The Beauty of a Question...

Let’s be honest. Pastors rarely talk about questions. We seem, regrettably, to prefer fixed answers. However, that is not what people need today. People have questions about God, about faith, and about a world bent on self-destruction. Questions have been part of the Divine-human conversation since the beginning of time. Some forty percent of the Psalms are questions raised to God. Jesus’ disciples consistently questioned this itinerate preacher who taught, healed, and offered forgiveness with God’s authority. The intricately woven parables are, in truth, questions to be pondered. Unfortunately, we often confuse questions with doubts and doubts with the total denial of God. Questions raised in faith are true doorways to a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ. God gifted each of us with minds and bodies that are to create, inquire, ponder, and continue the work of God’s good creation. Now, that is genuinely Good News.

Blessings,

Pastor Tom 

Church Council Meeting

Tuesday, January 25

6:30 pm

Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend

Winter Bible Study

Our winter Bible Study, The Psalmist's Voice, offers a unique perspective on those poetic, often haunting, hymns that speak to the intersection of God and human history. Far more than simple worship hymns, the Psalmists raise the most basic questions about what it means to be God's chosen people. Through the lens of selected Psalms, we will consider those very questions within the contexts of our lives and our world today. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. No prior knowledge of the Psalms is necessary.

We meet Wednesdays, 10 - 11 a.m. at Salem UMC and from 6:30 p.m. to 7: 30 p.m. at the Church of the Four Seasons. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the church office. The study concludes on February 23rd.
