Free at Last...To Apologize

The Galatians sermon series is drawing to a close. We will complete Paul's letter in worship this Sunday, June 26, together with the Ordination/Installation of new Elders and Deacons. We certainly hope you will join us for this time of worship and discipleship.

As the series concludes, I would like to offer a sincere apology for the lack of activity on this blog. Initially, this seemed like a great way to continue the learning and worship beyond the Sunday morning worship. Online journals and communication outlets may still be an excellent resource but, in this case, the leadership (on my part) was not committed. I apologize for neglecting to post on a regular basis and, therefore, hindering the potential conversations and community development.

With that said, your ideas and suggestions are always welcome! If you know of a blog that was exceptional and have ideas for creating one for the Fellowship community, we want to hear about it! Also, if you have ideas for practices, events, communication tools, etc. that may help us live into our calling as Christ's disciples to be always growing, let us know!

Blessings to you as you live into your freedom in Christ!

What is Freedom?

Have you ever asked yourself this question? I mean really asked?


Freedom has political, legal, communal and personal implications. Certain leaders may lean on our desires for freedom in order to promote political or legislative action. Laws and policies are crafted in order to protect certain freedoms. Cultural norms and traditions are established as guidelines for expressing one's freedom in the context of community. Therapists, psychologists and counselors navigate extensive training and education in hopes of loosing others from the mental and emotional burdens that hold them captive.

And then, into the chaos of earthly life enters a man who proclaims freedom in Christ.

So what does it mean?

I hope that you will travel with us as we explore what it means together to be set free through Christ, our Lord. Post a comment and share your thoughts and questions.

Here are a few that may help us wonder together...
