Services for January

Clean Slate

Rev. Jaye Brooks
January 7

The New Year: a chance to start again with a clean slate. Or is it? What do we value when we recall the past; what have we gained from our hardships; what from the past reality are we resisting that might guide us into a better future?

The Public Face of Love: Lessons from Dr. King

Rev. Jaye Brooks
January 14

On this Sunday of the weekend celebrating the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we consider the relationship between love and justice. In the words of Black American scholar Dr. Cornell West, Justice is what love looks like in public. This Sunday, our children and youth participate in the beginning of the service, offering wisdom from the words of Dr. King and a song that reminds us of the courage and commitment of Rosa Parks.

We Begin Again In Love

Beth Casebolt, CRE
January 21

Ours is a covenantal faith, and what binds us together are the promises we make. Just as we periodically spend time looking at our personal lives making promises to ourselves, we should also look at our promises to each other and to the communities we are a part.
