Join us this Sunday, March 8, 2026, the 3rd Sunday in Lent at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

March is Women’s History Month and March 8th is Celebrate the Gifts of Women Sunday and International Women’s Day.  International Women’s Day is recognized each year to address challenges unique to women and girls.  We honor women by supporting empowerment through education, training, and access to financial opportunities, in other words, justice. 

 

Our liturgy for this Gifts of Women Sunday will feature and focus on women.  The text for my message this week comes from Ruth 1:1-19 and my sermon title is “Committing to Something of Value”.  The story of Ruth and Naomi is an important one, not just because of the loyalty modeled by Ruth but because of the way it reveals the sovereignty of God. In Bethlehem, Yahweh allowed Ruth to remarry and give birth to a son named Obed, who became grandfather to King David. Despite Ruth’s non-Jewish, outsider status, God worked through her life to change the history of the world, providing us with yet another example of God doing God’s best work through the unlikely.    Plan to join us this Sunday for Gifts of Women Sunday.
