Join us for Worship on the (Hybrid) Steps this Sunday morning, where we invite you to worship outdoors near the steps and grounds of our church. Worship will be participatory, as we will ask folks to sing songs, read poetry, or bear witness.

Scripture: Psalm 66:16-20 and Mark 1:35-39

Sermon: “Temporarily Out of Service” by Pastor Mark Harper

An old grandfather said to his grandson … ‘It is as if there are two wolves inside of me. One is good and does no harm. But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. Sometimes it is hard to live with these two, for both try to dominate my spirit.’

The boy asked, ‘Which one wins, Grandfather?’

The grandfather smiled and said, ‘The one I feed.’”

Sermon: “This is Not My Grandfather’s Garden” by Pastor Mark Harper

“God of abundance, we want to perceive the possibility of peace.
Soften our hearts to do the work of undoing oppressions.
Ignite our spirits that they may long for justice.
Give us a vision for a world where justice blooms, here all are fed and all are free.”

Sermon: “Twins” by Pastor Mark Harper

“God takes you as you are. In the midst of your fears. In whatever room you or someone else has locked you inside. In whatever ways you have betrayed yourself or others or God. You as you are and not some fictional made-up future version of yourself who has managed finally to be a better person. You as you are. Peace be with you … .” Nadia Bolz-Weber
