On this Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Simone Lilith Drinkwater reflects on the powerful biblical phrase, “Do not be afraid.” She explores how divine encounters—though often unsettling at first—ultimately reveal a God who gently nurtures trust rather than demanding unquestioning belief. In response, we are called to be spiritually prepared, to reimagine how we support others, and to help them recognize their own belovedness in the eyes of God.

Join us on this Eighth Sunday after Pentecost as The Rev. Mike Angell shares a powerful sermon on Abundance, Generosity, and Hope.

He invites us to reflect, in a world shaped by the story of scarcity, how we can shift toward a better story—God’s story of generosity and abundance. By telling this intentional story, we begin to imagine and work toward a world rooted in Hope. Through active participation in God’s narrative of Love, Justice, and Community, we discover the strength and inspiration to persist.

Join us on this Seventh Sunday after Pentecost as The Rev. Lee Lowery challenges our assumptions about prayer and spirituality, suggesting that true connection with God isn't found in special places, postures, or dramatic experiences, but in the everyday moments of our lives. Discover how the simple yet profound relationship with Jesus shared with God can transform your own "ordinary time" into sacred ground.
