On our first Sunday in the Season of Creation, we celebrated the theme of Living Water, exemplified by the display simulating water flowing from stone. Our reflection was given by David Haskell, noted biologist and author who has just written "How Flowers Made the World". We were inspired by his stories to better care for the waters. We also listened to Marilyn McGinnis' story of the history of El Refugio at Stewart Detention Center. Established 16 years ago, this hospitality house hosts volunteers and family members of those in detention, visits those who have no visitors, and stands in solidarity with all those affected by immigration detention and deportation. She shared a particular story of a young man whom she visits regularly. She created the banner seen in the picture and we had a group picture taken behind it. It will have a place on his wall to remind him there are folks who care about his situation.

Last Sunday's service included a Dedication for Sophina (shown in pictures) and a sending blessing for Marcela who is beginning college in a few days. We are grateful for these shared moments as a congregation.

Today at Wild Church, we explored how nature helps us connect to an inner spirit of peace. Then the children created a web that connected us all.

Today's service focused on evangelism. It was provocative, invoking memories of bad experiences from likely well intentioned teachers who used fear and images of hell to invite our repentance. Instead, today we focused on what is true evangelical faith as originally described by Menno Simons and recently written as lyrics to a new song by Jeremy Kempf and included in Voices Together. Our favorite musicians Leah and Mags, on drums and electric guitar, accompanied James as he led us in this rousing song which may become the AMC anthem. Here are the lyrics and a video of the 1st verse.
:
True Evangelical Faith

True evangelical faith can’t lie dormant.

True evangelical faith is proven by love.

True evangelical faith dies to its old self.

True evangelical faith says “Jesus is Lord.”



Refrain

If we truly believe that we’re born of God,

And carefully walk the path that’s good,

And bury our sin in the death of Christ,

We’ll be walking together in the newness of a baptized life.



True evangelical faith tends creation.

True evangelical faith gives to the poor.

True evangelical faith binds up the wounded.

True evangelical faith loves and serves all.



True evangelical faith works for justice.

True evangelical faith prays for its foes.

True evangelical faith counters oppression.

True evangelical faith shakes evil with good.

We hope you will consider worshiping with us at 10am each Sunday. Dress is casual and children are very welcome.
We have three different worship styles of worship each month, and this is the schedule for those:

On the 1st, 3rd, (and 5th if scheduled), we have a traditional worship service centered on a reflection (sermon) with a time of response and sharing of joys and concerns. Communion is served on the 1st Sunday of the month. We have an activity section available for kids. Coffee and snacks are in the back of the sanctuary and folks are free to partake during the service as well as afterwards for a time of socializing.

On the 2nd Sunday, we have Wild Church. We meet outside and worship with Nature reminding ourselves of our place within the web of life.

And on the 4th Sunday, we have a Taize worship service which features meditative singing and periods of silent prayer. Following this service, all are welcome to stay for our monthly potluck.
