One More Stitch: A Poem By Kurt Snyder

Kurt Snyder read this original poem during our All Saints Service. “Just one more stitch” I heard her say, “Supper’s on, I’m on my way. This quilt ain’t done and it needs to be, For winter’s comin’, soon you’ll see.”

A Prayer for Election Day

There's a sign in Richmond that I've been driving past since I was in high school.  It's a small sign that someone placed by their mailbox that reads “the wages of sin is death.”  Growing up in a religious household, I knew the scripture well, but it always felt a little heavy-handed. It was many years before I realized that the other side of the sign actually had the rest of the verse, “the free gift of God is eternal life.”  Unfortunately, the more hopeful message is only visible across a couple of lanes of traffic.  There's little chance that folks are going to get the other side of the story.

Intentional Interim Update

The Transition Development Committee has been working for several months to find a candidate for our Part Time Intentional Interim position.  While this part time position will involve preaching up to two times a month, the primary responsibility of the Intentional Interim Minister will be to guide us through the process of understanding our congregational identity and discerning our vision for the future.  This is an important part of helping us determine who will be the best fit for our next minister.  After much work, we are pleased to present Carrol Wilson as the candidate for our Part Time Intentional Interim Minister position.

Apr 26 • 11:00 • Imperishable Seed

This week we will think about courage and the courage it takes to wait.  On the heels of the 50th Earth Day, we will also consider creation and our place in God's diverse and beloved community of life.  Thanks to Lelia Midkiff for providing the beautiful watercolor above.

Apr 19 • 11:00 • Why Are We Here?

Normalcy seems to be an idea of the past. Why are we here and what are we to do? These questions are central to the biblical story as well as our current situation. This Sunday, we look back at the work of God through the people in exile. Their isolation and uncertainty are felt by us, and their hope for restoration can help us shape a promising future. Join us this week for a message from Charles Conkin.

Mar 29 • 11:00 • Awaiting Rebirth

Join us from your computers, tablets, phones, and televisions as we celebrate even in the midst of shadows. The image above is a painting by our own Charlotte Blaydes.  She started painting during our watercolor workshop last fall and has already created this beautiful work. While we may be apart, we can still find little hopes and joys scattered about like a bright red cardinal or an evening stroll. This week during our prayer time, we'll invite our children to draw pictures of things they are grateful for.
