ASCENSION SUNDAY

SILENT SUNDAY

Ours is a noisy, noisy world. At my house, we turn on a fan to block out noise. That means we use noise to stop noise. How about your world? Do you have lots of background noise? TV, iPods, phones, music… noise is everywhere. Is it possible that this noise is like the fan we turn in on our room, blocking out the voice of God? On this Silent Sunday, our worship project continues, inspired by Quakers and Taize worship, which include periods of silence, asking God to hear his voice. When was the last time you heard the voice of God?

PENTECOST SUNDAY

James 2:1-13 – Playing Favorites

Who is your favorite sports team? Your favorite actor/ress? Your favorite people? Do you play favorites? It’s natural to some degree isn’t it? It’s okay to have best friends or close friends, right? Have you ever gotten into trouble for playing favorites though? Have favorites led to drama, to broken relationships? Can it happen in the church? Would you join us to find out what God has to say about favorites?
