October 2 Our Life Together
For Paul, there is one word to describe our life as a community of faith…JOY! Rejoice, he says, in what God has done among you, in what God is doing now, and in what God will accomplish among you. Are we ready to be a people of joy?
Philippians 4: 1-9 Communion Rev. Nelson

October 9 Bread or Not Bread
From Food System to Belief System Bread is alluded to throughout the Bible. It is central to Communion and we ask for it daily in the Lord's Prayer but when is it a metaphor and when is God telling us what to eat? Church member and former chef and current culinary agricultural activist ponders what should we do "in remembrance of Me."
Mathew 16:5-12 Charles Moore
October 16 A Taxing Question
We know the story: Jesus is handed a coin on which is imprinted the image of the Emperor, and is asked if it is lawful for people of faith to pay taxes to Caesar. He has an answer, but it is not quite what they expected.
Matthew 22, 15-22 Rev. Nelson
October 23 God and Neighbor
All you have to do, says Jesus, is love God and neighbor. Easy for him to say!
Matthew 22: 34-40 Rev. Nelson
October 30 Humble Service
Jesus urges us not to exalt ourselves or to think too highly of ourselves. Rather he urges humility and servanthood. But what about my self-esteem?
Matthew 23-1-12 Rev. Nelson
