Join us online this week for a service that reflects on the benefits and challenges of “Borders, Boundaries, and Limits,” one of the final pieces in our “Summer Patchwork.” This Sunday will be Janice Springer’s last Sunday for the summer at UCC Missoula. Join us during Zoom Coffee Hour to share thanks and good wishes with her.
Blessings to you and all you are holding this week,

Everything Changes
In our sermon series we are exploring how our brains were designed to be suspicious of change, and for good reason–homeostasis in good measure helps us thrive, protecting us from danger. But if we look closely at what the Creator set in motion, we find that change is the most constant part of life and necessary for animating our spirits as we find renewed purpose throughout life. Jesus advocated for changes that would keep us moving toward greater goodness! “Everything Changes” John 12:20-26 In our scripture this week Jesus asks us to let go of life “as it is” in order to create and multiply the love that is eternal. What feels like the chaos, or recklessness, of change is the breaking-open of possibility and the sprouting of new life. This is what it means to follow the change-maker Jesus and serve his purpose of more love in the world. -Pastor Courtney
