Fear Itself
Today's reflection by Donna Schaper: We are reaching the end of our delusions. Technology can't fix everything, especially big spills in the Gulf.

Remember Me?
Today's reflection by Martin Copenhaver: I remember the first time my grandmother was not able to recognize me.

Arguing With God
Today's reflection by Tony Robinson: Do you ever argue with God? Do you ever call on God to be God? Is that even okay? Can we do that? All sorts of people in the Bible argue with God, including Abraham, Moses and Jeremiah, to name a few.

The Responsible Warrior
Today's reflection by Ron Buford: Colin Powell once said he was proud of being called a "reluctant warrior." Powell is typical among warriors who actually risked their own lives to save others and who can also never erase the brain-searing memories of horrific death and human carnage--of friends and enemies, comrades and combatants, all believing they were "right."

Ask and Receive
Today's reflection by Donna Schaper: Jesus is rarely this colorful of speech. He is more the plainspoken type. But here somebody has bugged him into indignation. He is sure that doors open, but he is speaking to a people who imagine doors don't.

Change. And I Love You
Today's reflection by Hamilton Coe Throckmorton: "I have high expectations of my friends," said the young seeker. "I'm pretty demanding." Four of his high-school friends have died in alcohol-related accidents.

Know Your Bible
Today's reflection by Quinn Caldwell: The Holy Spirit has just swooped into that upper room in Jerusalem and shaken everybody up. They all look at one another and ask, "What does this mean?" Some have an answer ready: everybody's drunk. Peter stands up and sets them straight by quoting Scripture.

Earth to Humanity: You Are Really Blowing It
Reflection by Lillian Daniel: News flash from the Gulf of Mexico--the fish of the sea and the birds of the air have had it. So have the people who once earned their living through fishing.

Is Jesus God?
Today's reflection by Bill Green: Jesus is not God, but God is like Jesus. Life is full of mystery and much we cannot explain. But in Jesus we see that, at the heart of it all, God's love pulses and often surprises us, turning many a grim situation upside down.

One Person at a Time
Today's reflection by Martin Copenhaver: Saint Augustine said that God is able to love each person as if he or she were the only person in the world. But we cannot do that. As human beings, we are limited in that way. Sometimes, however, we can love one particular person in that intensely focused way.

Wherever you are on life's journey,
you are welcome and appreciated
for who you are

The best way to find out about our congregation and this opportunity for you is to visit and observe.

Please accept our invitation to worship with us on any Sunday We are a warm and caring community of faith, centrally located at the crossroads of Rt 54 and Plattsburg-London Road Welcome!
