What is it that pulls so many of us to a Christmas Eve service, even if we are nonbelievers or haven’t stepped foot in a church since our cousin’s wedding in 2019?Susan Moeller

Do you ever wish you could go back and experience Christmas through the eyes of a child? The wonder, the sleepless excitement, the cherished traditions... and not having to wrap a single gift! As we grow older, it’s easy for the magic of Christmas to fade. The story can feel overly familiar. Even if you didn’t grow up attending church, you’ve proba…

A Christmas celebration is for everyone... but when you add children to the story, it gets even better (and harder). And this Sunday we’ve added the children into the celebration. We’ve told you the story of Christmas, we’ve uncovered some surprising gifts for families, and yes, we did party after! First time listening to our podcast? We’d like to …

With all the ongoing controversy about whether a machine gun range should be built on the Upper Cape, it seems fitting to go back in time and revisit some history that in retrospect seems all but impossible, but true:Cape Cod once was home to an arsenal of nuclear weapons, 56 bombs located about 600 feet from a residential subdivision, in what was …

A part of the joy of Christmas is the element of surprise. Under the tree, a collection of bags and boxes sits neatly (or sometimes not so neatly) wrapped. Surprise is an essential part of the story. It has been that way since the very beginning. Christmas itself is a surprise. We often expect one thing when searching for life's answers, yet Jesus …

I am a genuine birder but a somewhat old and lazy one, with limited ability and ancient binoculars. I have some idea what is out there- soaring, skulking, or flitting about- but it is woefully incomplete compared to the information possessed by the array of gifted and obsessed observers that roam the Cape on a regular basis with powerful optics and…

Be Full Wrapped Up with...A Celebration! These past weeks have been encouraging reminders of how God is at work and how we can be a part—and, how full that makes life. This Sunday, we wrapped it all up with a trip both across the street and around the world. Two very different places with one thing in common...they are both full of people God loves…

The dark comes early. At first, I fought it. Disoriented, dazed. And doesn’t it feel like midnight, the moon pooling on the ocean, spilt milk reaching for the shore? At least the clock in the stove, the one I cannot figure out how to reset, is right again.Mary Bergman

We've talked about the promise of the future, the promise of "over/under-responding," and the promise of a God who will fill our lives. We're concluding with a promise for unpacking our baggage, moving on from hurt, and discovering a key to fresh beginnings. We all carry wounds that can sometimes sabotage our relationships. Join us to learn how to …

They appeared suddenly one night on our patio, four young raccoons, a quartet of rumble-tumble trouble. They pressed their little bandit faces against our glass sliders, scratching to get inside our tiny cottage.Tom Moroney

I always feel bad for Superman… so much strength and yet, a simple rock of kryptonite nearly would ruin him! Kryptonite, a fictitious rock has become the cultural metaphor we all know, and probably need. What’s your kryptonite? Gideon is about to find out, and it’s a familiar story that doesn’t end well. The Bible has its own word for kryptonite (H…

Every hero has a superpower, which is what makes them, well, "Super." Perhaps you played a game as a child, "If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" Maybe you imagined flying, controlling the weather, or possessing that "man of steel" strength. You get the idea. In real life, there's an often overlooked superpower, and I bet you know p…

Oxford University Press declared it the word of the year… and it’s not even a word, not really. Rizz … yep, that’s it—Rizz! If you’re unsure what I am talking about, find your closest Gen Z friend and catch up. Rizz is the colloquial next-gen term for Charisma (but don’t try this out in public). If you’re over 30, or any age, ...it’s hard to pull o…

Who was your favorite superhero as a child? And what were their superpowers? Every hero has unique abilities that make them extraordinary. While Superman might not be walking through your door, you are. What the world needs now isn't a superhero, but it might be for someone reading this. There's an ancient book of heroes, often overlooked (I'll exp…

Last Sunday, many of us gathered at the beach after church to celebrate the baptism of 58 people as they publicly proclaimed their faith in Jesus! It was a beautiful day filled with cheering, tears of joy, and laughter. With over 100 people there to celebrate with us, it was truly a community event. "Community" is a word we use a lot at church—most…

I was leading a tour out in ’Sconset the Thursday before Labor Day when a local eyed us warily and said, “Summer’s over, it’s time for you people to leave.” Ouch! Now Labor Day has come and gone, the curtain falling on summer.Mary Bergman
