Our reading from Genesis today is from Chapter 1. “God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.” Reflection – All of creation is described as “good.” How do you understand the word “good” in this context? Can you apply it to these strange days? See you tomorrow!

September 10 – Genesis
We are reading the Bible together for the next year. This first month we will read Genesis. Take a look at this brief outline, to get an overview of the stories. See you tomorrow!
Reading the Bible
Hello everyone. Our National Bishop, Susan Johnson, is encouraging us to a 4-year effort toward Spiritual Renewal. To that end, with the pick up in activity in our Fall season, she is asking us to join her in a year of reading the Bible. Each day, a couple verses and a couple questions will beContinue reading “Reading the Bible”
Getting Ready – What our Gatherings will Look Like
The Council of Zion has put the following video together to help members understand how our Sunday services will look for the next while.

We look forward to seeingContinue reading “Getting Ready – What our Gatherings will Look Like”

Worship in Interesting Times
At the beginning of this year, we thought the big news story of 2020 was going to be the election campaign in the U.S. Then it was going to be the uncontrolled wildfires burning in Australia. Then it was going to be Covid-19. Then it was going to be “murder hornets.” Now it’s the murderContinue reading “Worship in Interesting Times”
Worship for June 7, 2020
This is Holy Trinity Sunday. It’s an anomaly as far as church festivals go. It’s not based on a story (like Pentecost or the Epiphany). It’s not celebrating part of Jesus’ life (like Christmas or Easter). It’s not remembering a person (like one of the saints or martyrs). Instead, it’s proclaiming a doctrine, a teaching,Continue reading “Worship for June 7, 2020”
