Pastor Earl preaches on the miracle story of feeding the multitude in the Gospel of John and its enduring message of the world that Jesus wants to make with us here and now.

“ At its essence, a miracle is a message… A miracle is God’s extraordinary message in the midst of the ordinary; it is an exercise not in the supernatural or in the irregular but in communication.” – Peter J. Gomes

Pastor Teresa preaches and the sermon text comes from Mark 6:30-34 where Jesus invites the disciples to get away for a time of rest. We also hear a reading from Psalm 23 as we remember Jesus The Good Shepherd who extends compassion to our weary souls.

“A great benefit of Sabbath keeping is that we learn to let God take care of us — not by becoming passive and lazy, but in the freedom of giving up our feeble attempts to be God in our own lives.” –Marva J. Dawn

We hear the Gospel story from Mark 6:1-13. Jesus is rejected in his hometown and then sends the disciples out two by two.

We celebrate Trinity Sunday! The doctrine of the Trinity often sounds heavy and makes us wonder what this ancient doctrine about who God is has to do with who we are today. Come with an open heart as we meditate on the meaning of the Trinity and celebrate divine love in its diversity and communion.

This Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost Sunday! Pentecost is the day in the Christian Calendar when we remember the coming of the Holy Spirit that birthed the early church

“If we are willing to be amazed, Pentecost is one of the most awe-inspiring days in our Christian calendar. If we are willing to be transformed, it is an opportunity to be renewed in energy and faithfulness toward the work of God’s kindom on earth when all people will experience true liberation and boundless love.” - Sarah Speed, A Sanctified Art
