This Sunday,

We will be returning to our regular worship service and regular narrative lectionary reading to encounter scripture within the Book of Acts (9.1-19a). We will hear the first account of Saul’s conversion experience that involves a flash of light, a heavenly voice, disorientation, and something like “scales falling from his eyes.” It is a conversion story as Saul is confronted and repents of his persecution of the “heretics.”

Something of this story may resonate within our own hearts. Perhaps this has been similar to a conversion you have experienced in your life (it certainly resonates with my own experiences). And, there is something here within the story that may apply not only to we who are in the process of converting from one thing to another, but to those of us who are present to others in the process of repentance or transformation.

Saul’s experience is not alone. He is surrounded by friends and by neighbors. All of them are integral to his becoming.

So come and join in a time of worship this Sunday as we draw from Saul’s experience (and perhaps our own) to consider how we may accompany one another - at our own pace.

Peace,

Rev. Chris McCreight

Live the Resurrection Sunday (and every day)

This last Sunday was magnificent.

Some of us gathered at the church to participate in acts of service. Some of us stepped into acts of care and neighborliness around our homes. Some of us finally surrendered to a time of rest and restoration. All of it is good.

Thank you for the ways that you serve Christ’s Church, your community, and your family. It is all how we serve the world from our little corner of it. And it all moves through the world as a life-giving breath.

Beginning this sunday @ 9:45am
