SUMMARY:Fourth Sunday of Advent
DESCRIPTION:Our theme this week is “Be amazed: Love comes down.” Pastor Richard will preach on John 1: 1–18. He writes\, “Many Christians focus on going to heaven someday. But the main storyline throughout the Bible is that God repeatedly reaches out to humanity on earth. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Incarnation when ‘The Word became flesh and made his home among us.'” \nWe won’t hold any adult Christian Formation classes on Sunday\, but children and youth will hold a rehearsal for the Christmas pageant on December 24.

SUMMARY:First Sunday of Lent
DESCRIPTION:We’ll begin a six-week Lenten worship series called “Dwelling in Dissonance.” Pastor Richard will preach on John 11: 1-44. The theme for our first week is Dwelling in Dissonance: Love and Grief\, Glory and Belief. \nThe writers from the Lenten materials this week note\, “Throughout John 11\, Jesus defies what we and the characters in the story expect him to do. When things are not going the way we want them to\, when things seem deeply wrong\, can we make space for love and lament? For grief? Can we believe that in the dissonance between how things should be and how they are\, God might be at the work of transformation\, opening us to the possibilities of resurrection?” \nDuring Sunday school\, we’ll conclude our 3-week world cafe series on welcoming. We’ll enjoy a potluck meal together to mark the occasion.

SUMMARY:Palm Sunday: Dwelling in Dissonance
DESCRIPTION:Our service will begin with the traditional palm processional. Pastor Barb will preach on John 12: 12–27 and 19: 16b–22. She writes\, “Many traditions celebrate this Sunday as Palm Sunday during which we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Other traditions observe it as Passion Sunday in which Jesus’ crucifixion is recognized. This Lent we hold these two observances together acknowledging their dissonance and contemplating the qualities of Jesus who reveals God’s true nature to us.” \n

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for joyful Easter services as we celebrate our risen Lord! Our schedule will be an 8:30 AM early service\, 9:00 AM potluck Easter breakfast\, and 10 AM worship service including communion. \nPastor Richard will preach on John 20: 1-18; our theme will be Dwelling in Dissonance: Death and Resurrection. He writes\, “Mary Magdalene\, the first witness to the resurrection\, does not immediately recognize Jesus. Even though her life had been transformed by him\, she didn’t know who he was. The resurrection changes everything\, forcing her (and us) to accept a radical shift of perspective.”  \nWe won’t hold any Sunday school classes this week.
