The butterfly has long been a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus, as well as our own resurrection as we emerge from the power of fear and death. In this series, we will consider the process of metamorphosis as a guide to examine our own transformations from cocoons and tombs to the unfurled beauty of all God calls us to be.<\/p>\n

Habits and routines help us stay on track in many areas of our lives \u2013 whether it’s our physical, mental, or emotional health. They can help us grow in our spiritual lives too.

Our hope is that, guided by this vision, a visible movement of healing will arise from within our conference and that our future testimonies will declare that God is still at work in and through us, and that God “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.\u201d

\nWho<\/em> are we really preparing for?
\nThis Advent, hear God\u2019s call: \u201cPrepare for the coming one, Jesus!\u201d Hear this imperative as an invitation to strip away all the fuss and ready your heart and life for the change that is coming.<\/p>\n

Generous — the Beauty in Giving<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"~ Stewardship Worship Series ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We get lots of messages about what is important, what the \u201cgood life\u201d is, and everything we need to do and have to achieve it. Still, so many of us remain unsatisfied, chasing after the next thing in search of fulfillment. But there is good news for us!
\nGod desires for us to have lives of contentment, freedom from worry, and joy in abundance. And Jesus shows us the way there. As we learn how to find our contentment in God, we will also discover the beauty in giving. Our lives will be evidence that the good life is the generous life \u2013 a life through which the grace of God flows into the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"~ Worship Series for Sept 3rd-October 1st, 2023 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In this Worship series, we hear the call to dine with Jesus \u2014 an invitation that means much more than a simple eating experience. For Jesus, the table was a place where he fed people and<\/em> also challenged them to acts of hospitality that reflect God\u2019s way. When we say yes to Christ\u2019s invitation to his table, we accept a way of life that embraces divine grace, peace, love, and joy.

Underdogs<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"~ Worship Series for Summer 2023 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you ever feel like the forces are against you or you lack the confidence to pursue your dreams, you are not alone. The Bible is full of ordinary people whom the world viewed as underdogs.
\nYet, God chose them to do something extraordinary and amazing. This summer, we will explore eight biblical characters who were considered underdogs and their excuses, based on
\nMatt Keller’s book, God of the Underdogs<\/em><\/a>.
\nTheir stories will inspire us to push past our own underdog excuses<\/em> and live the life God calls us to live.<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series for Lent ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Asking questions is a normal part of human life. Having doubts is part of the human experience.
\nWe do not have to be ashamed of our doubts or hide our questions before God.
\nIn fact, God fully welcomes them and welcomes us. This Lent, we will practice bringing some of our biggest questions and doubts to God. We will practice embracing this deeply human part of ourselves as we move together toward the great and joyous mystery of Easter resurrection.<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series for Advent & Christmas ~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Christmas season is a time when the juxtaposition of the sacred and secular feels sometimes blatantly opposed, and sometimes quite blurred. The word \u201csacred\u201d points to something dedicated as \u201choly\u201d and \u201cset apart.\u201d This year, you are invited to a spiritual journey of seeing ALL things pregnant with the Holy. What could our experience of Advent & Christmas season be like if we lived it imagining everything is reflecting the sacred?<\/p>\n

Releasing God’s Blessings\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ Stewardship Worship Series ~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We often think of blessings as things we receive. While it is true that God, by grace, freely gives us all that we have, we are not just passive recipients of God\u2019s blessings! Just as God blesses us through the people in our lives, so does God promise to bless others through us. When we live from a place of gratitude for God\u2019s gifts and trust in God\u2019s provision, we can be agents of God\u2019s blessings in our world.<\/p>\n

Paradigm Shift<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Paradigm<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series ~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

First introduced by American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn in 1965 and widespread beyond the field of science, a paradigm shift is defined as \u201can important change that happens when the usual way of thinking about or doing something is replaced by a new and different way. In this series, we explore four examples of paradigm shift in the Bible:
\nJoseph, Jeremiah & the Israelites in exile, Peter, and Jonah.<\/p>\n

\"Let's<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series ~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The heart of worship is celebration. In our gathering, we celebrate who God is, what God has done for us in Jesus, and what God continues to do for us through the work of the Holy Spirit. By taking the time to celebrate God\u2019s gifts to us, we are attuning ourselves to the good and wonderful things in life so that, even in times of struggle and hardship, we can be sustained. Throughout this worship series, we will celebrate God\u2019s gifts of friendship, diversity, unity, pride, love, & work.<\/p>\n

