"Everything in between ... meeting God in the midst of extremes." This is the premise behind our weekly themes. The world may often present each week’s polarities as opposites, as either/or and right or wrong choices. The reality is that nearly all of us feel the tension of these extremes and the pressure to choose a side. Yet, in the scriptures from the Gospel According to Luke, we invite you to explore how these dualities might instead be connected along a spectrum, or perhaps even a full circle. Each week is an invitation to reconsider how Jesus redefines or upends the labels and definitions we tightly cling to. May our hearts and minds be open to listen to how God is still speaking.
Sacraments and Life Rites
Baptism with water and the Holy Spirit is the sign and seal of our common discipleship. Since baptism is God’s gift, the Holy Spirit is called to be upon the water and those being baptized. It marks the beginning of new life of discipleship with Christ, the human response to that gift.
Baptism
Communion
The communion meal recalls the table fellowship Jesus shared with his disciples such as the Last Supper on the night before his death as well as his appearances to the disciples during meals following his resurrection.
Confirmation is a year-long study where a young person explores faith more deeply, and decides at the end of the study whether to take the vows of baptism as his or her own, thereby becoming a member of the Church.
Confirmation
