Ritual of Promise – In ancient times, rituals helped to remind the people of God’s promises and gave reason to trust what seemed to be impossible. Today, rituals start and keep us on our journeys of faith. (Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18)

Practice Gratitude – As we begin the Season of Lent and prepare to journey into the depths of spiritual life, we are encouraged to remember – like the people of Israel – moments of survival and gifts of “milk and honey” in the past. (Deuteronomy 26:1-11)

Holy Mystery – On this last Sunday before Lent, we hear the story of Jesus’ transfiguration. And we pause to celebrate and hold within us the presence of something more… something that will strengthen us for the journey of Lent that lies ahead. (Luke 9:28-43a)

Living as Disciples – We go deeper into the Sermon on the Plain, and consider what it means to truly live as disciples. (Luke 6:27-38)

Speaking Out

Spirited Voice – Anointed by the Spirit, Jesus brings the good new of God – release, recovery, setting free. The Spirit empowers us with boldness and trust to practice God’s good ways! (Luke 4:14-21)

Abundant Love – As God’s people, we live with an abundant spirit that stands in contrast to many of the world’s realities. And we imagine hope and possibility where there is none. (John 2:1-11)

Beloved – As we begin the Season after the Epiphany, we rejoice that God’s word continues to hold promise and power in our lives, calling each of us by name through living waters. (Luke 3:15-17, 21-22)

Pilgrims on the Road – We hear a story of the Magi’s pilgrimage to see the Christ child. And we consider similarities between their journey and our own. (Matthew 2:1-12)