Good Enough: Embracing the Imperfections of Life & Faith<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series for Lent & Easter 2022~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility\u2013 climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to ever more-likable social media accounts. We may comb the shelves of the self-help section in search of just the right formula to gain success. Perhaps we even gravitate towards spiritual leaders who promise great rewards if we only do \u201cthe right thing.\u201d
\nBut life happens, right?
\nMost times we are not moving upward but trying to repair the rung we\u2019ve just slipped from. So what if we stopped climbing and started fertilizing, watering, and blooming right where we find ourselves?
\nWelcome to a Lent of affirming a faith in which we are blessed, regardless, and where we can lean into embracing our \u201cgood enough\u201d lives.
\nThis worship series was created by Worship Design Studio, inspired by Kate Bowler\u2019s newly published devotional book, Good Enough<\/i><\/a>. (Get the accompanying Good Enough Lent: Daily Reflection <\/i>Guide<\/i> here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Have you ever put on a fake smile or been \u201cpolitically correct\u201d to avoid conflict?

The Inn – Housing the Holy<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ Advent Worship Series 2021~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The pandemic has laid bare, and widened, economic disparity locally and globally. As we enter the Advent season, how can our churches become houses where the Holy will be born anew\u2013offering respite, sustenance and care, opening the doors ever wider to those seeking shelter from the onslaught of life?
\nNo one church can do it all, but each can do something.
\nAs we study the biblical prophets that call us to care for our neighbors and \u201cmake room in the inn,\u201d the lonely and frightened spaces within us are filled with the light of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.<\/p>\n

~ Stewardship Worship Series for November ~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When we face important decisions and opportunities in our lives, we may weigh the pros and cons. We often find reasons to avoid making changes and to keep doing things the same old way.
\nBut there comes a time when we must decide\u2026 are we going to play it safe or go all in<\/em>?<\/span><\/p>\n

John 3:16<\/span> tells us that God loved us so much that he gave his only Son for us, \u201cso that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.\u201d God\u2019s love for us is \u201call in!\u201d In turn, when we put all our trust in God, our lives can be freed for unimaginable wonder. This worship series will explore what it means to be \u201call in\u201d for God – with all of our being and all that we have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Living Faith<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series for September ~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, insisted that Christian faith was more than just a set of beliefs or a feeling. Faith changes our lives and results in faithful action in the world. The New Testament letter of James gives the same message. Following the epistle readings from the Revised Common Lectionary, this series will look at John Wesley\u2019s General Rules in connection with readings from James to show how our faith can come to life in all that we say and do.<\/p>\n

QUEST – Travel as a Spiritual Act<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series for Summer ~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We will embark on a journey for four weeks. It is a journey about<\/i> journeying, about traveling as a spiritual act. Whether we travel far away or simply begin to see our local surroundings as if for the first time, \u201cpilgrimage\u201d has long been a spiritual practice, and \u201cjourney\u201d a deeply-felt metaphor for our spiritual lives. \u201cQuest<\/strong>\u201d comes from the Latin root meaning \u201cask\u201d and \u201cseek.\u201d This worship series will encourage us to open ourselves more fully to the curiosity and wonder, reflection, and transformation that travelers \u2013not merely tourists\u2013 experience when we choose to immerse ourselves in soul-widening adventures,<\/p>\n

Dare to Dance Again<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ An Eastertide Series thru Pentecost~
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As Easter people, we are called to dance our dances of freedom for all the world to see\u2013even and perhaps especially in times of great difficulty. Dances of hope. Dances of justice. Dances of love. During this season, post-resurrection stories point to the joy of living in the beloved community and extending that fellowship through our witness as we dare to dance again!<\/p>\n

On a morning when all seemed lost, a stone had rolled away to uncover the feast of all feasts, the joy of all joys. The shroud of death had become a veil for gladness, for celebration, for dancing. What if we stopped trying to outrun one another in a race for things that do not matter in the end, and instead ran toward life and hope and all the joy we can accomplish together, daring to dance again<\/em>?<\/p>\n

~ A Lenten Season of Recovery ~
\nFebruary 17 – March 28, 2021<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Each of us is created a precious and holy vessel of embodied love. We have been through a harrowing time since last Lent that has shattered our sense of wholeness \u2013 body, mind, and spirit \u2013 like a glass vessel fractured into pieces.<\/p>\n

In this Lenten \u201cseason of recovery\u201d for our physical, communal, mental, intellectual, and environmental health, we will explore the healing narratives of Jesus that tell of divine solidarity with human suffering and remind us that we can begin a journey toward making something beautiful from that which is seemingly broken.
\nBeach glass offers us a multifaceted symbol of this transformative process.<\/p>\n

