A different take on the story of Mary & Martha. What if it’s about finding balance between action and contemplation? What if it’s about focusing on our own internal faith journey rather than focusing on what others should be doing? Full sermon link is in the comments. #progressivechristianity

Make Me A Channel of Your Peace - Emma sings this beautiful hymn, whose text is attributed to the Prayer of St. Francis, set to music by Sebastian Temple. May we be channels of peace during these times. ☮️#peace #progressivechristianity #stfrancisassisi ONE LICENSE #A-710821 & CCS License #12712.

Our Homeward Bound Bandleader, Brad Carlin, captured the band’s beautiful rendition of Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend”, with Emma Hutson singing the lead. It’s always a great time for this song!
