Rev. Tom Hathaway - May 11, 2025
Survival of the Connected
What do a grove of ancient aspen trees in Utah and the early Christian church have in common? More than you might think. In this sermon, Rev. Tom explores how both Pando—a single living organism disguised as a forest—and the early church grew strong through radical connection and shared resources. Far from a feel-good fantasy, this kind of generosity was strange, even scandalous, in its time. But it was also magnetic. If you're longing for a faith community that survives not by hoarding but by holding on to one another—this one's for you.

From Series: "Heart for the House"
Heart for the House is a series about what happens when we align our hearts with God’s hopes for the world — and choose to invest in a church that lives those hopes out loud. It’s about more than just money; it’s about trust, love, and the kind of generosity that fuels real ministry. Together, we’ll explore how our gifts — financial and otherwise — help build a community where compassion grows, justice takes root, and people encounter the love of God in tangible ways.