~ New Year Worship Series ~
\nJanuary 10 – February 7, 2021<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Life is a series of exclamations from \u201cOh No!\u201d to \u201cHelp!\u201d to \u201cOh Yeah!\u201d\u00a0 We can swing between disappointment, helplessness, and gratitude on a daily basis.\u00a0 There are also seasons of our lives when we feel inundated with more of one than the others.<\/p>\n

As we enter the new year, we had hoped we would be past the \u201cOh No!\u201d of the last 10 months. Instead we find ourselves with ongoing prayers for \u201cHelp!\u201d\u00a0 The Book of Psalms knows all about this.\u00a0 Written over a span of time from exile and isolation to the rebuilding of the community, the poetry of the Psalms will accompany us in this series, reminding us that through it all, we can trust and even give our thankful \u201cOh Yeah!\u201d because God is, indeed, holding our lives.<\/p>\n

I Believe, Even When…<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ Advent & Christmas Worship Series ~
\nNovember 29 – December 27, 2020<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The history of humanity is fraught with pain\u2013especially the pain that comes accompanied by fear and leads to oppression and violence of one people against another. This is the world into which Jesus was born and through which his teachings would challenge and call for transformation. The opening words of an anonymous Jewish poet, \u201cI believe in the sun, even when the sun is not shining,\u201d were scrawled on a wall during the Holocaust. This theme song for our season calls us to examine our penchant for annihilating fear by annihilating each other. The power of narrative and music will call us to a different response\u2013 transformation and reconciliation through hope, love, joy, and peace.
\nThis Advent and Christmas, let us fill the night with music and light and affirm and act on the reasons why we can still \u201cbelieve, even when\u201d we are discouraged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summer in the Psalms<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~ Worship Series August 9-23, 2020 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The book of Psalms possesses an enduring fascination for God\u2019s people.
\nThis collection of 150 poems has supplied some of our best loved passages in scripture. They simultaneously express a frankness and intimacy of emotion including love and adoration for God, the battle of fear and trust, walking with God even when the way seems dark, and thankfulness for God\u2019s care. But this diversity is unified by one element ~ they are centered upon God.<\/p>\n

Beguiled by Beauty<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Cultivating a Life of Contemplation and Compassion
\n<\/strong><\/em>~ Worship Series June 28 – August 2 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This 6-week series was written by the creative worship designer and leader Dr. Marcia McFee based on a book of the same name by contemporary theologian Dr. Wendy Farley. McFee writes the following about the series:<\/p>\n

An early 6th-century theologian described God as \u201cbeguiled by beauty.\u201d The Creator was lured by a longing for beauty and so set in motion a world of immense diversity and goodness. We were made for this Divine Goodness. We were made inherently worthy, not by our \u201cdoing,\u201d but by our simply being. All things are beautiful\u2013not by a standard of \u201cpretty\u201d as seen by our eyes, but by an essence of sacred worth that is sensed by the spirit. This is the root and heart of compassion and justice. Practices of contemplation help us train our gaze to these deeper truths. In this worship series, we will dwell with the God of divine goodness, deeply in love with us, and practice ways to return that love as we fall more deeply in love with creation and with one another.<\/p>\n

Heart of the Matter<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

~ Easter-Tide Worship Series ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In our Easter-tide series: Heart of the Matter, we create a shared \u201ctemple\u201d of worship in our hearts that connects us across boundaries, distance, and time.\u00a0 At the \u201cheart of the matter,\u201d we are connected through the Spirit that makes us one in love.<\/p>\n

Throughout the Easter season, worshipers are invited to light a candle and place a worry stone next to it and also consume food during the service. So, to enhance your worship experience each Sunday, please prepare the following items before the service begins.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A candle, either wax or battery-operated<\/li>\n
  2. A small stone with a heart shape, painted or drawn on it.<\/li>\n
  3. Breakfast food or snack for yourself (and your family if you are with them)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Making Sense of the Bible<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

    ~ Worship Series ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    The Bible is the most important book for Christians. Both New and Old Testaments are filled with many fascinating stories of our ancestors of faith. God speaks through the Bible, and we find the life and teachings of Jesus in it. But this wonderful book also contains many passages that are rather perplexing, confusing, and disturbing. Inspired by Adam Hamilton\u2019s book,\u00a0Making Sense of the Bible<\/em>, we will examine some of those challenging scriptures.<\/p>\n

