Caring for Creation: What Then Shall We Do? (John 3:10)
An invitation from Tim Goodwin and Clay Oglesbee (retired Elder) Starting on Sunday, April 27 our congregation will host a four-week worship-and-teaching series, Caring for Creation: “What Then Should We Do?” We invite our members, as well as guests from the wider community, to consider together current understandings of climate change or climate crisis, the implications for us and for all in these times. We ask, depending on our understanding of what is taking place, what is a faithful response? “What then shall we do?” (John 3:10).

The four New Testament Gospels aren’t the same story, but they offer the same Resurrection hope. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John devote most of their story detailing Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem, all highlighting Jesus’ triumphant entry into the city, the suffering and humiliation of the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, but the stories they tell aren’t quite the same. |
Each gospel offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus’ Passion. One portrait reveals Jesus to be in control, while another emphasizes his suffering. In one story Jesus offers hope to the thief on the cross, and in another Jesus only receives derision. These different perspectives aren’t a reason to dismiss the Gospels; rather they reveal an abundant, diverse and complementary picture of God’s work in the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus.
