This week, we continue on in our journey through Ephesians as we turn to the author's declaration that Christ is our Peace. Together, we wonder how we might go against the empires of today and live into God's preferred future, breaking down the walls that divide us and choosing to accept a "permanent, positive peace". 

This week, we launched a 7-week series journeying through Ephesians under the theme, No Longer Strangers. Pastor Joe began the series looking at how God's belovedness includes all. Rather than allowing our faith and convictions to feel better than the other, perhaps the blessings God promises should inspire us to action in the midst of a broken world!

This week, we welcome the Methodist New Year and celebrate Pastor Joe and Pastor Kristin as they begin another year appointed at Bothell United Methodist Church! Pastor Joe preaches this sermon from Ezekiel 2:1-5 challenging us and inviting us to engage in a posture of humility as we listen for the ways God is speaking...

This week, we launch a quick two-week series on what it means for us to Become Anti-Ableist in the Community. Pastor Joe kicks us off by preaching from Psalm 9:9-20 on how our hope is in God who cares for those our systems and institutions keep out and how we can be allies in this on-going work toward inclusion and accessibility!

This week, we wrap up our three-week series on 1 Samuel as Pastor Kristin, Pastor of Community Engagement, shares with us that God does not follow the ways of the world, but instead calls each of us in our own way!

This week, we continue to follow the story of the Israelites in 1 Samuel 8:4-20 as they call for a King. Pastor Joe explores why they might have wanted a king over God and how God chooses to be present with us in all our journey!

This week, we turn to the story of Samuel and how God calls him in the middle of the night. Pastor Joe explores the different ways Samuel responds and asks how we might respond to God's call for us today.

This Sunday, we celebrated Trinity Sunday! Preaching from John 3:1-21, Pastor Joe challenges us to move from certainty to mystery by changing the ways we experience the world! 

This Sunday, we celebrated Pentecost and spent time with our Pastoral Intern, Jancy Schrader, on her last Sunday with us. Sharing from Acts 2:1-21, Jancy and Pastor Joe discuss their noticing and wonderings, and how we can continue to be led by the guidance of the Holy Spirit!
