Discouraged and Inspired

By Rev. Wendy Depew Partelow: “I wonder: What was John’s life like growing up, born for this specific purpose? It must have been a favorite story told to him by his parents from the time he was very little. How he was a miracle sent by God.”

“The Heart of the Matter” Chapel Worship November 25, 2020

We celebrate Christ the King Sunday. The past few weeks have all touched on loving our neighbors to one extent or another. Today’s text helps us learn how living into the understand of Christ being sovereign in ourselves makes loving our neighbors second nature, and what that says about us as people in the end.

“Getting Ready To Get Ready” Chapel Worship November 11, 2020

Advent is coming!
The texts for the final few weeks before advent are also all about getting ready for Christ to return or be born, or be with us, or well…. there are a lot of ways to look at it. Today’s text from Matthew 25:1-13 is a parable that points us to looking at getting ready in a particular way: how we live in the world each day.

By Rev. Wendy Depew Partelow: “Soon we will enter a New Year and Advent, a time of waiting for the coming Messiah, the birth of a child that will grow up as the Christ, and through his life will live the love of God, that we might live it too! There’s hope in that!”
