Coming Up in Worship

On Sunday, March 21, the sermon will be "Who Gets to Be Best Friends Forever with Jesus?" based on Isaiah 43:16-21 and John 21:1-8.

New Worship Service

During Lent (February 21-March 28), we are offering a new worship opportunity:  a 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening contemplative service. Instead of the sermon from Sunday morning, it provides more opportunity for reflection, prayer, even silence. Each week we will worship and engage scripture through music with a more acoustic feel, through drama and other creative arts, and through a weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper. During Lent we will explore Biblical and ancient expressions of prayer. To achieve a sense of intimacy, we’re holding the service in Room 214—using candles and furnishings to transform the room into worship space. Childcare is provided.

Mars Hill Audio Journal

Mars Hill Audio Journal, a Christian interview program hosted by NPR veteran Ken Myers, explores "contemporary culture from the vantage point of Christian conviction."

"Pray for Our Enemies" Blogspot

Jesus stated in Mathew and Luke that we should pray for our enemies. One of SPC’s members, Henry “Mack” Davis, has felt considerable spiritual prodding in this area for some time and has set up a blogspot, http://prayforourenemies.blogspot.com, that has his initial thoughts on the subject and is beginning to draw outside participation. If you are interested in thinking about this challenging teaching, check out Mack's site.
