In this Sunday worship gathering on May 18, 2025, we read from Acts 11:1-18 and Psalm 148  with a sermon by Pastor Scott Crowder out of John 13:31-35 and Revelation 21:1-6.

A prayer -- "Surprising God, in the resurrection of Jesus Christ you make all things new. Long ago you called your church to a love beyond all cultural, political, and social differences and gave them the gift of your Holy Spirit to open their hearts to enact such love. Give us that same spirit of openness, that we too might discern new directions in our day for your dream to reconciles and heal all creation. In Jesus' name we come to you and pray. Amen!"

We celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ in this Sunday worship service. Listen to scripture readings from Isaiah 65:17–25, John 20:1-18, and 2 Corinthians 5:17–6:2 and a sermon by Pastor Scott Crowder.

What difference does believing that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead make?
Because Jesus is risen... it is the right time to accept the kindness of God; to return to Christ; to live as a new person; to forgive — and be forgiven; to seek justice — and embody peace; to reconcile with others; to be an ambassador of healing in a divided world.

Knowing God as Father means that we come from God. We are His children, and not just from our earthly parents. Consider for a moment, what it might mean to reject God as Father.  

Does this make us more free? Do we gain anything by announcing our independence?

​No, we are free only when there is someone who loves and whose love is strong. We are not free when we close off from love. Love grounds us. Love gives us what we need to grow. God’s love has given us the world. His provision makes life possible.

​[ALL:] Before I was born, God saw me and loved me. Being wanted by God is the trustworthy ground on which my life is standing. From here I can construct life. God’s grace is the foundation for my days. God’s love is the core of my being.
