this Sunday:
9:30 am Classic Worship
Friends, the gloomy elephant in the room this morning must be named: my 3 years (almost) as your pastor ends today. My call by Bishop Malone is to pass on my relay baton here and pick up that of lead pastor Elkhart. This UMC itinerancy system is depicted in Acts 18 and 1 Cor 3 where clergy (Paul, Apollos, Timothy, Silas), laity (Priscilla, Aquila) and churches (Corinth, Ephesus, Caesarea, Antioch, Galatia, Phrygia, etc) navigate its complexities. After drawing from these that everyone shall Blexit (leave Bloomington), me today, you someday, we have two questions in this sermon: a) Is our love for each other and commitment to our calling deep enough to outlast our goodbyes? b) is God the one and only center of attention wherever we serve?
11:45 am Common Ground
Common Ground is an inclusive contemporary worship experience encouraging all to take the next step in faith and justice. All Common Ground activities will take place on Sundays at 11:45 in the Sanctuary. On Worship Sundays, we’ll experience upbeat contemporary music, Scripture lessons, and a message that speaks to faith in action.
Discipleship Hour
Every Sunday at 10:45am, we offer several different classes that are high-quality, Christ-centered learning experiences that help people understand Scripture, faith, and their lives as they nurture supportive relationships with each other. Click here to see our current class offerings.
