Addiction is a challenging issue for many families.  We wrestle with it within ourselves, around support of loved ones, and we wrestle with it in our communities.   Join us for the special service as we look at community support for addiction and ways towards peace and maybe a little healing.   10/16/22   Past services on Addiction can be found here: Light in the Darkness of Addiction – from 3/17/19 Family and Addiction – from 5/1/16

The Promise in Hard Times Genesis 6:18 #Noah #covenant #newchurchlive

Are You Tired of Your Self? Probably most of us reach a point where grow tired of our selves.  Tired or the incessant internal dialog.  Tired of the flaws that show up and again.  Maybe it is time to step onto the boat. Genesis 6:18 #Noah #covenant #newchurchlive

One of the harder tasks in life is letting go of what we cannot change. Matthew 6:27 #acceptance

Imagine a world where we were able to live “always with wonder.” It allows us to see the world from a new place. A clear mantra, a clear sense of community and a clear call to action allow us to get back to that childlike place. 10/2/22

God asks us to greet it ALL. Matt. 6:47 #Matthew #love #loveeachother #family #thomasmerton

Jesus' questions don't focus on numbers, on counting, on the quantitative.  What does it mean to move away from such measures in our relationships?  Matt. 6:46 #Matthew #love #loveeachother

In life we struggle. We get consumed with how we look to others. Imagine a way in which we were no longer looking in the mirror, wondering how others see us; and instead could look more out the window, wondering how we could serve others. 9/25/22

We struggle with tunnel vision and limited sight. How do we gain a more panoramic view of life? Can we see life through God’s eyes? Is it possible? 9/18/22

Religion and spirituality rarely do well in the realm of purity.  How do we find comfort with the inevitable mixed motives of life? Gen. 6:14 #Noah'sArk #motives

One of the commands in the building of Noah's ark was that it should have compartments. A lot of wisdom there! #NoahsArk #Noah

Noah's Ark was not a Boat An important distinction ... an "ark" is not a "boat."  Gen. 6:14 #Noah'sArk

Probably most of can remember a time in Junior High where we were "flooded" with the thought that nobody liked us.  The "facts" that came out of the "feeling" are never constructive. The same is true for adults. Gen. 6:11 #Anxiety
