May 31, 2026 – Trinity Sunday

8:30 AM, Worship in Sanctuary

10:30 AM Worship in Sanctuary and Livestream

Philippians 2:1-8 | Matthew 20:25-28

A sense of awe can include witnessing acts of “moral beauty.” Jesus’ life was an example of moral beauty–a ministry of lifting up the cause of the lowly and advocating for the power of peace and justice. Research shows that when we witness with awe others’ kindness, courage, strength, and overcoming, we are more likely to feel inspired to give ourselves in service of the good. We become more self-giving, more ready to lend a helping hand or commit energy to making the world a better place.

The Rev. David Cooney, Ph.D. will be preaching and leading worship. The Senior Choir will sing.

February 15 – Sixth Sunday after Epiphany

Exodus 24:12–18 | Matthew 7:24–29

As the Sermon on the Mount draws to a close, Matthew presents Jesus as one who teaches with authority rooted in transformative truth. Jesus calls his listeners not only to hear his words, but to build their lives upon them. The image of Moses on the mountain in Exodus reminds us that encounters with God can be awe-filled and unsettling, calling us into deeper faithfulness. Together, these texts invite us to consider what it means to build our lives on a foundation strong enough to withstand the storms, trusting that God’s wisdom continues to guide and sustain us.

The Rev. David Cooney will be preaching and leading worship. Jonas Dawson will be our guest organist. The Senior Choir will sing.

September 30th

Dear Congregation:

And the Table Will Be Wide: A Blessing for World Communion Sunday 

And the table will be wide.
And the welcome will be wide.
And the arms will open wide to receive.

And we will come as children who trust there is enough.
And we will come unhindered and free.
And our aching will be met with bread.
And our sorrow will be met with wine.

And we will open our hands to the feast without shame.
And we will turn toward each other without fear.
An we will give up our appetite for despair.
And we will taste and know of delight.

And we will become bread for a hungering world.
And we will become drink for those who thirst.
And the blessed will become the blessing.
And everywhere will be the feast.

-Jan Richardson.
