We conclude our final worship series of our interim ministry together with four New Testament stories that help us imagine new possibilities that we might discover on our new way home.

The Journey Home is a powerful theme in scripture. The stories of homecoming a reminder that we often find our way home in indirect and unexpected ways. A reminder that it is impossible to return home the same way we left. This summer in our worship series, “A New Way Home” we’ll be looking at some of these stories of homecoming and wondering how they speak with courage and compassion, as guides and reminders for our own homecoming journeys this season into a new chapter in our own lives and the life of the church. This Sunday, Sept. 5, Rev. Peter Ilgenfritz will explore Matthew 22:1-14; Luke 24:13-35, “Impelling the Stranger.” Who do we need to join us? Do we want to be changed? We will celebrate Holy Communion, pre-packaged, disposable challises with gluten free bread and juice will be available. If you prefer to bring your own bread.

We are delighted to announce we will be having a special music guest this Sunday, Mark Farrington of the Maine band Cattle Call. He and some other local musicians performed at the Opera House in August. Come join us, everyone is welcome!
