Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and father figures in our lives!! #FOR ~ Our Current Worship Series Most people are more familiar with what the church is against, rather than what the church is "for." We could make a laundry list of all the thing the church has been against throughout history: smoking, dancing, drinking, gambling...(having fun). Which is ironic, because Jesus' message in the Bible - over and over again - was all about who god was for! The Bible is clear: Jesus was for peace, for inviting and loving your neighbors, for the poor, for the lost, for community, for children, for sharing, for not fearing, for inclusion, for thankfulness, peace, hope and joy! ...and Jesus was for YOU!

Over the last year, we’ve experienced moments when we’ve felt stuck. Stuck behind masks. Stuck indoors. Stuck, not able to travel. Stuck at home with our kids, or spouses!? That’s how life is, though, isn’t it? We get stuck. Stuck in unhealthy relationships. Stuck in dead end jobs. Stuck in conflict, financial messes, and the political divide. Here’s something else that gets stuck: Our faith.How so? We might understand God’s love and the story of Jesus, but it gets stuck in our head and never makes its way to our heart. You might worship every Sunday, but that love struggles to find its way to work with you on Monday morning. You believe in God’s unconditional love for you and others, but in real life if you are honest you struggle to love your neighbor. For all of us, too often our faith gets stuck... Stuck in our heads. Stuck at church. Stuck in our beliefs. Lucky for us, God's love is on the move! During this series, we hope God’s love moves from... ...Your head to your heart. ...Your Sunday to your Monday. ...Your knowing to your seeing. Friends, God’s love is on the move!

"Are we there yet?" is not only a child's nonstop mantra on every long road trip you ever took. But these days, it seems we're all saying it. ARE WE THERE YET!? We're tired of waiting. We're all tired of waiting for COVID to pass. Tired of all the unrest in our world. Tired of wonky politics and restrictions and masks. The list can seem to go on and on some days. We just want life to get back to normal. "Are we there yet?" isn't just a question for family road trips and our current reality, it's a question that sits in the recesses of all of our hearts too. Don't we all long to "arrive?" To land in life...but we never seem to get there. We're always...waiting for something. Pursing something. Long for something. Chasing something...something that's just outside of our grasp. If I can just get that something, I'll be content. We have this belief that what I don't have is what I do need to be happy...be fulfilled...to get "there." We live this never-ending pursuit.

Today we celebrate the confirmation of Aurora Breidenbach and Alexa Valentine. We give great thanks to God for these two young women as they affirm their baptism into Christ.
