  • How to Rest (in a busy world) | Sermon by the Rev. Paige Blair-Hubert

    We are in a culture that values productivity. Maybe even productivity

    over persons. We often identify ourselves with what we do. What if we
    challenged that a bit and spent some Sabbath inviting God to show us
    within ourselves the beloved child of God that God sees. What if Sabbath
    was more than a cessation of the daily grind, but the kind of pause on
    the things that keep us from paying attention to God's presence. The
    kinds of things that distract us from the pain we feel. Because when we
    feel that pain and then let God be present with us in that pain, we
    start to understand even more God's love for us.

  • Creating the Future | How one refugee uses her past to help others

    "The Bible say God created the world beautiful. But in the time that I

    was in my world, my time, the region that I grew up, it wasn't
    beautiful. I didn't see the beauty of what God had created, how the
    world was beautiful at the time when I was young. That beauty did not
    even enter into my mind because there was a fear. Fear of not knowing if
    you're going to live tomorrow, war happening. But, today, I'm living in
    a beautiful city. I'm in a paradise."

  • Finding Your Motivation by the Rev. Paige Blair-Hubert

    "The miracle of Pentecost wasn't that everyone was speaking different

    languages and no one could understand anything. The miracle of Pentecost
    was understanding. The miracle of Pentecost was these people, these
    very, very different people from all over the known world, who'd come to
    Jerusalem at that time, understood each other."

  • "You do not walk alone" by Mary Via - Children, Youth & Families Minister

    The church has an important witness to bear when it comes to friendship

    to showing the world this gift that Jesus first offered us. And now
    that we are called to share with others, especially the lonely. And so
    many people are lonely. So many people need a friend. The friends who
    pray, "May you see God's life on the path ahead when the road you walk
    is dark. May you always hear, even in your hour of sorrow, the gentle
    singing of the lark when times are hard. May hardness never turn your
    heart to stone. May you always remember when the shadows fall, you do
    not walk alone."

  • The True Vine by the Rev. Susan Astarita

    God is the vine grower, the true vine -- the vine in the Old Testament

    prophets has become degenerate. And now Jesus comes along and says he's
    the true vine. And his father is the vine grower. So we know that we
    will have the energy to be the branches. We will bear fruit. And we will
    do it in the way that is comfortable for us.

  • Life Abundantly by the Rev. Paige Blair-Hubert

    And what does the shepherd do? He goes and finds him. That's right.

    Jesus goes and finds him. And they have a conversation and he becomes a
    disciple. And in the midst of this, we have Jesus say these beautiful
    words, which really speak to all of John's gospel, in which he says, "I
    came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
