We continue through the book of Esther today, and ask ourselves what it means to love strategically.

Esther doesn't get much visibility in the Revised Common Lectionary, and it's not hard to see why! It's a wild book, full of ridiculous stories.

But maybe we miss something when we don't engage it on its terms? We'll explore that today.

What if immigrants - who are already Christian - are a gift God is sending to the church? How can we move past the political noise to see those around us as members of our holy community?

Rev. Dr. Jeff Schooley joins us at SJPC to explore these issues.

We welcome Jan Maloney to the pulpit today as she begins her journey towards seminary, exploring the issues of control. What does it mean for Jesus to be in the midst of a storm?

Storms happen. We witness them, we're in them. As we spend time considering what it's like to live in a country that is in conflict, we will hear the story of a shipwrecked Paul and how we might find ways to move through the storm.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in defining things, controlling things, that we forget to appreciate the relationship we can have with wonder. We'll explore that today on the Sunday we mark Trinity Sunday.

Good morning and welcome to Pentecost Sunday! So much is happening today!
