Senior High Sunday
Sunday, April 29, 2012 May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor
"Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to...to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games"
-Peeta Mellark
Certain stories can be described as "mythic" rather than "fiction." When a story delves into great themes, asks big questions, and captures the minds and imaginations of our youth, often the story is worth serious consider- ation. I call this type of story "modern myth."
Instead of sharing our sacred stories around campfires, we often share our stories through paperbacks, Kindles or Nooks, and then through film and television screens. These are the stories that contribute to the mindset of a generation.
In worship on April 29, our senior high school youth will share their thoughts on their current "modern myth," The Hunger Games.....click here to read more.

"...Impossible"
Easter Sermon of 4/1/2012 by Rev. Tom Schade
Of course, religious liberals will be flummoxed by Easter.
The day celebrates an event which the rational and reasonable mind knows is impossible to have happened. The modern mind, and religious liberalism, is, in part, Christianity as touched by the modern, scientific, rational mind.
So, impossible things, like the dead returning to life, flummox it. Click here to read more.
