When God acted in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, the result was not a religion or an institution per se but a community, a community that lived out of an alternative identity in the world. This community is, from a theological viewpoint, the community-creating Reality of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

“Baseball as a Metaphor for Life”

Our spring 2009 series focuses on baseball, the All-American game and traditional national pastime. In recent years, baseball has suffered from drug and sex scandals, over-inflated egos and the salaries to match, win-at-any-cost tactics and shady dealings, maladies which have actually shadowed the sport for over a century. But baseball also allures us with the innocent dreams of childhood when good guys were rewarded, if not with winning seasons and trophies, then with the promise that virtue, innocence, teamwork, camaraderie, and hope really exist. Join us on five select Friday evenings this spring as we engage six exemplary baseball movies for what they might suggest about the meaning of the game of life.

Steeple on the Hill

This book is Ed’s attempt to tell the story of First Presbyterian. However, in the process, he also tells his own.

Our tradition is to bring non-perishable foods to church on Communion Sunday for the food bank to share with those in need. Just place it in one of the baskets outside the sancturary or drop off anytime at the basket in the office...
