Epiphany 2012

How do we respond to confusion, conflict and change in the world around us?

How do we keep our balance in the middle of confusion, conflict and change? 

How can I find a center of gravity that will provide stability in the tug and pull of our polarized culture?  

Can the central affirmations of Christian faith hold us together rather than tear us apart?  

Can the Christian faith be a part of the solution rather than part of the problem?  

Is there a center that can hold?

Join us in worship during January and February as we explore the core values that can hold the center of our life and faith.

The biblical basis for our worship series will be Paul’s letters to the congregation in Corinth that was struggling with internal tension and conflict.  Follow along with the series with Daily Scripture Readings that will prepare you for Sunday’s message.  Our Daily Discipleship Journal, inserted into Sunday worship bulletins, provides space for you to write your own reflections on the daily Scriptures.
