"Be Alert" Rev. Landon A. Dillard Where do we see the kingdom of God? It is all around us if we are paying attention. The kingdom of God has already come in the birth of baby Jesus and it is not yet here as we wait for him to come again. In this season of Advent, let us lean into the kingdom of God and have HOPE.

"Spoiler Alert" Rev. Cathering E. Foster Some of the most popular stories ever told begin with the ending—Citizen Kane, Forrest Gump, Titanic, The Notebook. And we can add the Book of Revelation to that list. This Sunday, we’ll dive into the first verses of this vibrant text as we celebrate Christ the King Sunday in worship.

"The Nature of Faith" Katharine Kilcrease & Will Blass Join us for an exceptional worship service where Shallowford's youth have thoughtfully planned, written, and practiced for our worship theme, "The Nature of Faith."

"Unbound" Rev. Anna George Traynham Today, we observe All Saints Day as we grieve loved ones lost in the past year and reflect on the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. We remind each other that grief and hope can go hand in hand. Join us to sing, worship, and share communion together.

"The Next Step" Maggie Johnson, seminary intern These last several weeks, we asked the questions of "why" and "what" matters in the life of the Church. Shallowford's seminary intern, Maggie Johnson, asks us the question "who" will be with us on this "Next Step."

"Looking Back and Moving Forward" Reverend Anna George Traynham "If it had not been for God..." That's how Psalm 124 begins, as the people of Israel give thanks for God's protecting hand, guiding them through history. That is what we will do on Sunday at Shallowford, too: look back with gratitude at how we've made it this far (hint: God's grace!) and look ahead in faith at what lies before us (hin...

Join us as we read together Paul's letter to Thessalonica and gain his perspective on how we might be disciples that share the Gospel. Together, we'll reflect on what barriers and sacrifices keep us from being faithful and imagine the impact our discipleship has on our own lives, our church, and our world. #SundayatShallowford

11:00 AM Worship Rev. Anna George Traynham "Forward Together: Cause & Effect" What is your "why?" That's the question this week's scriptures ask of us. Why do we serve God? Why do we love our neighbor? Why do we give to the church? We will listen to Jeremiah's answer as we reflect on our own. Join us!

11:00 AM Worship "All Together Now" Rev. Anna George Traynham Join us as we celebrate World Communion Sunday this week! We will reflect on Psalm 24: "The earth is the Lord's, and all that is in it." On this day of "world communion," what does it mean that the whole world belongs to God? We'll explore (and feast!) together.

Join us as we explore unity, diversity, and our calling as the body of Christ, all through the lens of Ephesian 4. God is calling us, and God will equip us for the next leg of our journey together!

"Misinterpreting Greatness" Reverend Catherine E. Foster It has almost become a cliché: the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus models and restates this lesson. But as Good Friday looms large, Jesus draws his disciples close to revolutionize their understanding of greatness. Listen in on this insider tutorial.

11:00 AM Worship "Time to Move?" Guest Preacher, Rev. Dr. Ken McFayden In Mark 1:16-20, Jesus tells the disciples to follow him. In other words, Jesus calls them to MOVE! How might Jesus be calling us to move forward together? Join us to hear more!

This is the last of five weeks in our "Rekindling" worship series, and this week we will focus on sabbath rest. In the midst of our busy, busy lives, God calls - commands! - us to practice sabbath: to rest from work, make room for play, and orient ourselves in gratitude toward God.

The book of James is often over-simplified as the "good works" epistle. And while James does speak to the importance of acting out our faith, this short but powerful book also testifies to the poetry and practicality of the Christian life. Join us to learn from James about hearing and doing God's word. #sundayatshallowford

The world is hurting this week. We're drowning in bad news: another COVID-19 surge, the Taliban's takeover in Afghanistan, wildfires in the west, and an earthquake in Haiti, just to name a few. In the midst of that tragedy and heartbreak, we will pause, worship, and pray. We will make room for joy, guard space for silence, and lift our burdens in prayer, as we reflect on Matthew 6:5-15. Join us as...

1 Corinthians 13:4-13 "Love is patient. Love is kind." You know the rest, and you may have had that scripture read at your wedding! But did you know those words were actually written to a church that was bitterly divided? This week continues our "Rekindling" series with a focus on relationships, particularly faithful relationships in the church. How do we rekindle our bonds now, when many of us ha...

"Rekindling the Fire" w/ Reverend Anna George Traynham - August 8, 2021 by Shallowford Presbyterian Church

"Be Loved. Be Kind. Be You." Rev. Landon A. Dillard Be loved. Be kind. Be you. These simple words are the words we will use to bless our children as they go back to school but they apply to all of us. Our identity as God’s children is both a gift and a commitment. Join us as we explore what it means to be a child of God!

"Pass the Bread" Rev. Anna George Traynham Have you ever been hungry? We have all been hungry for food, at one time or another. What about meaning? Often we find ourselves hungry for meaning, and we fill ourselves with all the wrong things. As Jesus says, we "work for the food that perishes." What would it mean to hunger for the bread of life instead? Worship Bulletin: www.shallowford.org/wp-conte...

In Galatians, The apostle Paul writes to the Church: “Live by the Spirit, I say.…The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” (Galatians 5:16, 22) Taste the fruit of the Spirit! God’s love overflows for us and fills us up with love. This love continues to overflow, as the Spirit enables us to share God’s fruit by loving o...

Amos 7:7-15 Listen to powerful words from the prophet Amos. God holds a "plumb line" before Amos: a heavy weight hanging from a string, creating a straight line. Essentially, God shows Amos that Israel's actions are not "upright." Like Amos, we're called to see what is not "upright" in the world and help to make it so!
