There’s so much more to the Lord’s Prayer than many of us realize and exploring its depths brings about a prayer that was both designed to be recited and aid in our spiritual formation.

We need to make time to spend devoted time in prayer and, remembering Luther’s words, make our prayers “brief, consistent, and intense.”

Gather with The Parish Church, Hillside Church, and Petaluma Christian Church for a night of worshipping through music on Sunday, February 17 from 5 PM—6 PM @ Meadow School.

When we aim towards generosity out of a motivation of being seen and praised by others, or even to impressed by ourselves, then we fail to actually pursue the kind of Christ-honoring righteousness he calls us to.

This coming Sunday, January 27, we’ll be meeting at Meadow School at 10 AM to work together to clean up the community garden.

Righteousness, according to Jesus, is whole-person behavior that accords with Gods’s nature, will, and coming kingdom.

Loving our enemies cannot be reduced to mere “tolerance.” We must pray for them and strive for them to become the sort of person/people that God wants them to be!

We’re people drawn to stories and shaped by stories… it’s hard to find a human being who isn’t moved or captivated by a good story. This is because we are created to live in a story— the Christian story.

As disciples, we are willing to be degraded because we recognize we have been upgraded through Christ. We are willing to be treated unjustifiably because we have been justified eternally through Christ.
