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.
Chapter 10 in the Gospel of Mark wraps up with a healing story of a blind man named Bartimaeus. In so many ways, Jesus invites all of us to see anew. Edna Gadsby will join Pastor Ben to explore this text in a conversational sermon.
Immediately following worship, we will hold a congregational meeting in the sanctuary to elect officers for the new year. We have a great crew of folks who are eager to step into leadership next year, and we’re glad to share their bios with you below.
Do you ever find yourself striving for an important position? I know I have spent lots of energy striving for the influence and attention. In Mark 10:35-45, two of the disciples wanted to sit at either side of Jesus in glory. According to Jesus, the key to personal advancement is service to others. I’m excited to explore this with you on Sunday.
In Mark 10:17-31, a rich young man seeks out Jesus to ask “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Give it away. Jesus’ answer leaves the man confounded because he had many possessions. How might you be “owned” by your possessions, and how might Jesus’ invitation to give it away help set you free? What other things - fear, shame, anger, etc. - possess you and draw you away from Jesus? Come, learn more on Sunday!
Growing up has never been easy. Each phase of history brings unique challenges to young people as they grow. I’m looking forward to having a conversation with Ken Stetson this Sunday as we explore how Jesus welcomes children in Mark 10:13-16. We have some great conversations during our staff meetings, and I think you will appreciate his perspective as Youth Director here at Northbrook. As a part of our Family Sunday service, we’ll celebrate communion and kick off our fall stewardship campaign. I hope you can join us as we continue to learn about what love looks like...together.
