About This Podcast
Our hectic lives don't always allow us to take the full time needed to attend services on Sundays. Now, in addition to watching the video recordings, you can take the sermons with you on-the-go!
We will post sermons and some supporting service elements that you can listen to as meditations or as the soundtrack to your active life!
We started off this podcast venture with the series Rev. Kevin did related to the Enneagram in 2023-24.
Season 2 pulls sermons and reflections on our changing political and social environment beginning in the Fall of 2024.
In addition, we will post sermon-only episodes in a special "Season 99," where we've cut to the chase so you can go back to partying like it's 1999.
