This week we will continue our Sunday series based on Lauren Casper’s book entitled Loving Well In A Broken World. Lauren shows us how our ‘blind spots’ can be like blinders on a horse and block us from seeing the total picture of ourselves and others.
At the end of the service, don’t turn off your machine. Skip and Cody, our AV aces, have been putting on fun stuff related to the service— and you won’t want to miss it!
This Sunday we start a new Sunday series based on the book Loving Well in a Broken World by Lauren Casper. Lauren has so much to say to us as we go through this period of pandemic, social unrest, election cycles, and personal challenges.

This week my message centers on the importance and power of prayer. I talk about how important affirmative prayer was to me after my wife died of cancer three-and-a-half years ago. I also make suggestions about how we can renew our prayer lives.

Buddhist scriptures tell the story of a man who spat in the Buddha’s face. At the August 23 Sunday service, Rev. Dr. Rick Belous will talk about what we can learn from how the Buddha handled this situation.
“In this year where we have seen a lot of anger, it is interesting to view how Buddha not only dealt with this angry man, but how he also responded to his angry monks. This incident happened about 500 years before Jesus was born, but it sounds like something from a modern news cycle,” Rev. Rick notes.

At the Sunday, August 16, service, we will be looking at sea horses and real peace. Rev. Dr. Rick Belous will be talking about a diver who found his connection to God underwater through sea horses.
“There is a great deal to learn from this diver’s adventures- and misadventures. His bond with sea horses was a ‘pure activity.’ It is good to examine if we have such ‘pure activities’ in our life,” Rev. Rick says.
