Where Are You From? - September 5, 2021
We are — each living beings — created and formed from the soil that surrounds us, from the land on which we walk, by the nutrients either rich or poor in the foods we eat.
We are patterned by our DNA — our genetic make-up given to us by our family lineage. We are both male and female, short and tall, brown-eyed and green-eyed or hazel-eyed or blue-eyed. We are dark-skinned or fair-skinned, short or tall based on that DNA and the region of the
Lightning, Risk, and Awe - August 15, 2021
Lightning, Risk, and Awe Rev Kim Poole Moscow First United Methodist Church Moscow ID August 15, 2021, When God chooses people to accomplish a task for God often the person chosen would not be the one you are I would pick to be our leader. God often chooses people that we would consider the least likely to succeed. There are two men in the old testament that God chose at the very beginning of the story of faith that I believe had to be chosen simply because God
Sermon Script - August 8, 2021
Last May, I was listening to a podcast called Dare to Lead by Brene Brown.
Her guest that day was Priya Parker. Who had written a book that I had read earlier in the year called the art of gathering, how we meet, and why it matters. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I enjoy most of them, learn something from most of them, and quickly move on to the next episode or next podcast. But this particular podcast episode. Was so impressive and so timely coming out of the 2020 pandemic pause that I
Our Baptismal Vows- August 1, 2021
Were any of you a member of the Boy Scouts? Did you advance from Cub to We-be-lo, and did you achieve the rank of Eagle Scout? Maybe you were a Camp Fire girl and moved from Blue Birds to Camp Fire to Horizon? Were you initiated into the National Honor Society in High School? Or did you pledge a fraternity or sorority in college?
In each of these cases, you probably were celebrated and initiated into a new standing or rank or membership and that ceremony may have been an important time in your life. It may have been the beginning of commitments that lasted a lifetime or just a year or two.
In the church, we have a ceremony of initiation into the family of God, into the community of faith. It is physically observed and sealed in our

Neighborhood Theatre Presents "Our Town"
Mark your calendars for Our Town, a benefit staged reading for Family Promise – May 3, 2pm!
Heralded as “the greatest American play ever written,” three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thornton Wilder’s Our Town shows us that even the most ordinary life, is an extraordinary thing indeed.
Synopsis: set in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners (a closeknit community much like our beloved Moscow) between 1901 and 1913, the play is divided into three acts: an ordinary day, a wedding, a death. The story follows two neighboring families, the Webbs and the Gibbs, and their children who grow up together, fall in love, and are married ‘until death do them part’ (act 3).
Please join us, The Neighborhood Theatre, for a staged reading of this thought-provoking and heartfelt classic. The production is FREE though donations are welcome with all proceeds benefiting Family Promise hosted at Moscow First United Methodist Church. Bonus: with any donation amount, folks will be entered into a raffle for a beautiful handmade quilt generously provided by local artisan Sue Anderson.
When & Where: Sunday, May 3, 2pm @ Moscow First United Methodist Church
Who’s invited: EVERYONE! ALL congregations that collaborate for Family Promise and any friends, family, neighbors, etc. are most welcome so please spread the word! This event is intended as a celebration of our work together and a show of gratitude to our Family Promise partners.
Please note… The whole event will last up to 3 hours. There will be two intermissions, including one longer break with light refreshments provided. While the script is appropriate for all ages, the length and complexity of topics (marriage; death) may be challenging for some younger viewers.
