"Faith That Feeds"
We believe that faith should feed and nurture our spirits.
We believe also that faith should lead us to feed people
in the many different ways they hunger,
both physically and spiritually.

The Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost
September 29, 2024
Bike the Ridge - 9 am - 1 pm
Please plan your arrival to church accordingly
(Ridge Blvd. is closed to traffic from Howard to Church)

Someone who isn’t part of Jesus’ own circle is casting out demons in Jesus’ name, and the disciples want him stopped. They appeal to Jesus, as Joshua did to Moses about the elders who prophesied without official authorization. Like Moses, Jesus refuses to see this as a threat. Jesus welcomes good being done in his name, even when it is not under his control. The circle we form around Jesus’ word must be able to value good being done in ways we wouldn’t do it, by people we can’t keep tabs on. | | |

Feeding Our Faith – Sundays 9 am – 10 am
Sunday, September 29, 2024
Gatherings include viewing short videos and lively discussions. You can participate either in-person or via Zoom.
Join our Adult Discussion Class at 9 am in-person in Fellowship Hall or on Zoom by clicking the button below. This Fall we are delving into the issue of Climate Justice and share how God is calling us to be co-creators of a blessed tomorrow. We will again use videos to grease the wheels of our discussion. On 9/29, we’ll continue with Climate Scientist Katherine Hayhoe. Her 2021 book, Saving Us, is readily available at the library, and will greatly enhance our learning about how to effectively talk about it. Nicolai Schousboe will lead the discussions while Pr. Mark is away.
