We come to our third value in the ABIDE framework this week. Dr. Lois Malcolm will preach from 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5 and help us to see how the value of INCLUSION is grounded in our shared practice of communion.

If you live close to campus, I encourage you to come to campus, even if you don’t have class on Wednesday. It is so good to be together, to sing, to pray, to share the bread and wine….AND…to share some treats at the Chapel Cafe afterward. If you are not able to drive to campus, I encourage you to tune in to the YouTube Livestream. The service will be available on the YouTube channel afterwards to watch in your own time and space.

Please note that we have a sermon snippet Fall 2025 playlist where you can watch the sermon for each service and share with your friends.
