Hope in the Lord who saves
1st week of Advent
In the beautiful contempletive music of Holden Evening Prayer, we hear a message of hope and anticipation.
In Psalm 130, we hear that God hears our call from the depths and we should continue to hope in the Lord who brings salvation.
When we hear Jesus describing the coming of the Son of Man with stars falling from heaven, it can sound dire and horrible, not like anything we would ever hope for. But when we really look at the suffering of people God loves, we can share the hope that God would tear open the heavens and come.

Trusting in the freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the church, that Christians will unite more fully in worship and mission. Sunday Worship 9:00 am Sunday School 10:00 am Worship...

Our allegiance is fully to God In today’s first reading God uses the Gentile ruler Cyrus to accomplish divine purposes. When the Pharisees try to trap Jesus, he tells them to give the emperor what belongs to him and to God what belongs to God. To gather for worship reminds us that our ultimate allegiance is to God rather than to any earthly authority. Created in the image of God, we offer our entire selves in the service of God and for the sake of the world. Sunday Worship 9:00 am Sunday...
