Tested

The picture of Abraham holding the knife high above Isaac’s body bound on the sacrificial altar is probably one of the most vivid memories of my childhood Christian education. I don’t know that it was a framed painting in my Sunday school room, and surely it wasn’t in my kid’s version of my Bible—but once you see it, it can’t be unseen—particularly when you’re 4 or 5 or 10 years old. Even now, I read the story and I wonder, oh, my gosh—how could Abraham do something like that? How could...

Trouble In The Family

Last week we ended on a happy note, with laughter and joy because Sarah and Abraham, well beyond their child-bearing years, had given birth to Isaac, fulfilling the promise that God had made that their descendants would be many—more than the stars up above. But now, there is this issue of Hagar, and she and Abraham’s son, Ishmael. “Issue” seems a bit understated: they are, after all, flesh and blood people.

PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS!

It has come to our attention that an email is circulating, supposedly from Paster Toni, asking for money or for you to purchase gift cards. This is not from Pastor Toni!

Please help spread the word so no one is hurt by this scam. If you have any questions, please call the church office.

Daily Devotions

Saturday, June 27, 2020

To grow is to emerge gradually from a land where our vision is limited, where we are seeking and governed by egotistical pleasure, by our sympathies and antipathies, to a land of unlimited horizons and universal love, where we will be open to every person and desire their happiness.
Jean Vanier
