Pastor Michael continues our sermon series, exploring our church value for curiosity by reflecting on the interaction between Jesus and "Ally Legend" in Mark 14. He challenges us to move away from relationships based on judment and surveillance, to relationships marked by care and curiosity. How might we experience God drawing near to us as we draw near to God in curiosity?

Pastor Erina reflects on our church value for moving with expansiveness- following the movements of the Spirit in ways that stretch, surprise, and expand. As we witness all the ways that our society is moving towards contraction and restriction rather than expansiveness, how might we be a church that continues to stay soft? How might we be open to the "many ways" that God can work in a faith community?

Pastor Erina continues our sermon series on church values by reimagining what it means to be a community with roots, moving from an individual vision to a collective one. She shares some wisdom from the world of redwood forests, and names some of the connections our church has - to tradition, to scripture, to saints, to history, and to denominational bodies- that keep us supported and nourished as a community.

Pastor Michael kicks off a new sermon series exploring our church's values, starting with our church's value for embodying a healing, joyful home. He explores the scandalous vision of God's house from Isaiah 56- where all are included, all belong, and narratives about who we are can be transformed and healed in God's presence. What might it look like, then, for us to truly live out this value together?

Children and Family Ministries Director, Jill Gidlund, leads our whole church in an intergenerational experience of Godly Play, exploring the Epiphany Story. What might it mean for us that the light of Christ has come into our world and continues to be among us?

Pastor Erina invites us to reflect on the gift of joy, even in the midst of the darkness and despair of the world around us. How might joy be activated by meaningful connections, deeper attention, and delightful expression? She concluded the sermon with a co-created concert of delights, as an expression of what has brought us joy this season.

Guest preacher, Rev. Dr. Randy Woodley, shares with us about the love of God that comes to us in the form of divine vulnerability. He also unpacks the simple yet challenging commands of John the Baptist in Luke 3- to give away what we have as an expression of love those in need. How might John's words invite us into acts of generosity, care, and sacrifice as we continue to participate in the realm of God?

Pastor Michael continues our Advent sermon series by reflecting on the vision of God's "path of peace," as presented in Zechariah's song. How might we experience God's divine rescue from enemies and freedom through forgiveness, even in the midst of a world marked by violence and alienation?

Pastor Erina kicks off our Advent series by preaching on Romans 8 and exploring hope as the act of labor between groaning and glory- not just for humankind but for all of creation. How might we be invited to practice hope for the restoration of all creation in this Advent season?

Pastor Erina concludes our fall series by reflecting on the ambiguous, unresolved ending of Mark- with the women at the empty tomb. How does Mark's resurrection narrative make space for us to both name our fears and to invite new possibilities, especially in this post-elections moment? How might we embrace the mystery that the tomb might actually be a womb?