    Unsung Heroes of Faith<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

    ~ November Worship Series ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    The Bible is filled with many people who, called by God, use their gifts to make a difference for God’s people.\u00a0 Like Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Peter, and Paul, they are big leaders whose names and accomplishments are well-known to us.\u00a0 But, there many others whose names and\/or actions do get much attention.<\/p>\n

    For three Sundays in November, we will reflect on some of those unsung biblical heroes who can teach us something important about faith. During this sermon series, consider reaching out to the unsung heroes in your own faith journey with a phone call, text, note, etc., to thank them.<\/p>\n

    We are born in the image of a loving and generous God; we are born to be generous. \u00a0In this sermon series, those of us seeking to live a more generous life will be exposed to and inspired by cultural, generational, and family attitudes towards generosity. \u00a0We will be encouraged to embrace the life-giving journey toward generosity and discover a new road map on how to get there.<\/p>\n

    The Awkward & Essential Challenge of Christian Community
    \n~ Worship Series for September ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    We live in a culture which is oriented toward comfort and conformity.
    \nBut, the gospel of Jesus often invites us to most uncomfortable places of life and calls us to embrace uncomfortable aspects of Christianity.<\/p>\n

    Inspired by Brett McCracken\u2019s book, Uncomfortable<\/i>, we will examine the current state of our faith and church and seek to rediscover our true Christian identity.<\/p>\n

    This summer, from June 16 through July 28, we will spend 7 weeks reflecting on each phrase of this simple but profound prayer, so that we will better know for what we are praying when we pray it.<\/p>\n

    Asking questions was central to Jesus\u2019 life and ministry.\u00a0 Throughout his ministry, Jesus himself asked over 300 questions, and he answered only a few of the questions asked\u00a0of<\/em>\u00a0him.\u00a0 He often asked a question to answer a question.\u00a0 Some of Jesus’ questions are simple and straightforward, while others are rhetorical and hard to answer.\u00a0 This Lent, we will reflect on some of the questions Jesus asked to better know God and grow in our relationship with God.<\/p>\n

    Lessons from\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>the Patriarchs…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

    ~ Worship Series for February ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    The dictionary defines a patriarch as a male head of a family or tribe, a person who is regarded as the founder of a colony or religion, and simply a man of great age and dignity. \u00a0The biblical patriarchs are the family line of men God used to establish the nation of Israel, and narrowly defined, they are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob\u2019s 12 sons.
    \nThis sermon series includes the first three patriarchs, and Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob.<\/p>\n

    The stories of the biblical patriarchs that had been handed down by word of mouth for many generations until they were recorded in the book of Genesis are more than just biographies. \u00a0Instead, they are stories of the patriarchs\u2019 faith and trust in God. \u00a0They tell us about the relationships between God and God\u2019s chosen people. \u00a0And so as we read and reflect on the stories of the 4 great patriarchs of the Bible, we will seek to learn something about God and our relationships with God as well.<\/p>\n

    ~ Worship Series ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    Join us for a new sermon series for a new year –
    \n“At the Corner of Happy, Healthy, & Holy”<\/p>\n

    Borrowing Walgreen\u2019s old slogan, \u201cAt the Corner of Happy and Healthy,\u201d we want to say that Campbell United Methodist Church is at the corner of happy, healthy and holy. But, how do we define being happy, healthy, or holy? How can we live a happy, healthy, and holy life? What does the Bible say about it? How can our church promote happiness, healthiness, and holiness in the world? This new sermon series seeks to find answers for these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Simple Rules for Money… \"\" <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

    ~ Stewardship Worship Series Oct 28th – Nov 11th, 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    We all need money to survive in the world, and how we use money goes all the way to the heart of our relationship with God and our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

    John Wesley, in his sermon, \u201cThe Use of Money,\u201d provided for Methodists some basic practices regarding the use of money, and they are still excellent Christian wisdom for us today.
    \nWesley\u2019s rules for money were simple: Earn all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

    Over the next three weeks during the stewardship campaign, we will explore Wesley\u2019s guidance on money.<\/p>\n

    In the society of the 1700\u2019s, when Christians churches faced serious spiritual challenges in the midst of social and political changes, John Wesley, an Anglican priest and Oxford professor preached a faith that brought a revival of Christianity throughout England and across America, and became the founder of the Methodist movement.<\/p>\n

    Wesley’s life and message continue to speak to the Christians in the 21st Century, calling us to a revival of our hearts and minds, so that our lives can be changed, and we can transform the world.<\/p>\n

