November 20, 2023 “The Bible Through Grown-Up Lenses" by Josh Scott
Pastor, author and thought leader Josh Scott joins us to talk about the premise of his latest book Bible Stories for Grown-Ups. He encourages us to think about the bible in a larger, more holistic way and view its stories with a more mature lens. He reminds us that it's okay to have questions, and even okay to hold onto some doubts about what we've been told we must believe to be in a relationship with God.

November 13, 2023 “A Prodigal Party” by Kenny Bishop
Many of us who grew up around fundamentalist theology are familiar with what it means to be lost. We heard people talk about being lost and undone, lost without Christ, lost as in unsaved. Jesus told three stories in a row that were all about being lost - the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost boy. All three stories end with a party, a sheep party, a coin party, and a prodigal party.

November 06, 2023 “When They Fall” by Rev. Chad Abbott
There's an interesting story in the bible about a young man named Eutychus who happened to fall asleep while Paul the apostle waxed on what it means to be a follower of Jesus. The young man was sitting on a window ledge and fell three stories to his death. Even though Eutychus was considered to be on the margins, Paul stopped his talk to rush to the young man's aid. He fell on him, held him, and prayed for God's healing because that's what a person of God does when someone has fallen. Today, United Church of Christ Conference Minister Chad Abbott shares this story with us and how we can see it as an example and opportunity to mirror that extravagant love for those who have fallen around us.

October 30, 2023 “Faith Forming Folk” by Pam Lee-Miller
Rachel Cohn said, "The important People in our lives leave imprints. They may stay or go in the physical realm, but they are always there in your heart." This Sunday we will celebrate All Saints Day. We will light candles and remember those who have been a part of our faith formation. As a special treat, members of our BUCC Writers Group will share personal reflections as they remember those whose imprint made a difference in their own faith formation.

October 23, 2023 “Think Again” by Kenny Bishop
This week we begin our new fall series, Think Again. Based on Josh Scott's book Bible Stories for Grown-Ups, and leading up to having Josh with us on November 19th, we'll spend the next few weeks looking at some of the ways our faith has grown and our theology has evolved. We'll give ourselves permission to ask questions and seek deeper meaning in the stories of the Bible.

October 22, 2023 “Us” by Kenny Bishop
The news this week has been big and hard. The fighting, the screaming, the power struggles, and the subterfuge have left lots of helpless victims in the wake. And that's just Washington, DC. There's also the tragedy in Israel and Gaza that's playing out in our news feeds and on our TVs while the war between Ukraine and Russia rages on. We expect October to be scary, but not like this.

October 09, 2023 “It Isn’t Supposed to be Like This!” by Pam Lee-Miller
This Sunday we will take another look at the Israelites and Moses on their desert journey. Things are not going the way they expected and they get "fed up with life" along the way. In the least likely place, God hears, God sees, and God provides life-giving hope. But what about us? Does God still see us and hear us in the desert? Is God still life-giving in the year 2023? See you Sunday as we wrestle with this tough question.

September 25, 2023 "Everything's Gonna Be Okay" by Pam Lee-Miller
Have you ever had one of those "no good, very bad, horrific kind of days" that makes you want to just throw your hands up, go back to bed, and pull the covers over your head? Today we explore how the Hebrew people who were led out of bondage and toward the promised land dealt with those kinds of days in their own journey. We'll discover that God never abandoned them, but continued to support them with compassion, love, and hope. We'll talk about life in relationship with God-love that offers hope even on our horrible days.

September 18, 2023 "What We Know" by Kenny Bishop
We've probably all said it at some point; "If I knew then what I know now..." One of the great advantages of living a while is the number of opportunities we have to learn and adjust what we believe about our faith and religion, and our understanding of who Jesus is. That means sometimes rethinking some of the ideas, maybe even some of the "truths" that we thought we knew. Changing our minds is not a bad thing when we are attempting to adapt to better ways of understanding.
