Good Shepherd Sunday
"The Voice That Finds You in the Noise” John R. Hilley, preaching. (John 10:1-10) In a world that floods us with noise, confusion, and competing claims designed to exhaust and disorient, Jesus names himself the gate and the good shepherd — the voice that leads toward life rather than away from it. Communion Sunday.

Mother's Day Sunday
Mother’s Day can be a joyful AND complicated day. Lots of flowers, lots of music, and lots of love to share on this day. Sermon: "Her Hands Full of Flowers: A Mother's Day Meditation on Being Known and Not Sorted"? (John 14:15-21, John R. Hilley, preaching. God does not sort us by our status before loving us. The Spirit — the Paraclete, the one who comes alongside — is given to all, not distributed according to categories. As we celebrate the many and varied forms of mothering love this day, we resist the impulse to rank or classify, and instead invite every woman and every person shaped by love to receive, freely, a symbol of that love in whatever color speaks to their soul.