    For the next six weeks, inspired by Rev. Adam Hamilton\u2019s book, Revival: Faith as Wesley Lived It, <\/i>we will review Wesley\u2019s life and message and rediscover our spiritual passion.<\/p>\n

    The Gospel
    \nAccording<\/strong><\/em> to Pixar… <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

    ~ Worship Series Aug 12 – Sept 2nd, 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    For four Sundays from August 12th to September 2nd, we will reflect on four of the 20 films Pixar has produced over the last 23 years and seek to find spiritual messages in them.<\/p>\n

    As you may already know, Pixar movies offer not only stunningly beautiful visuals but also plenty of simple yet profound truths that touch the hearts of people of all ages and cultures. \u00a0The whole world gets excited when a new Pixar film comes out. \u00a0So, it will be a fun experience for us to watch together some clips from the 4 movies and connect their spiritual messages to our Christian faith.<\/p>\n

    To make this new sermon series more meaningful, you are invited to participate in special mission projects of donating one small item per week for our neighbors in need.
    \nHere is the series schedule of films and donations:<\/p>\n

    August 12<\/strong> \u2013 Toy Story;<\/em>\u00a0 Bring a toy
    \n<\/em>August 19<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Ratatouille;<\/em>\u00a0 Bring a canned food item
    \n<\/em>August 26<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Inside Out;\u00a0<\/em> Bring a box of Kleenex or bandages
    \n<\/em>September 2<\/strong> \u2013 The Incredibles;<\/em>\u00a0 Bring a pair of children’s socks<\/p>\n

    There will be baskets for your donations in the sanctuary narthex.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019d like to watch these wonderful movies<\/em> <\/strong><\/a>with your church family during the sermon series, there will be two opportunities:<\/p>\n

    On Saturdays at 7:00pm<\/strong><\/em> and on Sundays at 11:30am<\/strong><\/em>, both in the Fireside Room<\/a>. Drinks will be provided, but please bring a snack to share.
    \nSee our     Facebook events<\/a>\u00a0for each film and invite family, friends, and neighbors to the showings.<\/p>\n

    ~ A Worship Series based on the book of Acts: 20 May – 24 June 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    On the day of Pentecost, first followers of Christ received the Holy Spirit, and they were changed forever.\u00a0 Empowered by the Spirit, they became bold in their acts of praise, prayer, healing, teaching, and witnessing.\u00a0 Empowered by the Spirit, they became a new movement that spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n

    In this Pentecost season series, we will turn to the book of Acts to learn about the boldness of the early Christian church.<\/p>\n

    Witnesses of Easter\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>\"\"<\/h3>\n

    ~ Worship Series for Easter and Eastertide: 1 April – 13 May 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    The New Testament witnesses were fully aware of the background against which the resurrection took place.\u00a0 The body of Jesus, in accordance with Jewish burial custom, was wrapped in a linen cloth.\u00a0 Approximately 100 pounds of aromatic spices, mixed together to form a gummy substance, were applied to the wrappings of cloth about the body.\u00a0 After the body was placed in a solid rock tomb, an extremely large stone was rolled against the entrance of the tomb. Large stones weighing approximately two tons were normally rolled by means of levers against a tomb entrance.<\/p>\n

    Roman guards were stationed at the tomb.\u00a0 They affixed on the tomb the Roman seal, which was meant to “prevent any attempt at vandalizing the sepulcher.”\u00a0 Anyone trying to move the stone from the tomb’s entrance would have broken the seal and thus incurred the wrath of Roman law.<\/p>\n

    But three days later the tomb was empty. The followers of Jesus said He had risen from the dead.\u00a0 They reported that He appeared to them during a period of 40 days, showing Himself to them by many “infallible proofs.”\u00a0 In this series, we will examine the stories of the Easter Witnesses<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    Jesus in the Gospel of John\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>\"\"<\/h3>\n

    ~ Worship Series for Lent: 18 February – 30 March 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are the four gospels in the Bible, and John is very different in many ways from the other three (who are called Synoptic Gospels<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0gospels<\/em>\u00a0of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are referred to as the\u00a0Synoptic Gospels<\/em>\u00a0because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar or sometimes identical wording.\u00a0 They stand in contrast to John, whose content is comparatively distinct.\u00a0 The Jesus whom we encounter in the unique gospel of John is not the same Jesus that Matthew, Mark, and Luke portray.<\/p>\n

    You are invited to join in worship and explore together several key themes in the gospel of John, as well as read the entire book<\/a> (only 21 chapters) throughout the season of Lent. \u00a0It will be a very meaningful Lenten journey.<\/p>\n
