Join us for some gently spooky but not-so-scary fun at our 8th annual Trunk-or-Treat. We fill the church parking lot with decorated cars (and people!) and invite children to come in their own costumes and trick-or-treat from trunk to trunk. (All candy is nut-free and non-candy treats are available.) There will also be opportunities for photos in our Halloween inflatable garden and volunteers on hand to help you get that perfect Halloween family photo. This event is GREAT for the youngest ghouls and goblins! There is NO religious content, and the event is 100% FREE.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our Sensory-Friendlier option from 2-3pm will have fewer people, less noise, and no Halloween masks. IF THIS IS -NOT- SOMETHING YOUR FAMILY NEEDS, -PLEASE- COME FROM 3-4:30PM.

An All-Ages Storybook Sermon
What Is God Like?
by Rachel Held Evans & Matthew Paul Turner,
with illustrations by Ying Hui Tan
10/4 @ 10am, on-site & online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568
What is God like? That’s a very big question, one that people from places all around the world have wondered about since the beginning of time. And while nobody has seen all of God (because God is far too big for any of us to fully see), we can know what God is like.” Thus begins this fun, fantastic, and faithful book for children and others of all ages by beloved former Evangelical turned progressive Christian theologian and writer Rachel Held Evans. What follows is an accessible and intriguing exploration of the character of the God of Jesus Christ and our God–the God who invites us into loving relationship.

Coming Up in Worship
God: A (re)Confirming Faith Sermon with Brunch to Follow
10/11 @ 10am, on-site & online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568
We can’t say everything there is to know about God. All our language about God, even our direct experience of God is as limited as our finite human comprehension. But we can say something, even something true, just at a slant. God isn’t a father, but God is like a father. God isn’t a rock, or a mother hen, or the “ground of all being” or “that than which no greater can be conceived,” but God is like all these and more. God is always more, and the moment we limit God to “our poor reach of mind,” we’ve made yet another idol. Our spiritual ancestors wrestled with this question for millennia. Now it’s our turn. Who/ what/ how/ where/ when/ is God for you at this point in your life, and why? (Acts 17:16-34)

Being Holy Means Getting Messy
with special music by The Lincoln Traditional Jazz Band
10/18 @ 10am, on-site & online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568
In If Grace Is True: Why God Will Save Every Person, authors Philip Gulley and James Mulholland write: “I know a woman who is fanatically clean. Her home is spotless. She dons white gloves and moves from room to room, checking for dust. . . .Sometimes we talk as if God is similarly obsessed,” as though to be truly holy means to remove oneself (and one’s church) from contact with the less-than-perfect world. But God knows–and Jesus shows–being holy means engaging with the messy world, trusting God’s grace to anchor us in justice, peace, and compassion. (Leviticus 10:selected verses).
Church member Peter Wells and The Lincoln Traditional Jazz Band will share special music with us during this service.
