Our worship service begins at 10:00 AM.
This Fall we are journeying through scriptures following the Narrative Lectionary.
Last week our study led us through Genesis 32, where we encountered Jacob, grandson of Abraham and Sarah, third generation heir of the covenant with God. We saw him wrestling with a holy stranger through the night. We saw Jacob not letting go, and at daybreak walk away with a blessing, a limp, and a new name. The story led us to question what might we learn about faithfulness from Jacob’s example, and how might our wrestling with God change how we move in the world.
This morning our worship will center on Exodus 3. We'll encounter Moses being drawn to the burning bush that is not consumed by the fire. He receives a commission from God to join God in God's mission of liberation. We will explore in what ways might God be calling us to be God's partners in protecting and nurturing life. Who are the folk that partner with us to support, inspire and hold us accountable?
Exodus 3:1-15 will guide and inspire our worship. Please find the liturgy for the service here: Liturgy for October 1. So as you feel led, spend some time reading and reflecting on it in preparation for worship.
Today we celebrate World Communion Sunday, the unity of the Body of Christ across time, space, language, and culture. We invite you to prepare some bread and juice so you can partake in the feast.
Whether in-person or online, we hope you’ll join us for worship!
