Digital Bulletin

We send the link to the bulletin in our weekly email newsletter. If you are visiting the church and don't have a smart phone or don't feel like you can manage this on your own, ask one of the Greeters at the church to check out a tablet to use during the service. You can also print the bulletin directly from the link to bring with you, if you prefer!

Announcements

We worship at 10am on Sunday, online and in-person, with Sunday School for all ages at 9am.

Ladies, please join us as we kick off the 2025–2026 Martha Circle season with a “Back to School” theme! Hosts Donna and Cindy invite everyone to bring a school photo of themselves—the wilder the hairstyle, the better. Along with your photo, bring a potluck dish to share, your beverage of choice, and $1 for the collection. Dessert will be provided by the hosts.

We look forward to reconnecting after our summer break and seeing some new faces as we pick up where we left off in May. Martha Circle gathers on the first Tuesday evening of each month, September through May, for a casual evening of food, fellowship, shared stories, and support.
Make plans to stay for a little while after worship online and in-person in September, November, and December for a new time of conversation and connection called Continue the Conversation.

September 7th: “Speed Friendshipping,” we will get to know each other through guided questions meant to prompt stories and laughter. In the fellowship hall after the service.

WEBS is back from their summer
break with a new book!

Christ in the Rubble: Faith, the Bible, and Genocide in Gaza" by Munther IsaacA cry from the heart and a call to action from a Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian.

In this impassioned and incisive book, Munther Isaac challenges mainstream Christians' uncritical embrace of the modern State of Israel. Speaking from his unique vantage point as a prominent Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian, he proclaims a truth that is rarely acknowledged in Christian circles: Israel's campaign to eliminate the Palestinian people did not begin after October 7, 2023. Rather, the campaign is a continuation of a colonial project with nineteenth-century roots that has, since 1948, established systems of entrenched discrimination and segregation worse than South Africa's apartheid regime.

Writing from Bethlehem with close-up knowledge of conditions on the ground, and rooted in a commitment to nonviolence and just peace, Isaac urges readers to recognize that support for Zionism's genocidal project entails a failure to bring a properly Christian theological criticism to bear upon colonialism, racism, and empire. He calls on Christians to repent of their complicity in the destruction of the Palestinian people. And he challenges them to realign their beliefs and actions with Christ-who can be found not among perpetrators of violence, but with victims buried under the rubble of war.
