Sermon: Sighs and Wonders by Pastor Mark Harper
“ ‘Isn’t love enough?’ (Jesus) asks John. ‘No,’ John answers angrily. ‘The tree is rotten. God called me and gave me the ax, which I then placed at the roots of the tree. I did my duty. Now you do yours: Take the ax and strike!’ ‘If I were fire, I would burn,’ Jesus says. ‘If I were a woodcutter, I would strike; but I am a heart, and I love.’”
-Nikos Kazantzakis, The Last Temptation of Christ
We will celebrate Communion this Sunday.
Celebrating the sacrament on Zoom creates a challenge. If you are worshiping from home, we recommend that you prepare your own elements for communion – a cup of juice or wine; a piece of bread.
We may trust that the holy mystery of the Living Christ among us which we affirm in Communion is great enough to transcend the limitations of our distance from one another in a Zoom meeting in this hybrid form of worship.
Our services continue to be held in our Sanctuary. People are welcome to come to church for worship, and we will continue to live-stream our worship service.
Facemasks are currently optional. However, if you're not vaccinated, we recommend wearing a mask.
We recommend that everyone get the COVID vaccination and booster. If you have a vulnerable health condition or just prefer to wear a mask, please feel free to do so.

About Online Worship
We will gather by ZOOM (feed available starting about 10:45 AM).
Directions on how to connect and participate in virtual worship will be sent via a group.io e-mail. If you are unfamiliar with ZOOM we recommend you read up a little before the service.
We will set an informal and experimental mood, ask forgiveness as we stumble along our way in a new medium. It will be fun.
