The Prodigal Son and His Brother
Luke 15:1-3, 11-32

Some people need to go on a journey before they can come home and see it for what it is. This Sunday, Pastor Sally will reflect on this much-loved parable of separation, reunion, forgiveness, and celebration. Karen DeTore will share with us her thoughts on how music has helped her grow spiritually. She will also lead us in singing a new prayer response. Come join us!

"Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy?" Isaiah 55:2.

This Sunday, Pastor Sally will reflect on the very real experience of soul hunger and the ways it can (and cannot) be satisfied. As an extra treat, one of our companions, Charles Little, will share his experience of meditation and how it has touched his soul.

If your heart is longing for something more, something deeper, join us for worship at 10 am.

March 17
Sermon: "The Inner Sanctuary"

Psalm 27 is described as a “Triumphant Song of Confidence” and so it is. It was clearly written by
someone whose life was firmly anchored in their relationship with God. We have much to learn
from it. The writer asks “to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…”

We each carry within us an inner sanctuary where we are safe and can commune with God. We will take a few moments to find our way into that sanctuary and sit with the Holy One.

This Sunday, March 10 we will turn our attention to the power of faith. We will read Romans 10: 8-15 in which Paul speaks of the word that is near you - "on your lips and in your heart." Pastor Sally will reflect on the way faith sustains us and strengthens us. We will remember with gratitude those shining spirits who nurtured our faith and helped us grow. We will think about ways we can, in turn, be a light to others. Join us at 10 AM.

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
