Reflection
Anne Hutchinson believed deeply in a gospel of grace and bravely spoke up about those convictions. Accused and judged based on perception and the threat others projected onto her, she knew what it was to be misunderstood. Her life shows what happens when people rush to judgment or insist on simple categories of right and wrong.

Abigail in 1 Samuel 25 steps into that same human pattern with courage, interrupting a cycle of assumption and escalating anger. Both women remind us that faithful living requires more than reacting to appearances. It asks us to slow down, seek truth with humility, and make room for the gray spaces where wisdom and compassion can take root.

Reflection Question:

Where might God be inviting you to look beyond first impressions and practice the kind of grounded grace that Anne Hutchinson embodied?

We Gather at the Lord’s Table

Jesus didn’t put any rules around coming to the table, so neither do we. All are loved and embraced here and all are welcome at this table of Love. Our communion bread is gluten free. We come forward to the table to receive bread and cup at 9AM, we pass the bread and cup at 11AM. Please place your empty cup in the rack on the pew back. If you are worshipping from home, we invite you to find bread and juice or other elements to use as we share this feast.

We Greet and Go Forth
Engage with your neighbor as you go out to serve and carry God’s love to the world.
