We Rejoice This Sunday will be the Third Sunday in Advent. We rejoice, not only because we get to see friends and family and feast with one another, but because the oppression, injustice and violence of the world are not final. Christ comes to begin the work of setting the world right. Join us on Sunday morning, December 17, for the…
We Prepare: Advent 2 This Sunday is the Second Sunday in Advent. Waiting in Advent is not just passive. It is a chance to prepare.

Where Our Treasure Is Scripture talks about possession more than any other subject. Why? Jesus gives us a good answer – where our treasure is, our hearts will be. That’s the inverse of how we often think of it – that we give support to the things we already love. Jesus’ challenging words invite us to see it the other…
You Never Know The prophet Amos speaks challenging words on God’s behalf to the people of Israel, declaring that God is not pleased by their religious practice if they ignore the call to live justly. Jesus offers a warning to his followers to keep alert and not to lazily await the day of their deliverance. These warnings offer us guidance…
Just Plain Saints When Scripture speaks of the ‘saints’ we might imagine the well-known heroes of the faith. And of course the lives of these saints can be inspiring. But the saints of our tradition are also all of the faithful ancestors who have come before us. More than that, WE are saints – those called by God to lives…
A Legacy Worth Leaving Join us as we celebrate the early beginnings of our church and welcome special guests who represent the families who moved our church from Greenwood to South Shore.

Go a Mile: A Better Future We might feel uncomfortable discussing the issues of racism in our country (and in the Church), but our call to justice compels us to work to eliminate racism from our communities.
