SUMMARY:Get Out Of Your Head - Bible Study - Week 6
DESCRIPTION:Are your thoughts holding you captive? “I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me.” \nSometimes the greatest battle for our lives takes place right between our ears. In Get Out of Your Head\, a six-week study in Philippians\, we will be inspired and equipped to transform our emotions\, our outlook\, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts and changing our focus. And when we change our focus from sin and death to life and peace\, our lives are changed\, as are the lives of the people around us. \nEach participant will receive a workbook with weekly readings and exercises to help you get the most out of this study. We hope you’ll set aside some time to join us for this 6-week journey on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. beginning June 9. \n\n\n\n\nI Want to Get Out of My Head

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday\, we’re beginning a new sermon series that will guide us through the Book of Ephesians. Ephesians has been called “the Queen of the Epistles”. Why so much enthusiasm for a letter? Perhaps the simplest response is that the letter contains everything you need to explain the faith in one compact package. It’s about gearing up\, about making sure that our faith is not just an internal thing\, not just a head thing. It is about living out the faith. \nWe start by throwing a party. To celebrate what\, you ask? The God who has blessed us in every way – that’s what we’re celebrating; that’s what we are testifying to. But these aren’t exclusive blessings. Rather\, we are reminded that we are blessed to be a blessing. \nHow are we reaching out to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the community around us? Whose life has been affected by the church in tangible ways? \nJoin us as Mike Tironi leads us in worship online and in person this Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as we come before the Lord with praise in our hearts ready to Set our Hope on Jesus the Christ. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Tell me if this has ever happened to you: your in the middle of your day\, moving right along with your projects at work or at home\, when all of a sudden the power or the internet go out. Suddenly all of the momentum you had\, whether your project was binge watching your favorite TV series or trying to power through your to do list\, is lost and things come to a screeching halt! \nThose of you who are still sensible enough to live in the analog world are probably laughing at me right now\, but all of you digital world people know just want I’m talking about. We can feel so great about all that we can do in this world until the source of our productivity goes away. It is then that we are humbled and acknowledge just how dependent we are on sources of power that are external to ourselves. \nThis Sunday\, as we celebrate the Fourth of July\, we’ll have an opportunity to get real about the Source of our power and strength\, both as individuals and as a country. As we do\, we’ll come to find\, like Paul\, that our strength comes when we let the power of Christ flow in and through our lives. \nJoin us as our community of faith gathers for worship online and in person this Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as we come before the Lord with praise in our hearts ready to Know the Source of our Power. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship starts at 10 am. \nHas this ever happened to you? You’re running late for something: a meeting\, a date\, a deadline…\, or maybe you’re trying to master your to do list\, and you just figured out how you can make it all happen before the end of the day\, and then the phone rings\, or a friend stops by\, or a colleague knocks on your cubicle asking\, “Got a minute?” \n<Sigh> Moment of truth: do you tell the person that you don’t have the time because you have to stick to your schedule\, or do you make the time to care for the person in front of you? As a to do list master\, I find myself in these situations more often than I’d like. A member of my family needs something\, someone from the church needs my advice or assistance\, or someone in need calls desperate for help. What’s the faithful response? \nGod has blessed us with so many gifts of grace. Often we summarize them in terms of our time\, our talent\, our gifts\, our service\, and our witness or story. As a faithful disciple of Jesus’\, our call is not only to identify the gifts God has entrusted us with\, but also to discern how and when God is calling on us to share them with others. \nWho is interrupting you with their needs and their cries for help? Who has been left on the margins because of things beyond their control and is reaching out for a way into the community? How do you make space? How do you stop your busy\, headlong rush to accomplish your tasks\, as important as they may be\, and find time to be touched by another’s need? \nJoin us as our community of faith gathers for worship online and in person this Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as we pause long enough to listen to Jesus as he responds to people wondering\, “Can You Spare Some Grace?” \nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Father’s Day! \n— \nSummer begins next week\, and with it\, the forecast is beginning to change. If you’ve spent any time in New Jersey\, you know the three H’s well: Hazy\, Hot\, and Humid. And whenever those three H’s are in the forecast\, you know what comes next … with a chance of afternoon or evening thunderstorms. \nThunderstorms are a fact of life\, both literally and metaphorically. In the literal sense\, they mostly cause a delay in the evening baseball games or picnics\, but occasionally they can be severe and cause damage. Metaphorically\, they represent the unpredictable\, but somewhat expected interruptions to the regular flow of life that can be anywhere from inconvenient to anxiety inducing. \nHow do you handle these storms of life? Where is Jesus during these times? Is he part of the solution or just along for the ride? And what does any of this have to do with accepting the Grace of God in vain? \nJoin us as our community of faith gathers for worship online and in person this Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as we go sailing with Jesus when the forecast is Hot & Humid with a Chance of Storms. \n— \nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Gardening season is here\, and this Sunday we’re going to learn from some tips and tricks from the Master Gardener. For any of you who have ever spent time playing in the dirt and planting seeds\, you know the joy and satisfaction that come with seeing the fruits of your labor sprout up and bear fruit in the form of beautiful flowers or delicious fruits and vegetables. \nAs you stand back and watch this plant grow and take shape\, I want you to think about your role in bringing this plant to life. What have you actually done to contribute to this life? What was out of your control? How has God’s hand been involved? \nThe answers to these questions tell us much about our relationship with God’s work of salvation and kingdom building in our world today. Like the seeds we plant in the garden\, the seeds of grace that we plant through our daily living are sprouting up all around us. What seeds are you planting? What crops do we desire? What is our role in bringing those crops to fruition? What is God’s? \nJoin us as our community of faith gathers for worship online and in person this Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as we go Gardening with God. \nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Get Out Of Your Head - Bible Study - Week 1
DESCRIPTION:Are your thoughts holding you captive? “I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me.” \nSometimes the greatest battle for our lives takes place right between our ears. In Get Out of Your Head\, a six-week study in Philippians\, we will be inspired and equipped to transform our emotions\, our outlook\, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts and changing our focus. And when we change our focus from sin and death to life and peace\, our lives are changed\, as are the lives of the people around us. \nEach participant will receive a workbook with weekly readings and exercises to help you get the most out of this study. We hope you’ll set aside some time to join us for this 6-week journey on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. beginning June 9. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI Want to Get Out of My Head

