Readfield UMC: January 2011
http://readfieldumc.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Community Conversation with the Readfield United Methodist Church. Monday, January 24, 2011. Do You See What I See? This week's readings in John chapter 2 bring us into two uncomfortable conversations. One begins with Jesus talking back to his mother (John 2: 1-17). But this domestic scene is just an appetizer. The real action begins when Jesus’ get to his God-Father’s house, the temple. (John 2: 18-22). These two stories cast Jesus in a different light than we are used to seeing him. Listen to what I say.

Readfield UMC: March 2011
http://readfieldumc.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Community Conversation with the Readfield United Methodist Church. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Mission Moment from Haiti. We pulled up to a locked, metal gate, honked the horn at which the gate was opened and we drove in to see our home: a hospital, still under construction. We stayed on the second floor. I shared a room with the 7 other women on my team. Http:/ www.graceintl.org. Our guide and security guards brought us through the tent city at Grace. Tents? Moving dirt seemed to be a constant need during...

Community Conversation with the Readfield United Methodist Church. Monday, April 25, 2011. Photo by Tina Phillips. Worship this coming Sunday will be a celebration of holy humor.

While the ariways are already raging with pictures and projections of Hurricane Irene's impact, we sit under a hazy sky blanket in reasonably cool air, puttering at normal Saturday activities: yard work, art shows, funerals. that intersect with preparations for what may come. Visit our Pa...

Community Conversation with the Readfield United Methodist Church. Sunday, February 20, 2011. In worship this morning we watched (part of this) with the children's Sunday School question in mind, "who is my neighbor? The internet is really slow on the hill this weekend, so we weren't able to finish the video clip. So for those who saw part and those who saw none yet, here's Sermon Spice's "Set Service.". Thou shalt love the lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and your neighbor as yourself.
