Second Sunday After Pentecost
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND!
New Worship Series - OPEN
Sermon: Rev. Jim Berlau
Open Mouths: "Spoken into Creation"
Scripture:
God is creative. In fact, God's creative force is continually at work, doing a new thing within us as individuals and a community of faith. The Spirit continually works to redeem humanity, restoring the created order and reconnecting what we have divided. Therefore, we must remain open...open to new ways of offering help, hope, and healing to those seeking more in their lives. We must be open to embracing all people, no matter where they are from, what they look like, or what they've done. And we must be open to emerging opportunities to take action outside of the walls of the church to engage in the life of our families, our community, and our world. Our God is ever creative; therefore, we must remain OPEN.
- June 25 - Open Doors: Creative Hospitality (Genesis 18:1-15; 21:1-7)
