Sunday Preview (February 19, 2023)

Live DIFFERENTLY | For the next 3 Sundays, we are going to dive into the book of RUTH. This short book (only four chapters) is flooded with wisdom and insight for how we can LOVE, SEE, and LIVE DIFFERENTLY. For the Bible nerds – we are going to dive into some fun historical context as we explore the story of these two women in the Ancient Near East. For the theologically inclined – this book has much to debate and speculate and wrestle with. For those that just like a good story that they can learn from – although this story is thousands of years old, the timeless truths are plentiful.

Feb 5 will be taught by Pastor Jason

Feb 12 will be taught by Pastor Jen Spicklemeir (Osseo UMC)

Feb 19 will be taught by Pastor Jason

If you are interested in going a little deeper, check-out the podcast SEARCHING THE SACRED. This podcast (co-hosted by Pastor Jason) does a deep dive into the story of Ruth. Interesting episodes for this series…

Ash Wednesday Service – Next Wednesday

Join us on Wednesday, February 22nd for an interactive and contemplative service. Ash Wednesday is about remembering our humanity and the sacredness of each breath. We pause to remember that life is fleeting, but full of meaning and purpose. There isn’t a moment of life that we are separated from Christ’s love. The Lenten journey begins in humility. Let us begin this journey together.

Do you have a specific need?

Do you want to share a specific celebration of gratitude?

Peace Prayers is a space to share specific prayer requests and specific celebrations of gratitude. These are not going to be private…these are public. Our plan is to put them in the bulletin and/ or on a slide in The Commons, and include them in the Tuesday News weekly email.

We invite you to share with one another so we can be a praying people – both in times of hurt and struggle, and in times of joy and celebration.
