This Sunday we’ll begin the journey of Holy Week together as we remember Jesus’ great act of suffering love for us.  On Sunday, our service will be different than normal in that instead of a sermon, we will read responsively through the whole passion narrative beginning with the account of Palm Sunday. The service will culminate at the Lord’s Table.

How to Suffer Wisely

This Sunday we'll be looking at the subject of suffering and how to deal wisely with our seasons of pain. As we process the atrocities of the terrorist attacks in Israel, and the many innocent children, women and men who have been killed in Israel and Gaza, it is overwhelming to know what to do, what to think, or how to pray. Qohelet offers us wisdom to think about not just our own suffering, but also the suffering we witness in the world.
