This Sunday we ordained our new Elders, or leaders serving on Session. This is a sacred responsibility based upon the principle of the “priesthood of all believers”. No person of faith is more important than any other. We all have gifts and we all have a calling from God, and how do we embrace these while still dealing with areas of weakness. God chooses imperfect people to be leaders in faith.
June 5, 2016: We are all Teachers and Learners in the Faith
This sermon is in honor of our Sunday School Teachers (for both adults and children). It considers how the journey of faith is indeed a journey of lifelong learning. None of us has “arrived”.
May 29, 2016: Baptism—More than Just Water
This sermon invites each of us to “remember our baptisms”. Water is used as a prominent symbol in our faith for a reason—it is dangerous and chaotic and yet is also a source of our life!
