Do Unto Others
Lent Series
We have all heard “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It is the Golden Rule. Jesus said it is the summary of the Law and the Prophets. It is the foundation of what being a Christian should be. But what does it actually mean? What does it mean to apply this concept in the world? Jesus had many chances to “Do unto others,” especially to women.
Women were often the object of his kindness, advocacy, and grace. Our current worship series will reveal how Jesus applied “Do unto others” to a poor widow at the Temple, a woman caught in adultery, a foreign woman at the well, two women grieving, and the women who accompanied him.
As we move toward Easter we will see what “Do Unto Others” really looks like and also how “Do Unto Others” is not just a cliche slogan for being nice. It is actually a radical, counter-cultural choice that led him to the Cross.

Every Sunday at 9:30
We worship together every Sunday morning from 9:30-10:30. There is usually coffee and some snacks available in the back of the sanctuary for people to enjoy after or during worship. We don’t have Sunday school in the summer, but it usually meets about 15 minutes after worship is over. The adults go up to Asbury Parlor, and kids start down in Epworth Hall (there are signs and helpful people will show you the way).
You are welcome to sit in the round tables in the back of the church or in the more traditional pews. There is also a children’s PRAYground near the front for kids to sit at tables that are their size. There are also activity bags available for kids as well as a “Nursing Room” if you would like to take little ones.
We call our worship style “Casual Traditional.” We sing hymns. There are musical offerings of piano, vocal solos, and our bell choir. The choir shares an anthem (except during their summer break). We have congregational prayers, and a very brief “passing the peace” moment.
The dress is varied. There might be a few people wearing ties, but there will also be some guys wearing t-shirts. Same thing with the ladies, for every dress and pumps, there are two people in jeans and a blouse.
Pastor Robb is an energetic preacher, who seldom remains behind the pulpit. The choir is lively, and shares rousing anthems, melodic spirituals, and introspective responses.

Our newly remodeled sanctuary includes a “Cafe Seating” section. These round tables, with coffee, water, and cookies nearby, offer a new way of experiencing worship. There are kids bulletins available. There is also a room adjacent to the sanctuary for parents with little ones that want a little more privacy. The room is furnished with a glider, a few activities for little ones, softer lighting, and a big window out to the worship space.
