Power Over vs Power WithSunday, 6/15 @ 10am EDT LIVE!
On-Site & Online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568 Since at least the time of the ancient psalmists, God has been described as a king... and kings described as gods... and the rest of humanity (and, let's be real: men) as "a little lower than God," and called by God to exercise dominion--power over--creation by "divine right." But with the Spirit's help and Jesus' example, we can imagine a "more excellent way." The key is there in the root of the word "dominion" itself: God and human beings not as tyrants but domestic partners, sharing power with creation and building a commonwealth for all and not a kingdom for some. (Psalm 8) |
Longing for GodSunday, 6/22 @ 10am EDT LIVE!
On-Site & Online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568 “As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Why must I walk about mournfully because the enemy oppresses me?.” If your soul is downcast and you feel like the waves of the world are rolling over your head, that’s not a sign of lack of faith, and you are not alone. Let’s sit together with that feeling and let it give voice to our longings, guide us deeper, and lead us a hope beyond hope. (Psalm 42-43) |
LGBTQ+ Pride Sunday: ResistSunday, 6/29 @ 10am EDT LIVE!
On-Site & Online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568 Malcolm X once said, “If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” Those same vicious lies can even make you hate yourself. Queer folks understand that, especially in this time of massive, government-driven hate. Resistance, at any level is simultaneously an act of lament, hope, and faith. (Matthew 15:21-28) |
