Ordinary Resurrection

Date: April 28, 2019
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; John 20:19-23
Preacher: Rev. Eileen Parfrey

Here’s my dirty little secret: I work out my faith questions through writing sermons.

Scripture: Philippians 2:1-8
Preacher: Rev. Laurie Newman

Our scripture reading this morning is based on an ancient song of praise. “Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being … read
