Living Gratefully - Part 1: The Lord's Goals
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 07, 2016
This Sunday evening we begin our Living Gratefully program. “Living gratefully” - it sounds good but does it feel like something you could do or just like something for really spiritual people? Is it possible to live gratefully in the midst of the mess of a normal person's life? What does that look like? What difference can it make? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Finding the Book of the Law
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 07, 2016

Crying Hosanna! or Lord, Save Me From Myself!
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 31, 2016
This message reflects on the Matthew version of the Palm Sunday story. The focus is on the cry, "Hosanna!" This is a word that literally means, "O Save!" The question is: Save from what? The "saving" that we think about here, is saving from the negative voices that want to discourage us. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZ

Worship Service: Informal Family - January 31, 2016
This year, our school theme is Living Gratefully. How do we notice the blessings in or lives and remember to thank the Lord for them? In particular on Founder's Day, we remember and thank the Lord for all the people who have contributed to Kainon School, and all the ways that Kainon School has been a blessing to the world. And we also ask: what is the best way to demonstrate our thankfulness, to not simply say “thank you” but to live gratefully. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

The Philistines Return the Ark
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 24, 2016
Last week we explored the story of the Philistines capturing the ark of the Covenant and the terrible things that happened to them because of it. The Philistines represent a faith that is devoid of love and charity. The terrible things that happened to them represent the spiritual damage that we do to ourselves when we separate faith from charity. This morning we will continue this story and read about how the Philistines eventually chose to return the Ark of the Covenant to its rightful owner - the Children of Israel. The story of how they did this is filled with wonderful representations of how the Lord leads us away from the destructive life of faith alone, and towards a life where faith and charity are conjoined. Three images stand out: 1. The Philistines built a new cart to carry the Ark back to Israel... 2. They made five golden tumors and five golden mice... 3. They yoked two milk cows to the cart... This week reflect on the rich image of how the Philistines returned the Ark of the Covenant to Israel. How is this an image of the Lord inviting us to escape a faith alone existence? How does the Lord lead us to conjoin our faith with a life of love and charity? | By Rev. Matthew L. Genzlinger | West Concord, MA