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:In Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical “Hamilton”\, Alexander Hamilton meets Aaron Burr for the first time. During the encounter\, Burr offers the young value-driven Hamilton some advice that defines their rocky relationship”: \n“Talk less … smile more … don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for … you wanna to get ahead? … Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.” \nBurr is the epitome of political correctness while Hamilton is a person who lives out his values and fights heroically for the new nation during the Revolutionary War and beyond. But in the end\, he does in deed wind up dead at the hand of Aaron Burr. \nRegardless of which person you believe chose the wiser course to live their life\, we all have values and all understand the daily choices we make to live them out. When do we raise our voices? When do we remain silent? What values are worth standing up for? How do we renew ourselves and keep ourselves grounded in our beliefs? \nJesus and the Apostle Paul knew a thing or two about living our their values and the costs of doing so. And they also have much to offer us about how to renew ourselves as we do the same. Join us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. online or in our sanctuary as we explore how we can gain the strength we need to live our our Christian values. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines. If you do not feel well\, and have symptoms related to COVID-19 or were possibly exposed\, we ask that you attend church through our multiple online worship platforms. \nIn-Person: 10 Stillwater Road\, Blairstown\, NJ \nOnline: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Facebook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorship on Youtube

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:How well do you know God\, I mean really KNOW God? Sounds like an odd question to ask people who worship God on a regular basis\, right? I mean\, you are all intelligent people who love God\, of course you know God\, but can anyone really know everything there is to know about God? \nFor instance\, how many names can you come up with for God? To get you started\, you could name the trinity of Father\, Son\, and Holy Spirit\, but how many more could you come up with? 20? 50? 100? There are many names for God that are used in our scriptures – over 100 by some counts – and each one offers a different understanding or attribute of God. \nWhy do you suppose there are so many? I mean\, most of us only have one name\, maybe two or three if we’re lucky. Why so many names for God? For me\, it is a testimony to God’s greatness that goes beyond our human ability to describe. It affirms that we worship a God that astounds us\, surprises us\, and can’t be nailed down (we tried that\, remember?). \nThis Sunday\, I hope you’ll join us to worship God\, who is bigger\, who inspires and transforms\, who unsettles us a little bit too. Let’s come before God with more questions than answers and ready to be transformed by grace. I hope you’ll join us online or in-person this Sunday at 10 a.m \n  \n——— \nIn-Person and Online Worship is available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we ask if you are attending in-person\, to please wear a mask and follow CDC guidelines.

SUMMARY:Let's Explore the Spirit Together!
DESCRIPTION:“What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in my life?” This is the question we will explore in our Wednesday Faith Conversations group beginning April 21\, as we embark on a 6-week study of the Book of Acts. Luke makes it clear that the Church did not start on account of any human endeavor\, but by the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to give. Because of the power of the Holy Spirit\, the Church became an agent for change\, bore witness to the faith\, and became a radically unique and diverse community. \nHow is the Spirit at work in your life and in the Church today? Join us for the conversation as we seek to understand how this text continues to inform and challenge us as modern day disciples of Jesus. The group meets at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays via Zoom. Contact Pastor Dave for more details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Wednesday’s Study on Zoom
