No 10:30 in person worship service on Sunday, February 1, 2026

Dear Friends in Christ –

Good evening.

After consideration and consultation I wanted to inform you of the decision to cancel ‘in person’ worship for this coming Sunday. All forecasts point to seriously icy conditions on the roads & bridges. Should you arrive, there is the danger of ice leading from the parking lot to the portico and over the stone to the portico.

I will record a message to be shared during our regular worship time. I’m proposing we share communion on Feb. 8th and our chili cook off will be held on Feb. 15th. There's still time to perfect the recipe! So…

This first Sunday of February I intended for us to engage the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount – Jesus sharing primarily with his disciples as the multitudes have gathered just down the slope.

Jesus tells them of the topsy –turvy reality he has come to teach, embody and entrust to them. Both testaments bore the message and in it lies our key to navigating and surviving these times… with purpose and joy!

We’ll engage that next week. This week, I’ll share some thoughts from Nadia Boltz-Weber that speak to this incongruous life with which we are blessed.

Face to face, eyes on the screen, or prayers converging, we will position ourselves together for the grace of God.

Best love in Jesus –
