We continue to explore our theme for 2021-2022 "Weaving Spirit and story to discern our way forward." This week we'll listen to the story of the call of Samuel. We'll explore how sometimes God calls us to both speak and to hear a word of truth, even if that truth is hard and even if that truth is directed to people or institutions we love.

Sunday, October 10
We hear the story of God providing manna to God's people in the wilderness. We listen for how this story resonates for us today--both as people who are living in liminal times, but also as people called to participate in an economy of enough-ness, where we can help provide daily bread to others. We hear stories from our own LOUCC history and a sister congregation, as we consider how God is calling us to meet tangible needs today.

We continue in Year 4 of the narrative lectionary. This week we hear the story of the call of Moses. Hearing the cries of God's people, God responds by calling Moses into the work of liberation. Using Spirit and story, God invites Moses into a new way forward where he must live out his faith in his own generation. How can we open ourselves to Spirit and story as we listen for God's call in our lives?

We continue in Year 4 of the Narrative Lectionary. This week we wrestle with the difficult story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. Often interpreted as a story of faithfulness, could it be that it's a story of what not to do? Come join us as we try to listen for how this story speaks to our lives today.
