This Sunday

This Sunday is the 2nd Sunday of Easter. Robert Alexander will be preaching his sermon, "FOMO" based on John 20:19-31. All services will be held in the Sanctuary through September 1.

All of our Sunday morning worship services (8:45 and 11:00 traditional, 9:45 informal) are also live-streamed to our Facebook page and YouTube channel, which include a live chat feature. Free childcare is provided for all services (Room 14). You may also listen to our 11:00 service at WDAV (FM 89.9) and wdav.org.

Faith Formation Classes on the Move! Through the end of the church school year all adult and children’s Sunday School classes including childcare will be meeting in Dana & Watson classrooms, next door to the playground. There will be plenty of signs and Faith Formation leaders to guide you to your new classrooms during renovation. All Youth activities will remain the Congregation House. All adult midweek groups will be meeting online, off campus or in the Youth Lounge. Check with your group leader for where your group will meet.

Adult Sunday School Classes meet at 9:45 AM.

• Connections and the Covenant Classes – meet in Dana 146 welcomes Rabbi Barbara Thiede back for three Sundays. Her topic is "Who is the God of the Hebrew Bible?" How does the deity manifest in the human world? Is God behind bad things happening or does the deity just permit them to unfold? In this three-part series, we will first explore how God “appears” to humans (and in what forms). In our second gathering, we will consider what God seems to want from humanity, how humans interact with the Divine Presence, and whether God can change God’s mind. And in our concluding session, we will ask what the God of the Hebrew Bible has in common with the God we both pray to and long for. 
• Jubilee Class – meet in Watson 109 and will be discussing Walter Brueggemann’s Chosen: Reading the Bible Amid the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, focusing on chapter 4, pp. 40-53.
• Maloney Class – meet in Dana 153. Deborah Conner teaches on Faith of Four Friends, Luke 5:17-26
• Pines Class meet in the Davidson Room on the Pines campus. Richie King teaches on Faith of Four Friends, Luke 5:17-26
• Screen and Scripture is an intergenerational Youth/Adult class that meets in the Youth Lounge. Currently they are watching episodes of The Chosen, a series started in 2019 dramatizing the life of Jesus and his followers.
