April 26, 2026Sermon Series: "Power and Pentecost"Sermon: “The Thief in the Night”Scripture: John 10:1-10Rev. Bayo OgungbadeWe are going to learn how we can distinguish between the voice of Christ and the voices of our vices. In the midst of a world filled with so many voices competing for our attention, we’ll learn how we can pay better attention to Jesus’s voice - a voice that is even closer and louder than we may think. Jesus is our Good Shepherd, and as his sheep - his people, we must learn to recognize his voice.

April 19, 2026Sermon Series: "Power and Pentecost"Sermon: “Recognizing Jesus in the Work and the Welcome"Scripture: Luke 24:28-35Rev. Katie B. GoochTwo moments of recognition happen in this resurrection story:1 - Women showing up to do sacred, difficult work, and2 - Disciples sitting down at a table in welcome and relationship. Not in debate. Not in explanation. But in presence. God is revealed in these same spaces today—in the quiet faithfulness of those who serve and in the intentional creation of community. United Women in Faith are living witnesses to this truth, modeling a faith that is less about talking about Jesus and more about making space to encounter him.The following licenses apply to our worship services throughout the year:CCLI Church Copyright License 1975561, Size C CCLI Streaming License CSPL170027, Size CCCLI SongSelect Premium OneLicense Annual License w/Podcasting, Category DReferences for our April 19 services:“Say What You Mean (Without Saying it Mean)”Words and Music by Mark BurrowsIncorporating Ephesians 4:15© 2025 Choristers Guild“Beautiful Savior”Text: “Fairest Lord Jesus” from Münster Gesangbuch, 1677Tune: ST.

April 12, 2026Sermon Series: "Power and Pentecost"Sermon: “What’s So Great About Doubting?”John 20:19-31Rev. Dr. Peter MoonMany of us have endured the classic pattern. We celebrate the wonder of Easter, we boldly proclaim that Jesus is risen, that he is alive, and then the following week we run into doubting Thomas. There, in thousands of pulpits, we will proclaim the goodness of doubting. Doubting is a good thing, and acceptable thing. It is ok to have doubts and questions. Ok, maybe an ok thing, but Jesus in the story didn’t see it that way. Sure, he showed himself to Thomas, but he didn’t celebrate the doubt and seeking. He rebuked it and said we are blessed when we don’t do it his way. The sermon will remind us that doubts are not something to be celebrated. Belief and faith are to be lifted up. They offer confidence and movement. Doubt leaves us in stagnation.The following licenses apply to our worship services throughout the year:CCLI Church Copyright License 1975561, Size C CCLI Streaming License CSPL170027, Size CCCLI SongSelect Premium OneLicense Annual License w/Podcasting, Category DReferences for our April 12 services:“Love Brought Me Back!”Words and Music by Mark A.

April 5, 2026Easter SundaySermon: "Dying for Hope"John 20:1-18Rev. Dr. Peter MoonThe resurrection means many things. It means our sins are forgiven, that we will live eternally, that Christ is victorious over everything, so that we too can be more than conquerors. The list goes on, but one of the overlooked meanings of the resurrection is that it proves the eternal fruitfulness of Christ’s lifestyle of dying to self. He described himself as the seed that goes into the earth, dies, and then ultimately bears much fruit. The life of discipleship is really about dying to self. In so doing, we can ultimately bear enduring fruit and legacy. This is an often forgotten truth of the resurrection, but it is demonstrated vividly through the life of Christ, the Scriptures, and the last two thousand years of history. If we want to change the world or our world, it can’t be about me.

March 29, 2026Palm SundaySermon: "Behold Your King!"Philippians 2:5-11 Rev. Dr. Peter MoonOn Palm Sunday, we will hear Pilate in our scripture reading offer the words, “Behold your king!” In the same way, the palm procession of Jesus invites us to do this same thing. We behold our king. This king, on a donkey, arriving in humility, is not what we may think is the king we want. We want a king of power that will have the ability to execute the agenda we think best for ourselves and this world. God thinks differently. Our Lord knows that the king we want will not do what we need to have done. For this, a servant is required. Healing comes not simply by raw conquering power, but by servanthood. Therein lies the beauty and power of Palm Sunday.

March 22, 2026Fifth Sunday in LentSermon Series and Sermon: "Out of the Wilderness"Rev. Dr. Peter Moon, Lead PastorScripture: John 11:1-6, 17-27, 38-45 We humans can be hard-hearted people. We are stubborn, we resist change, and we want things our way. In contrast, the stories of Ezekiel and Lazarus represent a softer nature. Ezekiel, a chapter earlier, reminds us how God removes our hearts of stone for a heart of flesh. In our reading, dry bones come to life and breathe. Jesus weeps with tenderness alongside grieving people at a graveside. And then, into the hardness of death, he commands, “Take away the stone.” It isn’t so great to have a hard heart. Maybe that theoretically shields us from the pain, but it comes at a great cost.The following licenses apply to our worship services throughout the year:CCLI Church Copyright License 1975561, Size C CCLI Streaming License CSPL170027, Size CCCLI SongSelect Premium OneLicense Annual License w/Podcasting, Category DReferences and licenses for our March 22 services:“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”From Short & Sweet Hymns of JoyTune: HAMBURGMusic: Lowell Mason, 1824Arranged for handbells by Susan E.

March 15, 2026Fourth Sunday in LentSermon Series: "Out of the Wilderness"Sermon: "Anything But the Truth"Rev. Dr. Peter Moon, Lead PastorScripture: John 9:35-41John 9 is a lengthy account of the blind man who sees and the Pharisees who are blind. The sermon will speak to the lengths we will go to avoid the truth. The blind man saw the truth of Jesus. The Pharisees came up with every device possible to deny who Jesus was. As a result they were the blind ones. The sermon will speak of the many ways we do that today and encourage us to put aside these techniques, face the truth, and like the blind man, fall down in worship and belief.The following licenses apply to our worship services throughout the year:CCLI Church Copyright License 1975561, Size C CCLI Streaming License CSPL170027, Size CCCLI SongSelect Premium OneLicense Annual License w/Podcasting, Category DReferences and licenses for our March 15 services:“We Sing the Mighty Power of God” (“Hosanna, Loud Hosanna”)Tune: ELLACOMBEMusic: Gesangbuch der H.

As we celebrate Children's Sunday this morning during our 11:00 am service, we need to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to our Sunday afternoon kitchen crew. This team prepared and served over 1800 dinners for our children and youth every Sunday evening as they practiced music and had fun together! Some of their favorite menus included breakfast with square pancakes, Thanksgiving dinner, the all things green meal, Chipotle-style tacos, and homemade cakes! Emily Stover, the team's leader, says, "I am so grateful for their commitment, joy, and the fun they brought every week."
