We will explore in worship who Jesus is and who we are as we live into our calling to reflect his light during the Epiphany season, beginning on January 12 and ending on March 2. As we focus on Jesus, his human and divine nature, we learn how he reflects our fully human nature and the divine spark in us. In our limited human circumstances, we reflect God’s eternal light as Jesus affirms us, “You are the light of the world. Let your light shine!” (Matthew 5:14-16). Make God a priority this year, and join us for meaningful and moving worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.
Bring your friends and family to celebrate the music ministries of Central Association Congregations and enjoy a variety of performances with a reception to follow in the fellowship hall. Enjoy several of our choirs and small groups performing, participate in singing congregational hymn favorites, and a massed choir performance. A freewill offering will support a local ministry.
This year, Ramadan is taking place from Friday, February 28 to Saturday, March 29. Come learn about Ramadan and what it means to our Muslim brothers and sisters. Local Imam Muhammad Ali (Bucknell and SU’s Muslim Chaplain) will present on this topic.
The Social Justice Bible Challenge - starting March 5
We invite and encourage you to participate in the Social Justice Bible Challenge during this Lenten season beginning with Ash Wednesday, March 5. The 40 Day Bible Challenge bridges the gap between knowing the Bible and living it. The devotional study guide includes Bible passages, meditations of spiritual leaders from around the world, questions for reflection and prayers. Take this Lent as an opportunity to dig into the Bible, connect it with your life, and express it through your actions.
The Living into Right Relations Committee has purchased the first 10 books - those who are interested can get a partially-sponsored copy of the book for only $5 (until we run out of books). The book is also available on Kindle, for those who would like to purchase it in that format. Those who are interested can sign up on our website. We will meet on Zoom twice during Lent to reflect together on the Challenge: Sunday, March 16, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 6, at 7 p.m.
