A Blessing Before We Go: "Hold Fast to What is Good" - Rev. Meg Peery McLaughlin (05.10.26)

Perfect Pairings: "Covenant Over Competition" - Rev. Jarrett McLaughlin (06.21.26)

The disciples went out two by two — and Scripture is full of partnerships that drew out something in each other that couldn't emerge alone. Elijah & Elisha, David & Jonathan, Moses & Aaron, Mary & Martha, Paul & Silas — each pair made the other more fully themselves, and more fully faithful. In a world that keeps telling us to go it alone, two congregations are choosing a different way this summer. Familiar clergy voices from both congregations will lead each week as we explore a sermon series called “Perfect Pairings.” In the second sermon of this series, Reverend Jarrett McLaughlin preaches on "Covenant Over Competition" from 1 Samuel 18:1-5.

In the final sermon of the series, "A Blessing Before We Go", Rev. Meg Peery McLaughlin preaches from Habakkuk 3:17-19. As we temporarily relocated our physical place of worship, we are charged to go and "Love and serve the Lord, rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit." "No matter where our feet will take us, God will steady them. We can walk to the edge. God has got us. We will not fall. Thanks be to God."
