06/03/2026

Join us this Sunday, June 7, 2026, the Second Sunday after Pentecost and Communion Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom

This coming Sunday Knox Church will offer a lot of interesting, fun, and meaningful encounters -- a little something for everyone! This is the first Sunday of the month, so there will be communion! It is also Graduation Sunday, and we have a veritable host of young people “moving up and on”! We will honor them and their achievements during worship. Our texts this week will be Genesis 12:1-9 and Matthew 9:9-13 where Jesus calls Matthew to be a disciple (probably not the same Matthew who wrote the Gospel) and my sermon title is “My People”. Our word for the week from Sister Joan Chitister is “recreation” and what could be more fitting for the beginning of summer. It is also, according to our Presbyterian Program Calendar “Intercultural Church Sunday”. I’m not quite sure what I will do with that!

Now, if your head isn’t already spinning from all of this, our dear Hansonia has made us aware that June is African American Music Month. Observed annually in June, African-American Music Appreciation Month (originally established as Black Music Month) celebrates the vast contributions Black artists have made to American culture and global music history. It highlights foundational genres spanning spirituals, blues, jazz, R&B, rock and roll, and hip-hop, so during worship this month we will be featuring these various styles of music in our worship. Plan to join us for all of this, and who knows, maybe more!

Join us this Sunday, May 31, 2026, Trinity Sunday and Youth Takeover Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

This Sunday is our 5th Sunday in the month Youth Takeover Service. We will be meeting in the Sanctuary this week. Elder Damon Green will be preaching and his text is Matthew 20:16-20. His sermon title is “This Is the Way”. Plan to join us for worship in this most special way.

05/20/2026

Join us this Sunday, May 24, 2026, Pentecost Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

Pentecost is a church “season” and Pentecost Sunday is always celebrated on a Sunday 50 days after Easter (counting Easter Sunday), or seven weeks (seven times seven) not counting Easter Sunday –tah dah – this Sunday!

Pentecost comes from the Greek word pentēkostē meaning “50th” (day). Pentecost is a reference to the Jewish festival Shavuot or the Festival of Weeks, which is held on the 50th day after the second day of Passover. This festival celebrates

the giving of the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai. In Acts 2 (our text for this week) it is said that the disciples had gathered on the day of Pentecost, or the day of the festival of Shavuot. That’s when the wind and fire and Spirit came! Red is a primary color and a warm color, and you are all encouraged to wear something red to church this Sunday. It symbolizes fire, spirit, energy, passion, strength, power, intensity, courage, and determination. It draws to mind the flames dancing over the disciples and friends of Jesus gathered in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. Plan to join us for worship this Sunday!

Join us this Sunday, May 3, 2026, the Fifth Sunday of Easter at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

I literally stumbled upon this quote from Matthew Henry's (1662-1714) Commentary related to our Gospel text this week from John 14:1-14: "Here are three words, upon any of which stress may be laid. Upon the word troubled. Be not cast down and disquieted. The word heart. Let your heart be kept with full trust in God. The word your. However others are overwhelmed with the sorrows of this present time, be not you so."

In a later text (John 18:38) Pilate asks his famous question, 'What is truth?' and Jesus answers him with a silence that is overwhelming in its eloquence. In case there should be any question as to what that silence meant, on another occasion Jesus put it into words for his disciple Thomas. 'I,' he said, 'I am the truth' (14:6).

Our text this week also talks about us “being on the way” so we will explore what that means in 2026. Hope to see you all this Sunday.

Join us this Sunday, April 26, 2026, the Fourth Sunday in Easter at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

Below is the Collect (Prayer) for this coming Sunday. It does indeed sum up nicely the motivation and character of our lectionary texts from Psalm 23, Acts 2:42-47 and John 10:1-10 for this week. Hope to see you all in church this Sunday!

Good Shepherd, you call us by name and lead us in the way you would have us go, grant us the wisdom, devotion, and courage to follow you. We would dare to be disciples who are learning patience and generosity that we might share with others the abundant life you are revealing to us. You call to us and invite us to gather around you, to seek safety and shelter from storms and conflict. You push us to widen our circle of responsibility for your flock, touching the depths of our caring. We need your presence among us to be fully human, to be your friend. Amen.

Join us this Sunday, April 19, 2026, the third Sunday of Easter at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

This week we find ourselves on the road to Emmaus with Jesus and two of his disciples, although the disciples are clueless as to the identity of the stranger who has joined them on their trek (Luke 24: 13-35). As we move from the Gospel of John to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus greets the disciples with “Shalom,” which is sort of a cross between “Peace” and “Hey.” It’s both a meaningful greeting and a casual, every day one. Contrary to the rather casual encounter Jesus had with his disciple’s post-resurrection in John’s gospel, his friends did not experience it as either meaningful or casual; to them it was terrifying. The dead one is among them, and he is acting as though nothing weird has happened.

“C’mon, people. Here I am. No, really. Look at my scars. You can touch me and see that I’m not a ghost. It’s okay.” Some of them are starting to come around and then he asks for something to eat. They give him some fish, and he eats “in their presence.” Luke is obviously writing for those who say that the resurrected Jesus was not physical. Gosh, who would John have been writing to/for? Hope to see you Sunday. Pastor Ann

Join us this Sunday, April 5, 2026, Easter Sunday and Communion Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

Didn’t we have a grand time on Palm Sunday? It set the tone for Holy Week ahead, which will lead us straight into Easter Sunday. The Lectionary for Year A gives us Matthew’s version of the Easter event (Matthew 28:1-10) where we find all the Mary’s in the life of Jesus being dutiful and attentive to the body of Jesus, only to discover that it is gone! My hope for this Sunday is that you all will leave worship with both awe and celebratory power, eager to see where and how the risen one will meet you in your neighbors and friends, your prayers, your advocacy for what is good and just, and in your own gratitude for life and resurrection. We will also celebrate the Lord’s Supper this week and Michael Turner and our Music Ministry are planning some most exciting music. Plan to join us for this pivotal Christian year worship service.

Join us this Sunday, March 29, 2026, Palm Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. Passion / Palm Sunday begins Holy Week, a time in the church year when we remember how Christ gave his life in love for the world. As this service opens, people in attendance (young and old) wave palm branches and parade around the Fellowship Hall, their motivation being wanting to crown Jesus as king. But as the story of the passion unfolds, their shouts of praise turn to demands for his crucifixion; he receives a crown of thorns as he is handed over to be mocked and killed.

This is also a Youth Take Over Sunday, so Elder Damon Green and our young people will be leading worship using Matthew's account in Chapters 26 and 27. I hope you plan to join us! Pastor Ann

Join us this Sunday, March 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

We are fast approaching the conclusion of Lent and the convergence of Holy Week. On this 5th Sunday in Lent, we continue in the Gospel of John 11:20-45 with the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus has been told that Lazarus is dead and yet he waits four days before going to Mary and Martha. He even tells his disciples this brutal truth. So, on the fourth day he decides to go to nearby Bethany. This was the day considered to be beyond all hope. All through Scripture the third day is the day that God acts. Jesus arrives on the hopeless day, the fourth, but Lazarus comes forth out of his tomb when Jesus summons him. So many questions arise from this story. We will explore some of them this Sunday. Please join us!
