Summer Sermon Series in Worship

By

You probably know the stories. You learned them with felt boards and flannel graphs and maybe a catchy song or two. But Sunday school had to leave some parts out! This summer in worship, we’ll be going back for a closer look at the stranger details, the harder questions, and the endings that don’t resolve the way we remembered. Join us as we take a look at what Sunday School didn’t teach.

  • July 11 – The Story of Creation (Genesis 1-3)
  • July 19 – Noah (Genesis 6-7; 9)
  • July 26 – David & Goliath (1 Samuel 17)
  • August 2 – The Syrophoenician Woman (Mark 7:24-30)
  • August 8 – Jonah (Jonah 3:10-4:11)
  • August 16 – The Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16)
  • August 23 – Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)
  • August 30 – Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:1-3; John 20)

Classic Cars & BBQ Potluck – July 11

By

All are welcome to join us in The Grove (our grassy area just off the parking lot) after the Saturday July 11 Sabbath Worship Service for a BBQ/Pot Luck and Car Show. Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Potato Salad will be provided by the Men’s Lunch Group. Bring your favorite side dish or dessert to share with your church family.

If you have a Classic Car and would like to share your special car with your church friends, please contact Greg P. or Steve C. that you’re going to show your special car.

Cafe Justo Coffee During Fellowship

By

Starting this summer, the coffee we serve during fellowship time on Sunday mornings is getting an upgrade… in quality and in conscience. We’re trialing Café Justo (Just Coffee) for our weekly coffee fellowship. Café Justo is a grower-owned cooperative based in southern Chiapas, Mexico. A longtime PC(USA) mission partner, their coffee is organic, shade-grown, and delicious!

What makes it different is their “Fair Trade Plus” model. Traditional fair trade is a step in the right direction, but in that system the growers still see only a fraction of the retail price. Fair Trade Plus cuts out the middlemen entirely — the cooperative handles growing, roasting, packaging, and export, which means the money stays in the community. Growers are paid more than three times the standard fair trade rate, and the cooperative provides health insurance for growers and their families. In short: it’s coffee that tastes good and does good.

Coming soon: we’ll be setting up a way for members to order Café Justo for home use, which also helps offset international shipping costs for the congregation. Stay tuned for details.

Gifts of Women Sunday – June 7

By

On June 7 at 9:30am, we gather for a worship service that has become one of the highlights of our year. Deanna W. will preach, Shana Woodbury will preside at the Table, and women will lead throughout — as liturgists, as musicians, as the voices that call us to prayer and send us into the week. We will also celebrate the installation of incoming Presbyterian Women of Southminster officers, commissioning them for the year ahead.

Come ready to give thanks — for the women who have shaped this congregation, and for those who continue to lead it forward.
