Nancy E. Petty; Text: John 10:11-18 The Bible uses language that can feel very foreign to us. It is a world of lords and kings and shepherds, of arks big enough to carry two of every kind of animal created, and manna floating down from heaven. It is a collection of books that were written...

April 22, 2012--What's the ask?
Nancy E. Petty; Text: Acts 3:1-16 What’s the ask? It’s an oddly phrased question—one I am sure that our English guru’s would take issue with in terms of grammatical structure. However, I thought of this awkward three-word question this week after reading the story...

Larry Schultz; Texts: Zechariah 9:9, Matthew 11:1-11 If passers-by were to peek in and listen to our worship expressions this morning, they might ask: “What’s all the shouting for?” Worship on Palm Sunday brings us to the concluding days of Lent and to the dawning of...

Nancy E. Petty; Text: John 12:20-26 Hola. Buenos dias. Si. I didn’t venture past those three words this past week and at times I messed those up. But it was an amazing week in Nicaragua and I want to thank you for keeping my planes in the air! Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, “It...
