Worshiping In-Person and Online…
February 5, 2023 – Welcoming (Week 2)
On Sunday, February 5, we continued our four week sermon series on welcoming by looking at how we can welcome just like Jesus. We looked at some stories to see how Jesus welcomes by crossing boundaries and meeting people where they’re at.
January 29, 2023 – Welcoming (Week 1)
On Sunday, January 29, we started a four week sermon series on welcoming with a look at our COG Welcome Statement and celebrating Reconciling in Christ Sunday. How does our Welcome Statement define who we are here at COG?
January 22, 2023 – The Book of Jonah (Week 3)
On Sunday, January 15, we concluded our sermon series on the Old Testament Book of Jonah. We looked at chapter 4 and learn how, like Jonah, we’ll be challenged by a God who loves our enemies.
January 15, 2023 – The Book of Jonah (Week 2)
On Sunday, January 15, we continued our sermon series on the Old Testament Book of Jonah. We looked at chapters 2 and 3 and explored what they tell us about our God of second chances.
January 8, 2023 – The Book of Jonah (Week 1)
On Sunday, January 8, we began our 3-week sermon series on the Old Testament Book of Jonah. Only 48 verses, this book asks some challenging ethical questions about who we understand God to be and who we are as God’s people. We
looked at the first chapter, in which Jonah tries to run away from God — something I’m guessing most of us have done (or tried to do) on occasion.
January 1, 2023 – The Nativity Story
On Sunday, January 1, the First Sunday of Christmas, we had a chance to sing more Christmas songs and hear the Christmas story told in readings and video.
