The Beatitudes, and Beyond: "Arise!"
Sermon, 7/4/10: Sermon on the Mount (1 of 6).  “Blessed are …” These opening words of Jesus’ collected teachings– repeated eightfold – in Matthew offer comfort to his audience in a passive way … according to the Greek. What about the equivalent in J…

What does the Fourth have in common with the Sermon on the Mount -- & vice versa? Perhaps it has something to do with standing up against tyranny & idolatry. "The Beatitudes, and Beyond: 'Arise!'" is the message for tomorrow (Matthew 5:1-16). Come j…

With Faces Set
For … 6/27/10 (Pentecost 6). We at BPC have the outline of a vision: “Personal, Passionate, Progressive”. And scripture makes clear our purpose: outreach, outreach, outreach. Clear on both and with faces set outward, we can face and transform our fi…

Father God or Fatherland: "What Is Your Name?"
Sermon, 6/20/10 (Pentecost 5). “What is your name?” Jesus asked the entombed man possessed by “demons”. “My names is Legion”, was the reply – the Roman Legion. Could not a similar voice be vying to name us today, when Christ is calling us otherwise?…

This Sunday's Worship (7/11): Sermon on the Mount continues!

7/4: Sermon on the Mount series begins!

What does the Fourth have in common with the Sermon on the Mount? Think tyranny & idolatry, and standing up against them. "The Beatitudes and Beyond: 'Arise!'" is the message for tomorrow (Matthew 5:1-16). Come join us in our Communion celebration, beginning at 10!

Our New Statement of Welcome!

Opposite on this page, you will note our brief, clear Statement of Welcome approved on June 15 by our Session (church board). Most mainline Protestant churches such as our own -- never exempt from the human condition -- have played a particularly bigoted role in rejecting our lesbian, gay, bisexual, & transgender sisters & brothers from full participation in our congregations. We at BPC -- noted for our personal hospitality to all -- feel it our faithful responsibility to counter such an… Continue
