Liturgy Reflection & Benediction 02.07.2016

Liturgy We follow you, Jesus, today as we worship; in words of love and devotion sung and spoken, in service and kindness, in shared life and sacred meal. And all we need do to follow you as we leave this place is to continue saying and doing – to others – what we bring to you in this hour. And […]

Liturgy Reflection & Benediction 01.31.2016

Liturgy Gracious God, into the shadows of our isolation you speak words of life and community. You challenge the lives we lead, and you call us away from places we try to call home to lead us more deeply into the world you love.

Liturgy Reflection & Benediction 01.03.2016

Liturgy God of renewal and recreation, As we observe the turning of the year, We know that all time is still in You. While we feel shaped by the sands sifting in the hourglass, We know that is the molding of your Spirit that truly brings us into who you have made us to be. Be with us this day […]

Liturgy Reflection & Benediction 12.27.2015

Liturgy The impossible is about to happen in a stable. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who lived in a land of deep darkness, on them has the light shined! This is the evening when creation stood still and held its breath, for God was doing the most unbelievable, dangerous thing. This is the […]
