Apostle/Apostate: Reformed, Reforming or Reified
As Presbyterians, we frequently hear the phrase "reformed and always reforming," but what does it really mean to be a reforming in our modern context? If we're "always reforming," how do we stay connected to our history and the roots of our faith? If it's true that a major reform happens in the church every 500 years, it seems we're right on schedule for the next big shift.
This week we (Jacqui and Shea) return to discuss the legendary reformers within the history of Christianity, beginning with Jesus himself, and illuminating God's perpetual invitation to take our own place among them.
Peace,
Shea & Jacqui

“In a maze we lose ourselves, in a labyrinth we find ourselves.”
We are planning to build our own outdoor labyrinth, a maze-like pathway for walking meditation and prayer, on the southeast side of the church building. It would welcome neighbors and church folks alike with protective landscaping and benches: a quiet little haven of prayer available to everyone. Learn more about how you can purchase a personalized, etched paving brick and pay with PayPal on our
web site. See samples in the church hall. Order forms are also on the welcome table in the hall. Help make this a gift to our community.
