Listening to our Hearts
May 22, 2024A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, I’ve been back from my renewal leave for six months this week, and I continue to feel the benefits of those four months away. Some of the gifts were expected — rest, time with family and friends, and a chance to travel were among the highlights. One of the greatest gifts, however, was entirely a surprise. The time away gave me time to LISTEN to what my heart truly desires. I’m…
Fill Your Cup
May 8, 2024A Note from David Bartholomew Dear Friends, So, you’re hoping to be in tune with today’s discipleship in a time when your views on social change can make or break nearly all sense of community? No matter what beat you’re marching to, we can all find common ground in the idea that we are here to do what He has called us to do. That is the very foundation of what led me to join the congregation officially…
Listening to our Hearts
January 3, 2024A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, 2023 was filled with life lessons. Some of these were lessons that I was focused on from the start of the year. I learned a lot about what it means to listen to my body and the valuable wisdom she brings. Renewal leave allowed me the space I needed to slow down and move at a pace that felt healthy and healing. (A lesson I’m still learning after coming back from…
Sunday Mornings
Godly Play Creating a space where children can wonder, slow down, and discover God’s presence Sunday mornings, 10:30-11:30am, in person in the Sanctuary building, chapel (upper level, education wing). What Is Godly Play? Godly Play is a Montessori-inspired approach to spiritual formation that invites children into the stories of our faith with imagination, play, and wonder. It helps children experience God in ways that are meaningful, developmentally appropriate, and deeply respectful of their unique spirituality. In Godly Play, children aren’t…
Moving Forward Together
November 13, 2025A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, This past week as I was driving home with my youngest son, he opened a personality quiz on his phone and started asking me questions. He wanted to know, “Mom, how much do you know about ME?” While I like to think I know my son better than most, I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t score very high. I knew his favorite color, favorite food, and ideal vacation destination, but…
Questioning our Assumptions
October 29, 2025A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, I was only two months into my very first ministry job as a youth pastor when I was invited by the senior high youth to a “meeting.” When I walked into the room, six high school girls had set up a whiteboard and prepared a bit of a presentation for me. It was an intervention. They began with a short list of things they liked about me, their new youth pastor.…
Rooted & Renewed
October 15, 2025A Note from Pastor Jon Friends, Just over twelve weeks ago, I stepped away from day-to-day ministry for the first time in twenty years for a season of renewal leave. Before I left, I shared my hope to reconnect with my roots — to return to the places of my childhood, revisit the spaces that formed my faith, remember the mentors and friends who shaped my journey, and rest long enough to breathe deeply again. My prayer was…
I Am From…
October 1, 2025A Note from Pastor April Dear Friends, As a way of continuing our preparations for the Season of Origins, it was my honor this past Sunday to share a bit about my own family’s origin story. Using the powerful framework created by Elaine Enns & Ched Myers, in their book Healing Haunted Histories, I shared some storylines that were woven together from the Landlines, Bloodlines, and Songlines of my life, my family, and the land that has shaped…
