"POP-UP" Jesus--Christ is Risen Indeed!

A warm welcome to you if you are reading this as a visitor to our website.  I hope you find information that gets your interest.  Of course, the best way to get to know us is to visit in person on a Sunday morning!

We're now into the time of new life, in the seasons of nature as well as the season of the church calendar, Eastertide.  In a sense, like spring flowers and buds popping their way back into our world after the cold and dark of winter, in scripture texts and our own lives, we join the disciples in amazement, wonder, sometimes fear and doubt, as Jesus "pops up" in new and unexpected places.  Are we open to the possibility that, even in illogical ways, Jesus may be appearing our walking and talking, our mealtimes at dinner and breakfast--our every day lives?  Do we see Jesus in the breaking of bread, as we share a meal with friends or strangers--do we recognize something of the holy, of God with us, in something so simple, so ordinary?  Or are we maybe missing it, confining our notions of the how where and why of the resurrected Christ to special places and times (usually when it's convenient, neat and clean for us!)?

I hope you'll come and join with us as we gather to experience a "pop-up" Jesus in time spent together, and as we are reminded in this season of Eastertide to be open to that very same possibility in our everyday lives.

See you in church! Pastor Doug
