Once upon a time, in a land where ancient stories whispered in the wind, there was a peculiar road that led to a quiet village known as Emmaus…

Our second installation in our Holy Ghost Stories series. A mysterious tree, a deep dark cavern, and a garden of miracles - what does today’s story hold for us?

Welcome to our 2nd annual celebration of spooky season and our “Ghost Stories” series. Hear this weeks story of the local haunted house and the spooky skeleton inside.

It’s World Communion Sunday, friends. We are connected today and everyday.

But that’s not fair!!! Humanity often nurtures a sense of us vs. them, and sometimes even a culture of fairness vs. unfairness when it comes to Love and compassion. God’s grace can seem unfair - and that’s the best thing about it!

So often Christians neglect their bodies - either shaming themselves or forgetting they have them altogether. But what if we were to look to the psalmists for ways to worship God with our whole selves - spiritual and physical - in a way that delights in our body's abilities and limitations as reflections of Grace in the world?

It sure has been a hot minute since we’ve been here! So what have we been up to this whole time?

Radical hospitality was an expectation in Biblical times. Generous welcome and care for the stranger often was the difference between life and death. Just because we don’t live in the desert doesn’t mean we don’t need to give or receive the same kind of care.

Today’s scripture gives us a lesson on what it means to be unafraid in the face of the unknown.

The Creation account is more than it seems.

It’s Pentecost, baby!

Lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi - Or, in other words, y’all: If we talk the talk, we gotta walk the walk and MEAN IT

A little reflection on this Sunday morning. How does this moment in Acts speak to the church today?

Peter’s faith in Jesus is the foundation of the church. A strong enough foundation that here we are, over 2000 years later, still standing upon it. Our foundation is our faith in Christ and who we say he is. Or is it?

It’s time to leave the gatekeeping behind, friends. The truth is, we (Mainline Protestants and for SURE New England Methodists) as a community are declining not because people have fallen out of love with God but because people have fallen out of love with CHURCH.

A special message on Native American Ministries Sunday. Hear guest preacher Mr. Todd Warfield, member of the Abenaki tribe, on Acts and reorienting ourselves daily.

It’s still Eastertide, friends! 1 Peter 1:3-9 speaks not just to the early church but to us in our time as well.

No matter what the world tells us, the resurrection of Christ matters. So, why Easter? And why should it matter to us today?

Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem stirred things up and set in motion the events we now observe as Holy Week. But why was the city on edge and what was it about Jesus that made everyone so nervous?

“When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.” Jesus is still calling us out into the world, still bringing us opportunities to reconnect with the life giving Spirit of God…even when we feel like we are too far gone to be reached

The Samaritan Woman at the Well. Her name is Photini - which in Greek means LIGHT. Appropriate because she truly is a light for many who feel unseen or unheard.

Nicodemus comes to Jesus with a question, and Jesus answers him in a way totally different from what Nicodemus was anticipating – totally unexpected. This is week two in Lent, and we are working our way toward Easter and Resurrection in an attempt to understand how we have an inside/out kind of faith.

Welcome to Lent, and the wilderness - what will your first step into the season look like?

What is Jesus REALLY saying in these passages about divorce, unaliving folks, and sweating oaths? Time to dig deep, friends and hear this in a different way.

Jesus calls us to be salty and get lit. I said what I said.
