May 02, 2023 Enjoy One Another
Preacher: Rev. Donna Claycomb Sokol
Scriptures: Psalm 23 & Acts 2:42-47
This week we discus how the disciples shared much time together, broke bread together with glad and generous hearts, and had the goodwill of all the people. They supported one another and enjoyed one another. How might we enjoy one another today in ways that alleviate loneliness and remind us that we do not have to do life alone? How might the simple act of spending time together transform us and the community around us?

April 17, 2023 The Ways of Life
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol, Pastor
Scriptures: Psalm 16 & Acts 2:1-14a, 22-32
The last three years have brought about significant amounts of trauma, deeply destressing or disturbing experiences, and new learnings in the lives of individuals and communities. As we continue to emerge from all we have experienced from multiple pandemics, how might we lean into all that nurtures life within us?

April 03, 2023 Punching Holes in the Darkness of Imperial Power
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol, Pastor
Scripture: Matthew 21: 1-11
Holy Week began this Sunday, as we remember Jesus arriving in the city of Jerusalem, the place where he informed his disciples he would be mocked, flogged, and crucified. While "the crowds" cheered him on, "the entire city" was in turmoil as people inquired about the person who came riding in on the back of a donkey and a colt. The entrance symbolizes the clash of two very different kinds of power. One is marked by humility, non-violence, and compassion for all. The other is marked by dominance, weapons, and wealth for a select few. What side would you have chosen if you were in Jerusalem that day? What side have you chosen today? While it might be easy to shout "Hosanna" at the start of the week, are we willing to pay the price that comes with following Jesus all the way to the cross?

look to address questions about despair, through the witness of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The story of Lazarus is a powerful one of a dead man who is brought to life. Is it too good to be true? Or might Jesus also be trying to unbind us and set us free?

we encounter a man who has been blind from birth. While he cannot see Jesus, Jesus sees him, touches him, and gives him sight. The "light of the world" punches a hole in the darkness that prevents him from seeing the fullness of who he is and who Jesus is.
