“Why do we even need money?”

Asked my eight year old daughter as I picked her up from school. “To buy things” I replied.

I’ve become used to her asking questions as a kind of external processing more than serious inquiry, so simple replies usually land just right. Not this time.

“No! Why do we even need money? Why can’t we just trade things? Why do people want to make so much money? We don’t need so much money. Why do people want so much money?”

This wasn’t idle chatter. She wanted to know the reason, the basis for a defining structure of our lived experience. Goodness. ...

Jesus is resurrected at Easter and he's gifted us his Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Now what?

Come over each Sunday this season of Trinitytide to discover how the love of God given to us so long ago is also gifted to us today and can shape our modern lives in beautiful and life-giving ways.

Join us for Holy Communion at 10 am and then coffee right after!

The Bible is God's written word, given to us by the Holy Spirit as a revelation of God's acts in history and our final authority in matters of faith and practice. 

So we're making time this summer to meet weekly to read the bible, explore and share on our weekly passage, and to grow in faith and friendship.

If you'd like to grow in faith, hope, and love, join us every Wednesday at 7:30pm at The Rectory (406 Buffalo St) with Seth & Brit as they host our summer bible study! 

We're here for you.
