Saved by Faith? A Secure Base: Trust as the Foundation for Wholeness
02/06/2024Walter introduced the next season's theme for SCC, "The Roots of Resilience," by talking about the gift of deep trust that we all need, arising from a variety of sources like a secure attachment to our parents and/or a healing encounter with God's ever-present Love (and most assuredly not from Divine threats of eternal abandonment). The post Saved by Faith? A Secure Base: Trust as the Foundation for Wholeness appeared first on St. Croix Church.

A Tale of Two Cities
19/05/2024 Duration: 36minOn this Pentecost Sunday, good friend and frequent guest at SCC, Bradley Jersak, gave some background on the Holy Spirit and then shared how the outpouring of the Holy Spirit recorded in Acts 2 created a unity based on respectful listening and speaking that preserves diversity as opposed to the monolithic and proud empire of Babel.

Let Go!
05/05/2024 Duration: 26minJess Williams shares what she's been learning about letting go. She considers the ways our culture glorifies independence, success, and getting by on your own, and how this is the opposite of the good life Jesus invited us into. Jess encourages us to let go of the things that keep us isolated and alone when what we need is the help and support of a loving community. The post Let Go! appeared first on St. Croix Church.

Just How Much Do I Want To Be A Christian
21/04/2024 Duration: 34minMark continues where he left off in his last talk (on the temptations of Jesus - "Give Up Like Jesus ") after he shares some of his thoughts on how to read the Bible in a way that might make you more interested in being a Christian. Then he draws our attention to why it was important that Jesus started by building community with some fishermen.

Intergenerational Connections
14/04/2024 Duration: 23minAt our Second Breakfast potluck, Janell shared about the variety of intergenerational connections she's had throughout her life, and continues to enjoy today. From growing up in a close knit church community, to moving to St. Stephen, and now working as a piano teacher and fitness coach for older adults, Janell has experienced the value and joy of nurturing relationships across the ages, and helped us all think about this as a way of being rooted together in Love as a community The post Intergenerational Connections appeared first on St. Croix Church.

Jesus the Lousy Politican: An Easter Story
07/04/2024 Duration: 26minWalter uses a story to make the point of how the political methods of Jesus were not at all on the same page as others - and this remains true to this day. The church that follows Jesus has only one approach to politics: to be communities of compassion, generosity and joy. The post Jesus the Lousy Politican: An Easter Story appeared first on St. Croix Church.

Life out of Death
31/03/2024 Duration: 32minOur Easter Sunday service wove together music, liturgy, lectionary readings, personal "life out of death" stories from three beloved members of our community - Bill, Lorna, and Moriah - and a homily from Rachael. The recording begins with the three "witnesses" and is followed by Rachael's invitation to sit with the improbability of the resurrection of Jesus, allowing it to be less of a provable certainty and more of a miraculous mystery - that calls to us and shapes our own lived experience of loss and renewal. The post Life out of Death appeared first on St. Croix Church.
