The poem “World Lines: A Quantum Supercomputer Poem” by Amy Catanzano can be read multiple ways. Whenever two lines meet at a “knot word” (shown in white), the reader can choose the upper or lower line to continue.

Theology Goes to the Movies!

Emily LewisComment

Theology Goes to the Movies in the month of February.

On February 6 (also the day of our Annual Meeting!) I will begin a sermon series entitled: Theology Goes to the Movies. Theology is not just one thing. There are theologies or schools of thought about how God works in the world, how divinity and humanity interact, with what perspective (hermeneutic) we read scripture, and how we discern our part in God’s purpose.
You are invited to watch the movie of the week via Zoom on Monday (see schedule below), then share your thoughts about it with others on an email string which I will start. The following Sunday, I will preach about the week’s theology and we’ll talk after the sermon. Does that sound like a plan?

See you at the movies!
Rev. Ann

CHRISTMAS EVE JOY OFFERING

We offer our gifts during this Advent Season to the Christmas Joy Offering because God shows us the power and importance of being together, of “being with.” We might not be able to meet face to face with those who need the support that our gifts provide, but we are very much still together. We see the potential of students of color who will become our leaders and we seek to come alongside them, to encourage them, to be together with them. And we see church workers who have critical financial needs and we come alongside them, to assist them — we are with them. And we see the witness of the whole Church, either gathered in buildings or connected home to home, member to member, sharing what we have, together. We thank God for being “with us” through the gift of Jesus, for opening doors that may not have been accessible to us, and for joining us together as the Church and, through our gifts, with those who have need.
