January Sermon Series
Living With Joy 
Following the birth of Jesus, joy seems like an appropriate response. Emmanuel—God with us, seen in the fragile life of a baby. In Minnesota, January can be a hard month to feel joy. It’s cold, dark, and spring still seems a ways off. Vaccines for Covid-19 have begun, but we still have a ways to go before we can walk around without a mask and not worry about our dear ones. How can we experience joy in the midst of this season? In our everyday lives, where does joy grow and prosper? Join us as Pastor Brooke ventures out with a GoPro to find the places and experiences where the joy of Jesus does fill our hearts, souls, and minds. January 10: Being Transformed by Love Matthew 2: 1-12 January 17: Known by God Psalm 139 January 24: Finding Goodness in Others John 1: 43-51 January 31: Following Jesus Mark 1: 14-20 Lenten Worship Series
Begins February 17--Ash Wednesday 
What happens when our world falls apart? How do we press onward when our tightly-knit plans unravel into loose threads? When the song we’ve been singing, the life we’ve been living, the road we’ve been cruising, comes undone? What if this is not the end we fear it will be? In our unraveling, sometimes life surprises us with unexpected joy, love, and hope—with a new beginning we couldn’t have imagined. Sometimes we need God to unravel us, for we long to be changed. We will explore stories of unraveled shame, identity, fear, grief, and expectations—stories where God meets us in the spiraling and our unraveling plans turn us into something new. |
