At some point you realize growing older does not automatically mean you suddenly have everything figured out. 😅 You still forget why you walked into the room. You still make questionable decisions sometimes. And somehow your inner child keeps surviving every birthday. Maybe wisdom is less about becoming perfectly serious… and more about learning to laugh at yourself with grace.

Life is heavy enough already. Don’t lose your sense of humor along the way. A joyful heart, good friends, and the ability to laugh through life’s chaos are gifts from God too. ❤️ “There is a time to weep and a time to laugh.” — Ecclesiastes 3:4

May we grow older without growing bitter. May we keep our joy, our kindness, and maybe just a little harmless mischief too. If this made you smile, explore our devotionals, worship playlists, and peaceful resources created to help you slow down and enjoy the life God has given you. Find Peace With God — link in bio.

In Bible study this week, people are asking the question, "Why is God so angry and destructive in the Old Testament?" The short answer is: God is begging people to be in relationship and to follow the covenant. When they don't, they fall prey to violent disasters pretty much of their own making.

Check out the Bible Project's short videos of Genesis 1-11 (8 minutes) and Exodus 1-18 (6 1/2 minutes). You'll get the idea:

https://bibleproject.com/videos/exodus-1-18/

We are reading through the Bible and talking about life, world issues, church and God together Wednesdays 11am-1pm (currently in Hosea).

We practice fearless hospitality and radical unity. YOU belong here!!!

What is the book of Exodus about in the Bible? Watch as we explain its major themes and gain a deeper understanding of its place in the biblical story.

Christmas baking! Rich buttery fruitcake with as many raisins and cherries as will fit in the cake. Tender crispy shortbread. Sugar cookies and ginger-bread. Tastes that are the very stuff of Christmas nostalgia!

But, with the demands of full-time wage-earning and full-time child-rearing, who has the time to bake? Some people, fortunately. For me, baking the traditional morsels is as important as having them on hand to offer to guests; and most of my recipes were developed in a time when people had many more children and grandchildren than is the norm nowadays. And, some of the things I love to bake (like fruitcake) are despised by my darling offspring.

So, here's the solution to both problems. Those of us who love to bake are donating our products to the Church, and those of you who love to eat them are invited to come buy them! Our bakesale will be December 14 -- THIS SUNDAY! -- right after the 11am worship service ends, which should be about 12:15. Everyone is welcome.

Christmas is a-coming, and we're inviting children to come and enjoy our Free Children's Market this Saturday, December 13 from 10am-Noon; at 3003 28th St SE.

Here's how it works:
- Children come with a parent or care-giver.
- our Hosts welcome the parent to sit down with a cup of coffee, while we find out from the child how many people they need presents for, and help the child make a list.
- a Personal Shopper takes the child through the Market; which consists of new and gently-used donated items suitable for giving to moms, dads, and siblings, such as those shown below; and helps the child pick out something for the people on their list.
- a volunteer wraps the presents for the child, so that they can keep the surprise for Christmas morning.

This is open to every child under age 12, who wants to celebrate this season by giving presents.

Just a reminder that this Saturday @ 9 am will be our Congregational/Community Breakfast.
