SUMMARY:February 1\, 2026 - Sunday Worship @ 10:00 a.m.
DESCRIPTION:We are more than halfway now through our Epiphany Series “Glory Revealed” as we have been seeking God’s glory in our lives and how our lives might be beacons of God’s glory. Today we ask the question “What is good?” as we read two texts from scripture that point us towards “The Good Life…” Though\, the gospel’s understanding and the world’s understanding of “the good life” may just be two different things. The Prophet Micah points us towards justice\, kindness\, and humility\, while the Sermon on the Mount points us to a radically alternative way of living. Today’s worship will call us to hold our understanding of “What is good?” up next to the gospel that we might find God’s glory somewhere in the midst of it all. We will also share the bread and cup of communion on this first Sunday of the month.

SUMMARY:February 8\, 2026\, Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:In this season of Epiphany\, you are invited to worship\, not just for an hour a week but with your whole life\, making every day\, every moment\, living worship to God. This is a call to action for our own good and for the good of society as we accept the invitation to live out our faith in real-world ways. Faith is a set of beliefs and a pattern of behavior. Jesus shares the kingdom vision with kin-dom relationships that shape us as the body and reconciles the world. This reconciliation is not just to those who are like us. The vision is larger\, as it extends through God; it is inclusive as people respond by becoming the light and love for the world. Let us answer the call to live worship both inside and outside the sanctuaries we build. In doing so\, we glorify God and reveal God’s glory to the world as we worship in a jazz musical style. Come\, let us worship!

SUMMARY:Sunday Service February 15 - Transfiguration Sunday
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday brings closure to the season of Epiphany and serves as our transition into the season of Lent. On this day much is confirmed about Jesus\, while the events of this day draw us deeper into the mystery. Jesus stands on a mountain with disciples when Moses Liberator and the Prophet Elijah stand on either side. Light radiates from Jesus and the voice of God confirms the truth of his baptism that he is God’s son\, God’s beloved\, followed by the command to the disciples to listen to him. The glory of God is revealed fully in Jesus and confirmed by the law and the prophets. The disciples do not know how to respond. How are we to respond to the revelation of God’s glory?

SUMMARY:February 22 - Sunday Worship @ 10:00 a.m.
DESCRIPTION:First Sunday of Lent: \nThroughout this season of Lent\, we are attentive to the cry of the prophet Amos\, who proclaims that God desires for our worship and our ways of living be centered on justice. “Roll down\, justice\,” as God renews our hearts\, minds\, and spirits. This renewal provides the devotion to serve the world with compassion and solidarity that is true. This justice-seeking and making begins within our own hearts\, as we claim our belovedness as our grounding because nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Come\, let us worship! \n“I’m convinced that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus our Lord: not death or life\, not angels or rulers\, not present things or future things\, not powers or height or depth\, or any other thing that is created.”  ~Romans 8: 38-39
