Seeing the Sign – March 29, 2026

March 29, 2026

Ben Kreider preaching at RMC on March 29, 2026

Scripture: John 12:12-27, 19:16b-22 Ben Rudeen Kreider, pastor at Chapel Hill Mennonite Fellowship, provided the message on this Palm Sunday. From the ubiquitous Buc-ee’s billboards to the variety of incredibly creative signs seen at yesterday’s No Kings rallies, signs are everywhere. A good sign grabs your attention in a short phrase with what a movement […]

Well-Intentioned People Gone Amuck – March 22, 2026

March 22, 2026

A woodcut image in black with yellow background of Jesus standing in front of Pilate who is washing his hands in a basin held up by a servant.

Scripture: John 19:1-16b On this fifth Sunday of Lent, we continue the story of Jesus before Pontius Pilate. Through lots of questioning Jesus is mum. When Pilate gets quite frustrated and asks if Jesus is not aware that he has the power to release Jesus or to have him crucified, Jesus answers, “You have no […]

Clash of Kings – March 15, 2026

March 15, 2026

Scripture: John 18:28-40 There are so many points of reference for our lives today in this story of Jesus before Pilate that Susan spoke about on this fourth Sunday of Lent. Pilate was a politician, not a statesman, not a leader, but a politician. To Pilate, truth was something to manipulate. The dissonance between Pilate […]

The dissonance of our lives – March 8, 2026

March 8, 2026

Seth preaching in front of a banner showing a flower emerging from a bulb.

Scripture: John 18:12-27 Seth brought the message on this third Sunday of Lent. We find Peter, the beloved disciple of Jesus, at probably one of the worst times of his life, denying he knew Jesus when he swore he wouldn’t. But this story isn’t so much about Peter as it is about us. We all, […]

Happy Holy Humor Sunday from Raleigh Mennonite! A Happy Holy Humor Sunday from Raleigh Mennonite! A favorite tradition of our kids (and kids at heart), Holy Humor Sunday is a day to celebrate JOY and the joke Jesus played on the devil with the empty tomb after death and empire thought they had won. 

We were also joyful to have @pastortrey05 with us again this week and grateful for his reminder to let whimsy and awe shape our faith. Looking forward to having you with us every week in just a few short months!
