This week Rev. William H. Lamar IV explores the themes of worship, community, and the ongoing act of creation by God. He reflects on the importance of revisiting the creation story, emphasizing that God is not finished creating and that we are called to be co-creators in the world. Rev. Lamar addresses the chaos present in society and personal lives, reminding listeners that God hovers over chaos, bringing order and hope. He encourages active participation in God's creation, urging individuals to embrace their roles in shaping a better world.


This week's scripture - Genesis 1:1-5
When God began to create the heavens and the earth, 2 the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
