  • The Beautiful Interruption - The Rev. Mike Angell
    Sep 28 2025

    Happy Michaelmas! Join us this beautiful Sunday as The Rev. Mike Angell re-examines the idea of interruption. Beyond being a rude habit, interruption can be a spiritual practice. A way to break through cynicism, fear, and hopelessness. He share a candid story about facing online vitriol and uses it to frame a broader discussion on how our faith calls us to be a beautiful interruption to the world's ugliness. This is a call to action to find courage, foster community, and choose love in a time defined by vision.

  • The Decision - The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater
    Sep 21 2025

    Join us on this fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost as The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater reframes a classic parable to expose Mammon, a corrupting force far more sinister than simple wealth.

  • Against the Logic of Violence: The Rev. Mike Angell
    Sep 14 2025

    Jesus tells a story that doesn’t make sense: a shepherd leaves ninety-nine sheep in the wilderness to search for one that’s lost. When the logic of the world leads to more violence, followers of Jesus are invited to be illogical, to confront a background theology shapes our politics, our divisions, and our assumptions about who belongs.

  • Radical Welcome - The Rev. Mike Angell
    Sep 7 2025

    Paul’s letter to Philemon challenges us to welcome the outsider as family. Jesus calls us to re-evaluate our values and embrace those who don’t fit our mold. True Christian welcome is costly, uncomfortable, and transformative. It means making space for everyone—especially the ones who challenge our comfort zones. 💬✝️ #RadicalWelcome #FaithInAction #Philemon #CostOfDiscipleship

  • This Is My Body - The Rev. Mike Angell
    Aug 24 2025

    The Rev. Mike Angell preaches on the sacredness of the human body. God cares deeply about our bodies, not just our souls.

    This sermon calls for a broader meaning of the term "Pro-Life," suggesting that it should encompass concern for all lives: the poor, the elderly, those with health challenges, and those who are oppressed. In these difficult conversations, we must practice humility and radical acceptance of ourselves and our bodies, learning to care for and accept this beloved gift from God.

  • Make No Peace with Oppression - The Rev. Mike Angell
    Aug 17 2025

    This week’s sermon wrestles with Jesus’ startling words: “I have come not to bring peace, but division.” What kind of peace does Christ offer if it’s not the Pax Romana, not the silence of fear or compliance? We explore the difference between false peace and God’s peace, a peace rooted in justice, community, and courage over fear—drawing on the witness of prophets, Dr. King, Oscar Romero, and Jonathan Daniels.

  • Do Not be afraid - The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater
    Aug 10 2025

    On this Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater reflects on the powerful biblical phrase, “Do not be afraid.” She explores how divine encounters—though often unsettling at first—ultimately reveal a God who gently nurtures trust rather than demanding unquestioning belief. In response, we are called to be spiritually prepared, to reimagine how we support others, and to help them recognize their own belovedness in the eyes of God.
