This week’s sermon begins a seven-week series focused on some of the largest challenges we face as a nation and world, with an eye to how our choices will affect future generations. Since all choices will be moot if our planet becomes uninhabitable, we start there. The time for some choices related to the earth have passed; but others still remain.

The members and friends of Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church are hard at work preparing for this year’s Holiday Faire, to be held Saturday, November 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Our home-made apple pies will fill the freezer. Our crafters have been knitting, crocheting, and sewing handmade treasures all year and this is your chance to scoop them up! Our bakers and soup makers are getting ready to fill our baked goods table and snack bar, so you’ll have plenty of tasty options if you get hungry while shopping. Our White Elephant and Book Sale tables will soon be groaning with treasures. Plus the jewelry table, Christmas Room, and cookie bar! We hope you’ll join us in kicking off the holiday season at this beloved community event.
This last week of looking at heresies and ideas that have divided the church, we are revisiting an issue we mentioned in passing during our visit with Pelagius. Are human beings truly free to choose our actions and direct the course of our lives or does God have a plan with all that mapped out ahead of time? Is the meaning of our lives given to us from beyond or made by us as we live? It’s actually a question that bedevils science as well as the church. Watch and listen (or read) to learn more about that and more!

In the catalogue of church disputes across the centuries, few loom as large as the question of whether we are saved by faith or our works. The second chapter of James is on point that the two things belong together, but that hasn’t kept us from fighting about it. Watch and listen (or read) to learn more about that and more!

In this sermon, we’re back with the heretics, taking a good look at the heresy that made Constantine the Great convene the Council of Nicaea. Arius is the name of the man who started it all. Why are there Medieval legends about St. Nicholas punching Arius at the Council of Nicaea? Watch and listen (or read) to learn more about that and more!
