Transfiguration of Our Lord—March 3, 2019
No children’s conversation today because all the children attended the early service.
Seventh Sunday after Epiphany—February 24, 2019
No children’s conversation today because all the children attended the early service.
Sixth Sunday after Epiphany—February 17, 2019
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: If you’re sad or hungry or people yell at you, you don’t feel blessed. However, in our Gospel Jesus calls the poor and hungry blessed. When I was ordained 29 years ago, a friend that I didn’t like very much gave me this painting, and it has blessed me ever since. God blesses us when we don’t expect it. So here I have a shell lei for each of you, and I have a bunch more so you can give them to others and bless them.

Fifth Sunday after Epiphany—February 10, 2019
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: In today’s Gospel, Jesus and the disciples go out fishing with a net and catch lots of fish. Then Jesus says from then on they will fish for people. We don’t want to go out with a net, catch people in the net, and drag them to church. Just like the disciples encircled the fish with their net, we can encircle people with the net of God’s love.

Fourth Sunday after Epiphany—February 3, 2019
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: You all have a favorite excuse. In our first lesson, Jeremiah tells God he cannot answer God’s call because he’s too young, but God tells him that God chose him and prepared him before he was born, and Jeremiah answers the call. God loves each of us, no matter what excuse we give.

There is a butterfly for the resurrection, a candle to symbolize the list of Chris, and the Chi-Rho that forms the first letters of “Christ” in Greek. All together, the tree tells us the story of Jesus.

No children’s conversation today because all the children attended the early service.
Advent II—December 9, 2018
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley and Intern Pastor Andy Flatt-Kuntze
Summary: This Sunday, the children’s conversation was combined with the sermon. Pastor Jeff and Vicar Andy told the story of a great treasure. Three people heard about the treasure and came searching for it, each certain that his or her strength would help them find it. They arrived in the town, and a boy in the café offered to help, but they were too proud. One took lots of equipment and went looking in the mountains, another looked in the dark and narrow places, and the third took maps and charts and looked at the end of the winding road. But none was successful, and they returned to the café dejected. There the boy reminded them of the prophet who preached that the rough places would be made plain and the crooked straight and called on everyone to prepare the way of the Lord. The treasure, the boy reminded them, is within their hearts.

Advent I—December 2, 2018
Preacher: Pastor Jeff Lilley
Summary: I have a problem because I forget things, especially my keys, and I can’t find them today. Sometimes God sends signs to help us remember things. Jesus talks about that in the Gospel today. Today we have a special sign, the Advent Wreath, that tells us Jesus and Christmas are coming. There are four candles, and when they are all lit, we know that Christmas is just around the corner and Jesus is coming again.
