Looking for a brief devotional amidst your day? Tune in to a Live Stream from Pastor Aleese at about 12:00 p.m. each Tuesday -Friday.
Some days Pastor Aleese will be sharing Live Streams from other congregations so as to get a glimpse of our connection to the broader church.
Link to today’s devotion: What’s so good about “Good” Friday? It’s a question that many have asked. Take a listen to the following video as our Faith on the Go for today, and be sure to join us for worship tonight via Zoom at 7pm.
Previous devotions:
Thurs., April 9: On this day, we begin our journey through the Great Three Days: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, leading to Easter Sunday. Of all years, it might seem strange to celebrate Holy Week right now with everything going on around us. However, even with those things, we are invited to come to the cross with all that we have, all that we carry, and all that we are. Hear Pastor Aleese’s invitation to bring your prayers to the cross, and feel free to share your prayer requests with her via Facebook or her email (pastoraleesebaldwin@gmail.com)
Wed., April 8: Pastor Aleese has three simple words for our Faith on the Go today. Hear this simple message as you begin your Holy Week journey with us.
Tues., April 7: In these weeks apart from one another, the reality of being “scattered” may hit a bit closer to home. We are scattered from one another physically, and we may feel a bit “scattered” as we think about our own lives and our world. But in Christ, all those scattered pieces are brought together in his love. This Maundy Thursday, we have the opportunity to celebrate the sacrament of communion via our Zoom worship as a reminder that though scattered, we are bound together by God’s grace. To help prepare, check out what Pastor Aleese has to say about communion, and click here to be redirected to the recipe for the communion bread we use at SOTC.
Fri., April 3: Though our doors are closed, our ministry continues! For our Faith on the Go today, take a look at what living as the body of Christ has looked like in your homes and in our community! Keep sending Pastor Aleese your pictures so we can share with the congregation!
Thurs., April 2: We all find ourselves walking many “road” right now. Hear this blessing from Pastor Aleese as you go on your way today.
Wed., April 1: For some, life has changed drastically in the past few weeks. For others, it might not look all that different. Either way, Ps. Aleese invites us to a time of prayer today as we entrust ourselves and our world to Christ. Join us in prayer and find the words to the prayer she uses by clicking here. This will take you to a pdf in another window in your browser.
Tues., March 31: All around us, creation is transitioning from winter into spring. New things are literally coming to life after a time of dormancy. In the same way, even now, God IS doing a new thing in our midst. But, do we perceive it?
Fri., March 27: Check out the last of our Faith on the Go devotions for this week! Pastor Aleese leads us through some instructions of how we will gather virtually this weekend for worship, and thanks to her coffee cup, reminds us of God’s promises that are made new every morning.
Thurs., March 26: We might not be meeting in a church building right now, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t BEING the church in our daily lives. At such a time as this, this may be the moment for us to “experiment” and live into what it means to do God’s Work with Our Hands on a daily basis.
Wed., March 25 | In the past two weeks or so, there have been a lot of news reports of what’s going on with COVID-19. But at the same time, there have also been reports of how we are coming together as humanity to make a difference. Today, we have been invited to make a difference by coming together as Christians around the world and praying the Lord’s Prayer TOGETHER. Join us at noon today….or, if you missed 12pm on Wed., March 25, pray on the next hour and join with your brothers and sisters in another time zone around the world. Join us today as we are gathered as humanity and gathered in prayer.
Tues., March 24 | We’ve been hearing the words “shelter in place” in the news and from some government officials around the country. But what would it look like, and what would it be like, if we – as people of faith – committed ourselves to “sheltering in faith,” too? Hear a brief Faith on the Go from Pastor Aleese….before she gets too cold out there!
Fri., March 20 | Join Pastor Aleese for a brief update on how we’ll worship this Sunday and also join her in prayer for the healing of all the nations.
Thurs., March 19 | Our first Faith on the Go! Listen in for a few announcements and then our daily devotion – centering around what “life together” around “tables” might mean at a time such as this.
Wed., March 18 | In the days and weeks to come, you’ll hear from Pastor Aleese around 12 noon for a brief devotional in what we’re calling “Faith on the Go.” Today is a bit late as we are working to get various things up and going. Nevertheless, hear a few thoughts from Pastor Aleese as she encourages us to stop, and offer our prayers for healing…for ourselves, and for the whole world…on this night.
