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.

A (re)Confirming Faith Sermon
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)

For today’s celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion / The Eucharist / The Lord’s Supper, those in the sanctuary who wish to participate will be invited to come down the center aisle to receive a piece of gluten-free bread and a small sip of non-alcoholic juice in a compostable cup. Folks participating online, we hope you prepare something to eat and drink to participate with the body. ALL ARE INVITED TO SHARE, INCLUDING CHILDREN. You need not be a member of this church or any church to participate but simply desire to receive this blessing in your life.

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.
