Faith is best formed when we're together.
One part traditional, one part informal, all ages will find something meaningful in worship as we encounter the living God.
We’re excited to have the families of Northbrook lead worship on the first Sunday of each month. Northbrook member Steve Taylor will help us with music and our LOGOS friends will guide us through other parts of the service. You won’t want to miss this special monthly service: led by our young people, for all God’s people.
This Sunday, we will spend time with another of my favorite passages: the story of Elijah’s personal encounter with God in the sound of silence (1 Kings 19:1-13). As you know by now, I always love mysterious encounters with the Divine. In this story, it’s a welcome experience after a real low-point for Elijah. I especially love the repeated question to Elijah: “What are you doing here?” It’s a great question for all of us to ponder. I hope to see you on Sunday so we can ponder it together!
This Sunday, July 7, we will be exploring some unsung sheroes of the bible: Shipra and Pua, the midwives during the time of Hebrew slavery in Egypt (found in Exodus 1:8-20). Their radical resistance to Pharaoh is a story we rarely tell, and it’s timely in this independence season. Speaking of, I pray that you are having a wonderful and renewing 4th of July holiday, and please take a moment to pray for this wonderful and fragile experiment in democracy that is our nation.
This summer, we’ll be learning to love the bible again, both in our Sunday worship and in our Inspired summer book gatherings starting on July 7. I’m excited to be preaching on some of my favorite scriptures.
This Sunday, June 30, we’ll begin the series with the story of Jacob’s mysterious wrestling in the night in Genesis 32:22-32. In the midst of the struggle, Jacob didn’t let go. Neither did God. I hope to see you on Sunday as we explore the tenacious love of God.
This Sunday, we are going to have a different kind of Hymn Sing. Instead of taking requests from the congregation (don’t worry, we’ll do that again in the future), I will take some time to reflect on the hymns I have selected. Don’t worry, you’ll sing some of your favorites (as well as some new ones), but we’ll also learn some of the story behind the music. We’ll also get a chance to sing some songs that our musicians have selected!
