Visions in the Cloud – Mar 6

Welcome

"Ordinary Lives Can Be Holy"

We live in a culture bent on definitions of a ‘good life’ as continuous upward mobility and striving for something ‘better’. But real life happens, right? (The pandemic has shown us that!) Life is far from perfect.
What kind of faith is ‘Good Enough’ amid our messy, complicated, imperfect lives?

This Lent we are invited to look for beauty and truth in what’s possible, and nurture and tend the life we are living now – a life that is holy ‘as is’.

Scripture story: Luke 4:1-13

A recording of the in person service will be posted to the website as early as Sunday evening and no later than Tuesday.

2022 – Lenten Series

We live in a culture bent on definitions of a ‘good life’ as continuous upward mobility and striving for something ‘better’. But real life happens, right? (The pandemic has shown us that!) Our lives are far from perfect.

What kind of faith is ‘Good Enough’ amid our messy, complicated, imperfect lives?

This Lent we are invited to look for beauty and truth in what’s possible, and nurture and tend the life we are living now – a life that is holy ‘as is’. That’s good enough because God is already here with us. Now.

Visions in the Cloud – Feb27

Welcome

Jesus calls us to courage

It is not easy to be courageous in our faith in a world where faith is often derided as superstition. When Jesus calls us to be courageous in our faith, what does that mean for us in today’s world, and how do we restore our courage when we feel it falter?

This week's reading: Matthew 14: 22-33

Sorry, no attachments exist.

Welcome

"Generosity"
Jesus calls us to live our lives generously. This doesn’t mean just our money, but our time, our talents, and our love.

How do we do that, and what do we receive in return for our generosity?
- 2 Corinthians 9: 6-12

"Compassion"
Compassion is not pity. Compassion requires action.

If Jesus has called us to the virtue of compassion, how do we reach out to those most in need of our compassion?

"Jesus Calls Us!"

Jesus calls us to the virtue of justice. How do we demonstrate our sense of justice in a world where the focus is often looking out for number one?

Visions in the Cloud – Jan 30

Welcome

"Jesus Calls Us!"

We talk a lot about our 'calling' as Christians. But what does a story from first century Palestine about Jesus calling the disciples have to do with us in the 21st Century? This week we introduce our theme for February, "Jesus Calls Us", with the foundational story found in the gospel of Luke 5:1-11: "Come, I'll Make You Fishers of People".

Welcome

Beyond Words
Words...words...words! We are overwhelmed with words, everyday.
What is the power of God's Word for your life?
When do words become actions that transform life?

This week we are inspired by another community of faith released from the 'lockdown' of Exile (Nehemiah 8:1-112), and by Jesus, claiming the power of God's Word as his mission (Luke 4:14-21).

Visions in the Cloud – Jan 16

Welcome

This Sunday you are invited to a wedding!

A wedding that is going to run out of wine… until Jesus shows up!
We join Jesus and his mother at the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), and spend some time wondering about signs of abundance and grace as the ‘wine of patience runs out’ in these COVID times.

PS: If you are a wine drinker, enjoy a glass of wine for this ‘Wedding at Cana’…
If you are not a wine-drinker, enjoy some fresh grapes. Ponder with us the invitation to share extravagant love and abundant generosity.
