SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday: Shattered
DESCRIPTION:All music is included in the bulletin\, but will not always be on screen\, so we recommend printing the bulletin (linked below) in advance as you’re able. \nAsh Wednesday is a time of naming brokenness. As we enter the season of Lent\, we commit to enter also into a season of healing and recovery that requires the naming of what has been shattered as a first step. We take “the yoke” of responsibility as disciples of Jesus to be the Body of Christ–a body of those who need healing and offer healing in the world. The promise of Jesus is that he is with us in our weariness and burdens. \n“Come to me\, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens\, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you\, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart\, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy\, and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11: 28-30

SUMMARY:It'll All Make Sense On the Other Side of Easter
DESCRIPTION:This weekend in worship we celebrate Transfiguration Sunday\, that great moment when Jesus is illuminated on the mountain\, and voice of God speaks saying\, “This is my son\, the beloved…” while Moses and Elijah minister to him. Moses is the embodiment of all the law and Elijah is the embodiment of all the prophets. This moment serves to affirm that Jesus will be the fulfillment then of all the law and all the prophets. But let’s not forget about the disciples who in that moment saw Jesus like they had never seen him before…a real mountaintop moment. It raises the question “What are some moments you have seen Jesus like never before?” When all when was finished Jesus told them not to say anything until after his resurrection. Why? Because some things only make sense this side of Jesus’ resurrection. Which raises another question. “What are some things that only make sense because of Jesus’ resurrection?” Also\, this Sunday in worship we celebrate Kaden Seals’ Baptism! So grab a cup of coffee and join us!

SUMMARY:Rising & Looking to a New Horizon
DESCRIPTION:As the Gospel of Mark continues to unfold in the first chapter\, the Gospel writer maintains in his direct and uncomplicated style. In the healing story for today\, Jesus simply “raises her up.” Simon’s mother-in-law had been bedridden and Jesus comes to her takes her hand\, lifts her up\, heals her and “she began to serve.” This Sunday is the last of our series “Rhythms of the Soul: Rising & Looking to a New Horizon.” We are joined by Michigan folk artist and social justice activist May Erlewine who will share her song “Shine On.” The Scripture of the day and May’s song will stir our souls\, inspiring us to find ways that we may be light bearers who believe in the healing power of love as we serve the world.
