The Creed
8.7 - 9.7.2025
Part of being human is believing in certain ideas that spark you to action. Whether it be a belief in family, social responsibility, or religious values, we all have beliefs that motivate us. They motivate us to speak out, take action, or even give time, talent and treasure to promote.
In the early Christian movement, literacy was an issue. So in order to teach the faith, creeds were developed and then recited in public worship. It was a way for people to make a public profession of faith as well as tell others what they believe in and what motivates their life and action. We still use the creeds today praying that with each recitation, we are motivated to go and be people who live out what they profess to believe.
Come and join us for the next few weeks as we consider the elements of the Creed which are God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and a bunch of stuff lumped together.

Coffee News
6.29 - 7.20.2025
At one of our favorite local restaurants, I recently discovered they have copies of Coffee News. Not sure if you are familiar with it, but it is a one-page newsletter with ads and snippets about local and world events. It also has your horoscope, fun facts and silly jokes like, “What do Sir Galahad and Sir Lancelot watch at 6 o’clock? The knightly news.” I think you get the point. In a recent edition the section titled “Everybody’s Talking” had four curious events. They struck me because they reminded me of things about the scriptures and the nature of the church. So for the next four weeks, we will use these stories combined with biblical texts to remind us of the Good News! I invite you to join us for our next worship series, “Coffee News.” - Rev. Dr. Jim Hoffman
