Lament

What is going on among us, anyway? Why does there seem to be no way to break through the brokenness we see all around us? Where on earth will all this lead? How are we supposed to fix it?

Both/And

November 22, 2021/ Elsa Worth

Advent keeps us on our toes, and its meant to. It’s the season in which we’re told to keep awake. To stay alert. To watch, and wait and trust that nothing is impossible with God. These are all no small feats in a world in which on many days it seems like a better idea to go hide our heads under our pillows!

Return

October 11, 2021/ Elsa Worth

Many of us experience a sense of return each week when we come together for worship on Sunday mornings - coming back to be with the people we know and love and who love and support us, hearing the familiear prayers, the music, the exploration of Scripture, and of course, the communion table.

New

May 13, 2019/ Elsa Worth

New Hampshire has beautiful water tumbling over rocks and stones, cascading through waterfalls, and filling springs that are swirling and dancing and alive. But I imagine that God’s spring of the water of life is even more cool, clear and sparkling than any water I’ve seen.

Joy

April 29, 2019/ Elsa Worth
