| Lunch & LearnTHIS SUNDAY! April 21 @ 12:15 pmClimate change is a scientific problem, but the church's response to it should be driven by the Greatest Commandment: Love God and love your neighbor. Come and hear from Dr. Becca Edwards (Texas Impact) about how the church's mission of Love depends on the faithfulness of US Christians in the work of climate change mitigation.
We need your help with the lunch part of the Lunch and Learn! We’ll provide the main dish but would love to have some people help prepare and bring fruit, salad, mac ‘n cheese or dessert! If you’re able please sign up below. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated! | |

| Worship | Sunday @ 11 am Online or In-PersonJoin us for worship as we continue our Sermon Series on Creation Care and Climate Justice. This week the theme is on floods and we’ll hear part of the Noah’s Ark story in worship. Pastor Teresa will be exploring the theme of water in the physical world as well as our spiritual lives. At the sanctuary service the choir will sing “Requiem” by Eliza Gilkyson, arranged by Craig Hella Johnson. Also, it is a 3rd Sunday and so children and youth will be leading some of the liturgy and the offertory. We will also welcome our Lunch and Learn speaker Dr. Becca Edwards of Texas Impact who will share the pastoral prayer. Our prerecorded service premieres at 11am on our YouTube channel. | “When you are working on something as challenging as climate change advocacy, it is important to find things to give you hope. That was the message Katharine Hayhoe gave us as the keynote speaker of the South Central Climate Resilience Forum, a gathering of scientists, city government officials, engineers, and planners.”
- Dr. Becca Edwards, sharing about her recent experience at the South Central Climate Resilience Forum. Read More |
