For the week ending March 20, 2026

I look forward to being in worship with all y’all – those who will be present in the sanctuary and those who stream our service online - on Sunday. I’ll be preaching from John 9:1-7 (Jesus heals a man who had been born blind, setting off a chain of upheaval and disgruntlement among the locals) and 1 Samuel 16:1-13 (God sends the prophet Samuel to the home of Jesse, in Bethlehem, because God has found the next king of Israel). Like so many stories in the Bible, these two texts elevate off-the-radar encounters with common folk and stir our imaginations to wonder whether we also might experience such life-changing holy encounters. When we receive healing or are able to see things more clearly. When our path crosses with someone about to offer a word from God. When we come to realize we’ve been called by God to make another person’s day brighter or ease another person’s burden. Jesus stopped to see, and heal, a blind man. God called a young shepherd boy to be king. You are a beloved child of God. This is the day that the Lord has made!


It's starting to bud!

The Lenten Tree of Life: A journey toward renewal

Our Lenten Tree of Life is slowly coming to life.

As new buds appear, we invite you to add your own prayer, hope, or reflection.

Write on a tag or stone and place it on the board as we continue our journey toward Easter.

from Dave Nock

 “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important.”
It’s concise, but it opens up a whole world of meaning: priorities, purpose, responsibility, and the kind of steady resolve you model when you think about family, community, and resilience.
