July 5, 2026 - What We Carry

Rev. Brandon Nonnemaker, Ed.D. As the United States marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this sermon reflects on the stories we tell and the truths we often forget. Through Rebekah’s courageous “yes” and Jesus’ invitation to rest, it explores a freedom rooted not in certainty but in God’s promise. It is an invitation to give thanks for our country while placing our deepest hope in God’s kingdom.

June 21, 2026 - A Deeper Belonging

Rev. Brandon Nonnemaker, Ed.D. Looking at Hagar’s exile in the wilderness and Jesus’ difficult words of division, this sermon explores how God’s deeper work of belonging often begins when familiar structures of identity fall apart. Rather than preserving our false unities, God invites us into the abundant communion of the Trinity—a life of relationship where no one is disposable and no one is beyond God’s hearing.

June 14, 2026 - Roads go ever on and on

Rev. Beau Farr Whether in the transition between Matthew 9 and 10, or on the road to Bucklebury Ferry without Gandalf, striking out without your mentor is transformational. We are forced to the center of the narrative and asked to assume responsibility for the mission. These moments teach us how to bring our foundation with us, and let it carry us through the unexpected journeys ahead.

Outreach Mission: Street Medicine with Nina Wright

Street Medicine with Nina Wright: Caring for Gainesville's Most Vulnerable Neighbors What does it look like when a community refuses to look away from its most vulnerable neighbors? In this episode, Bruce Leyton sits down with Nina Wright, registered nurse and clinical operations director at Good News Clinics, to explore the heart behind Gainesville's Unity Project Street Medicine clinic. Born out of the closure of the Flat Creek homeless encampment — home to nearly 300 unhoused individuals — Street Medicine operates every Wednesday morning at the Unity Project shelter on Dorsey Street, offering free walk-in healthcare to anyone who walks through the door, no insurance required. Nina shares how a small but dedicated team of volunteers — nurses and everyday people alike — provides primary care, chronic disease management, medications, and now psychiatry services to some of Gainesville's most overlooked neighbors. Powered by a partnership with Northeast Georgia Health Systems and deeply rooted in the mission of Good News Clinics, Street Medicine is more than a clinic — it's a lifeline. Along the way, Nina shares a story of one patient's remarkable journey from open heart surgery to housing and employment — a story that captures exactly why this work matters. "If we make a difference in the life of one person that needs so much help and so much love and so much support — that is a good work day." — Nina Wright ________________________________ Guest: Nina Wright, RN, Clinical Operations Director, Good News Clinics [https://www.goodnewsclinics.org/] Host: Bruce Leyton, Grace Episcopal Church Outreach Committee Learn about Unity Project Gainsville at on their Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61590871253708] and Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/UnityProjectGVL] accounts.
