SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\nWhen a Yoke Means Freedom\nToday’s gospel reading contains iconic words from Jesus: “Come to me\, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens\, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you\, and learn from me\, for I am gentle and humble in heart\, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy\, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:28-30). Jesus offers a yoke to tired listeners and tells them that a yoke will give them rest. The yoke as a means to rest was a strange idea for the disciples\, and it ought to sound strange to us as well. The early hearers of this biblical passage would have known a yoke to be a means of engaging the energy of oxen as heavy lifters in the enterprise of farming. Yokes are still employed in our world and they are still a burden and a way of harnessing animals’ hard work. The first ancient readers or hearers of Matthew also viewed a yoke as a symbol of obedience to God’s law and wisdom. Generally\, our instinct is to resist yokes and laws\, or at least not immediately connect them with the idea of freedom. Through the image of the yoke\, however\, Jesus invites us to think of God’s law and wisdom as a means to surrender\, give way\, and accept something graceful and positive—rest\, ease\, lightness. Jesus reframes the idea of a yoke by telling us that a yoke will help us grow as disciples. The gospel links humility to freedom. \n~From Sundays & Seasons

SUMMARY:Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Book Study\nJoin us on select Sundays at 8:30 a.m. for a thoughtful and engaging Adult Education gathering as we journey through The Experience of God: Being\, Consciousness\, Bliss by David Bentley Hart. \nIn this remarkable book\, Hart—an acclaimed Orthodox Christian scholar and theologian—invites readers to reconsider what we mean when we speak about God. Rather than focusing on debates between belief and unbelief\, he explores the rich traditions of Christian thought and the deeper philosophical questions that have shaped humanity’s understanding of the divine for centuries. Hart examines God as the ground of being\, the source of consciousness\, and the fulfillment of bliss\, challenging readers to think beyond familiar assumptions and discover a more expansive vision of faith. \nWhether you are a lifelong student of theology\, someone wrestling with big questions\, or simply curious about the relationship between God and human experience\, this group offers a welcoming space for conversation\, reflection\, and learning. No advanced background in philosophy or theology is required—just a willingness to read\, listen\, and explore together. \nOur discussions are relaxed\, respectful\, and enriched by the diverse perspectives of those who gather around the table each week. The goal is not to arrive at all the answers\, but to deepen our understanding and encourage one another along the way. \nPlease join us for this adventure in faith and thought. For upcoming meeting dates and additional information\, contact John Spurlock. We would be delighted to have you with us as we continue this fascinating exploration together.
