Sunday 9am Contemporary Service in the CLC or 11am in the Sanctuary! Romans 1:1-12 Romans 12
