10am worship Service

 The Kingdom of Heaven is like a wedding banquet… and you’re invited!  This Sunday, we’ll explore Matthew 22:1-14 and ponder all the ways we miss out on the invitation.   We hope to see you on Sunday because - trust me - you don’t want to miss out on the party! 

 This Sunday, we gather with our sisters and brothers in faith from around the world to celebrate World Communion Sunday.  We will explore Matthew 21:33-46, where we’ll ponder the consequences of our tendency to hoard God’s gifts as our own.  We’ll also ponder the stone that the builders rejected and how we may be broken open for the world. 

 Last Sunday, we sang about The Heart of Worship, and this Sunday, we will again be challenged by Jesus to look beyond the surface to the heart of things in Matthew 21:23-32. Speaking of singing, we are also looking forward to the return of the Northbrook choir in worship on Sunday… though it may feel a little different than before.   

 The challenges continue this Sunday as we explore Matthew 20:1-16.  Maybe you can relate with those laboring out in the vineyard all day, only to discover that they were given the same wage as those who only worked an hour.  It’s not fair!  We want a sense of justice in the world.  Yet, we struggle with a God who is generous.  Join us for worship on Sunday to let the promise of God’s goodness settle into our souls.
