Is There Such A Thing As Good Grief?, with Rev. Dr. Steven Koski. Series: Questions A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon.
Is there such a thing as good grief? What shouldn’t you say to someone who is grieving? As a people, one of the things we hold most in common, are tears, and the weight of grief. Join us as we turn to the Hebrew Scriptures, and the beautiful book of Ruth, for wisdom, and how we might carry the weight of our grief, with resilience, and grace.
About the Series, Questions: Abraham Heschel said we are closer to God when we are asking and wrestling with questions than when we think we have all the answers. This summer we will center our worship faithfully engaging and responding to the questions you submitted as best we can.
Join us each Sunday, 10AM at bendfp.org, or 11AM KTVZ-CW Channel 612/12 in Bend. Subscribe/Follow, and click the bell for alerts.
At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.
We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.

Is It Possible To Heal What Divides Us?, with Rev. Dr. Steven Koski. Series: Questions A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: 2 Cor. 5; Mark 4.35-41.
This Sunday’s question is how can we heal the deep divisions and polarization in our society in our country. We’re going to read the story of Jesus with the disciples in a boat on the lake in the midst of a storm. Is it possible we missed something really important in that story? Possibly the key to breaking down the walls of hostility that divide us.

What do I have to believe to be a Christian might be a loaded question these days. Is there a checklist of beliefs one must believe to be a Christian? Or, is it more about the way one lives life?
