9.18 [TEACHING] Old Creed, New World (wk 3) - Maker of Heaven and Earth

Jason Miller - Since the 19th century, the story of creation has been complicated by another story about the biological processes that led to the diversity of life we see on our planet. Are these competing stories? Or is it possible that God is showing us something beautiful in the story that Darwin tells?

9.11 [REFLECTION] A Liturgy of Creed, Love, and Faithfulness

This week in our gatherings we introduced a new song that is based on the Apostle's Creed and we entered into a practice called Prayers of the People. We felt it important to pray for the Church at large, individual needs, and remembrance on a day such as September 11th, as well as center ourselves on the faithfulness and love of God through all seasons of life.

9.11 [TEACHING] Old Creed, New World (wk 2) - ”...in God the Father...”

Jason Miller - Of all the things a creed could say about God, the first thing the Apostles' Creed says is that God is Father. What does that do in a world with such complicated experiences around gender, patriarchy, parenthood, and faith?

9.4 [TEACHING] Old Creed, New World (wk 1) - ”We believe...”

Jason Miller - At a time when belief is more complicated than ever, what purpose does a creed serve? We're starting a new series on the Apostles' Creed, and before we get into the story it tells, we're asking some questions about what it does.

8.28 [TEACHING] The Paradoxes We Embrace

Jason Miller - Some tensions aren’t meant to be resolved, and Christian theology has other language for that kind of thing. Today we consider the role of paradox in life and faith.

7.31 [PRACTICE + REFLECTION] Community and Communion Gathering

There was not a new sermon this weekend at South Bend City Church, but we instead took some time to reflect, meditate, and engage in a gathering designed to lead us to the table. We had the opportunity to have kids in our gatherings and for them lead us in different ways. Over 50 kids created art based on our four mantras and those pieces were displayed during a liturgy centered on those binding values that we hold. We also heard two spoken word pieces created by elementary aged students and had the opportunity to respond to the same prompts. We would love for you to join with us in this gathering by looking at a few pieces of the art, grabbing markers and paper, and engaging however best speaks to you. Our time together culminates with the Eucharist so feel free to grab crackers and juice and join us at the table.
