July 5, 2009 This summer we are exploring the main points of Progressive Christianity, in hopes of learning how to articulate what many in the Christian faith are experiencing. Point 2 - "By calling ourselves progressive, we mean that we are Christians who recognize the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the way to God's realm, and acknowledge that their ways are true for them, as our ways are true for us." Scripture: Exodus 20:2-3 We invite you to come and worship, sing and enjoy the friendship of this loving congregation. Worship leadership includes Don Latimore, Stan Smith, Olivia Updegrove, Dean Shepherd and others.
July 12, 2009 The vision of the table being open to all is illustrated in Jesus' feeding of the five thousand in Matthew 14. Jesus lays down no conditions for participation, establishes no barriers for the meal. Scripture: Genesis 14:18; Isaiah 25:6
