Enchanted: Living in a One-Story Universe? w/ Steve Van Atta
What's your response to this statement from Orthodox priest Stephen Freeman?
We live here on earth, the first floor, where things are simply things and everything operates according to normal, natural laws, while God lives in heaven, upstairs, and is largely removed from the story in which we live.
Do you disagree and laugh it off? Agree? Or, land somewhere in between?
Freeman's assertion is one we'll consider Sunday morning, when we look at how our view of reality colors everything - including how we see God, ourselves, and others. Whether we know it or not, we tend to see ourselves as in either a one-story world [where God is always here among us, always revealing and advancing the Kingdom] or a two-story model [where God is an occasional presence, but we're more or less on our own].
See you soon,
Steve

HSPC Youth - Fall Kickoff
Sept 24 – Fall Kickoff Night @ HSPC
Time: 5:30–7:30 PM
Location: Harrison Square Youth Room
What’s Happening:
We’re launching our new youth room and the start of a new season together! The evening will include:
Dinner (comfort food + easy favorites)
Big group games to break the ice and have fun
Worship and a short message: “What Is This All About?”
Small groups to get to know each other and talk about the year ahead
An invitation for students to dream with us about the kind of group this can become
Middle and high school students are welcome, and friends are encouraged to join. While our main focus is grades 6–12, we know our group is still growing and includes some younger students. If your child is in 4th or 5th grade, they are more than welcome to participate at this stage. If you have any questions or need clarification, feel free to reach out.
We’ll be sending out a Parent Consent & Safety Form in the next week or two. This will help us keep everyone safe and cared for throughout the year, so please look out for that and return it before the next event.

Enchanted: Glory in the Wilderness w/ Matt Myers
This week in our sermon series we turn to Exodus 16. Israel is learning to walk with God, and much of that walking looks ordinary - hunger, complaint, a wilderness that feels empty. Into that place the Lord gives manna: not spectacle, just daily bread. Enough for today. We’ll linger with this story and consider how God heals a people - not by hurry or excess, but by presence, limits, and Sabbath. Looking forward to seeing you all this Sunday!
Warmly,
Matt

Enchanted: Come and See w/ Mark McHugh
I can’t wait to be back with ya’ll on Sunday and to hear more about your “Summer of Renewal”. But truly, that, I’m just so excited to see each of you, as I have really missed being with you over the past three months.
This Sunday, we’ll start a new series called “Enchanted” as we look at John 1:43-51 and the call of Nathaniel. To live enchanted runs counter to the world we live in. Join us Sunday as we learn together how to pay attention and to participate in what Jesus is up to all around us, even right now.
With deep love,
Mark
