Worship Themes

As part of the weekly sermon process, Rev. Dr. McColl sends the congregation a "Theology Tuesday" email which includes Sunday's upcoming Scripture along with a little insight into the Scripture. It also includes a question inviting everyone to share his or her thoughts.

The great thing about the sermon process is that it is not meant to be done in a vacuum. The sermon is a story, made up of our collective insights, thoughts and experiences. The sermon is an opportunity for all of us to share where we have seen God that week and was never meant to be a one-way conversation. Heather has really enjoyed and been inspired by everyone's responses. The responses have helped her think of the Scriptures in new ways and has definitely helped her think outside of the box.

"Theology Tuesday "is also posted on the church Facebook page.

Sunday morning worship themes:

Our Advent Theme this year is "Where's the Good News?"

Given all that is going on in our world, the mass shootings, the climate crisis, the rise of poverty, the overall feeling of nothing getting better no matter how hard we try, as people of faith, we find ourselves asking, “Where’s the Good News?” because with each passing week, it seems harder and harder to find the good news. Yet, isn’t that what Advent is supposed to be about…the coming of God’s Kingdom, the promise of the Christ child fulfilled? Join as we discover how the good news really is in our mist.
