Sunday, May 31, 2026 Worship Recap: Rev Kori Robins kicked off our Holy Spirit sermon series preaching on, "Holy Spirit: Paul's Letters". It was graduation Sunday, and we presented the Coy Maddry Scholarship. What a glorious day at Orange.

"When we don't have the words, the Holy Spirit does. In Romans 8:18-27, Paul reminds us that the Spirit groans with us in our suffering, intercedes when we can't find the words to pray, and works all things toward good — even when we can't see how. This Sunday, as we celebrate our graduates and the roads ahead, we are reminded that none of us are sent out alone. Join us as we explore what it means to rely on the One who is already at work in what lies ahead."

We invite you to reflect upon the following questions
1. Paul says the Spirit intercedes for us "with groanings too deep for words." When have you experienced a moment where you simply didn't have the words — in prayer, in grief, in uncertainty? What did that feel like?
2. Romans 8 promises that the Spirit works all things together for good — but not that all things are good. How do you hold that tension in seasons that feel genuinely hard or unresolved?
3. For our graduates: what does it mean to you to be sent out accompanied rather than alone? How does that change how you approach what's ahead?
4. Where in your life right now do you most need the Spirit to intercede for what you cannot yet articulate?

d Sunday, May 24, 2026 Worship Recap: Rev Adam Seate and Rev Kori Robins provided our Pentecost message. We also celebrated a baptism and welcomed new members!

"When the Holy Spirit rushed into the upper room on Pentecost, it didn’t arrive as a gentle whisper or a distant memory. It arrived as wind and fire. We often prefer a God who is manageable, predictable, and safely contained. But scripture reminds us that our God is a consuming fire—not to destroy us, but to refine, warm, and ignite us. This Pentecost, we look at Acts 2:1–21 and ask: what happens when the fire of God meets the dry wood of our ordinary lives? It burns away our fears, melts our divisions, and forces us out into the streets to speak a language the world desperately needs to hear: the language of God’s wild, unstoppable love. Don't pull back from the flame. Let it catch."

We invite you to reflect upon the following questions
1. In Acts 2, the fire rested on each of them individually, yet it brought them together as a collective community. How does the Holy Spirit uniquely gift you while still drawing you closer to the larger church body?

2. Fire changes whatever it touches—it purifies gold, burns away chaff, and provides light in the dark. Where do you feel the "fire" of God working in your life right now? Is it refining you, illuminating a path, or burning something away?

3. The onlookers in Jerusalem were bewildered because everyone heard the wonders of God in their own native language. What are some modern "languages" (e.g., acts of service, art, hospitality, deep listening) we need to speak so our neighbors can truly hear the Gospel?

4.It’s easy to let our faith grow lukewarm or settled. What is one practical step our group or church can take this week to "fan into flame" the presence of the Holy Spirit among us?

e Sunday, May 17, 2026 Worship Recap: Pastor Adam continued the God is Like sermon series, preaching on God is Like a Builder, "In Ephesians 2, Paul portrays God as a master builder who is crafting a new kind of community - one where strangers become citizens, outsiders become family, and individual lives are joined together into a Spirit-filled dwelling. Christ is the cornerstone who sets the alignment, the Spirit is the active builder shaping us into a unified structure, and we are the living stones God is fitting together with purpose. The good news is that belonging isn’t something we achieve; it’s something God constructs. Our calling is to join the project."
We invite you to reflect upon the following questions
1. When have you felt most “at home” in a community? What made it feel that way?
2. What does it mean for the church to be a “dwelling place for God”?
3. Where do you see God building community in our church right now?
4. What practices help us become “living stones” who show up for one another?

We were blessed to celebrate the sacrament of Baptism at our 9 am service, Baptizing 3 family members into Christ's Holy Church.

At our 11:10 Traditions service our handbell choir, the Orange Pealers, offered the anthem.

Sunday, May 10, 2026 Worship Recap: Pastor Kori Robins continued the God is Like sermon series, preaching on God is Like a Parent, "God’s heart is revealed as a parent: Psalm 103 shows a Father’s compassion, one who knows our frailty and meets our weakness with mercy. Hosea 11 adds the tender image of a parent teaching a child to walk, bending down to feed us and lifting us to God's cheek. God isn't just watching us from a distance; God is the loving caretaker who stoops low to hold us, guide us, and love us fully."

We invite you to reflect upon the following questions
1. Psalm 103:14 says God "remembers that we are dust." How does it change your view of God to know that God factors your human limitations into God's expectations of you?

2. Hosea 11:3-4 uses the imagery of a parent teaching a child to walk. Can you think of a time when you felt God was "holding you by the arms" during a difficult season of growth?

3. Hosea describes God "bending down" to feed God's people. In what ways does God "stoop low" to meet us in our daily lives today?

4. If we truly viewed God as a compassionate parent rather than a distant judge, how would that shift the way we approach God in prayer?
