Worship for Oct. 23, 2022: Simply the Sermon -- How can Republicans and Democrats still attend church together?

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Online Family: We are in a digital ministry transition. Thank you for your patience as we post Simply the Sermon during this time. We record it live each Sunday. You’ll even hear the swishing of Pastor Amy’s alb! We will keep you updated on upcoming developments. We want to thank our musicians and in particular, Brent Keast for all the hard work and investment in sound production over the last two and half years. It was an amazing run. And thank you to all of you for gathering faithfully in this virtual space.

Are you in a purple congregation living the political tension? As Pastor Amy prepares to depart, she humorously reflects on what can soothe our red and blue anxieties. Our inspiration again is Paul and his fellow prisoners. At long last, they set out for Rome escorted by centurions and soldiers. When the winter storms rise, he gives the guidance we all need right now: stick together and we’ll get safely to shore.
