For your contemplation: “If God’s incomprehensibility does not grip us in a word, if it does not draw us into his super luminous darkness, if it does not call us out of the little house of our homely, close-hugged truths…we have misunderstood the words of Christianity,” – Karl Rahner.

United Methodist Church

Pastor Alissa Bertsch Johnson will lead Sunday morning worship at the United Methodist Church this week. She will continue the sermon series, “Sunday School Lessons All Grown Up” preaching on Joseph and his coat of many colors.

Pastor Pat Sleeth will assist with the service. Holy Communion will be celebrated this Sunday.
