When the world seems to be coming apart at the seams, God sends reminders of an unshakeable kingdom that is not of this world, but free to all. The kingdom of God confounds traditional schemes and affords a true hope. Rev. Amy Grogan brings our message today of peace and hope, based upon three of Jesus’ parables, told in Matthew 13:12-33, 44.
Worship today is just over 30 minutes, with song, scripture, prayer, and a short message. As we do each week, our closing moments together include a time of communion (breaking of the bread). We invite you to participate if you would like with some type of actual bread and drink you supply, or these elements held in your mind. You may also meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." All are welcome at our table.
