We are in a sermon series for Epiphany Season!

Last week we heard from McKenna Lewellen about the intersection of disability and the Church, especially going forward into post-pandemic reality. In this final week of the series, we hear from Rev. Kimberley Copeland (an ordained minister and certified yoga instructor) about how pulling ourselves out of the center actually center us in God’s surprising calls for us.

Last week we heard from Rabbi Emma Gottlieb about how modern day churches can embrace hard conversations on privilege. This week, we hear from McKenna Lewellen about the topic of disability; how overlooked it is (especially in faith communities), how prevalent it is in the lives of those we love and relevant it is in light of covid-19.

Last week we heard from Rev. Steve Tillett about how to focus on the things that bind us rather than the things that divide us. This week, we hear from Rabbi Emma Gottlieb with challenges for modern day churches about how to reckon with our privilege and use it for the common good.  Rabbi Gottlieb is originally from Toronto, but is currently serving as the first ever female Rabbi of Temple Israel in Capetown, South Africa.

Also here is an article Rabbi Gottlieb wrote just last week reflecting on 2020: https://www.dafkadotcom.org/home/2020-and-the-evolution-of-progressive-judaism

We are in a sermon series for Epiphany Season!

Last week we heard from Rev. Jose Lopez Chapa about how he had an epiphany moment that changed his views on living with difference. This week (MLK Weekend and the PCUSA Race Relations Sunday), we hear from Rev. Steve Tillett about how his life experiences taught him that we are much more alike than different, but we need to learn to listen to each other. Rev. Tillett is the pastor of Asbury Broadneck UMC right down the street from us; the church that usually brings us the amazing winter gospel concert at Pits Stop. You will love what he has to say.

More than ever, we need to hear from alternative voices in this time; voices that challenge us to question God’s movement in this divided world and our place in it. Enjoy these conversations! I pray you would be as challenged and enriched as I was!
