Easter at Midcurrent was so special this year. So let me say THANK YOU to each of you who joined us. You truly were a part of a historical Sunday at Midcurrent. For starters, you were there to take part in a celebration of the greatest event in the history of...
We can’t wait to celebrate Easter at Midcurrent and would be thrilled to have you join us on April 9 at 9:00 or 10:30. We know walking through the doors of a church can be intimidating, which is why just about everything we do is designed with you, our guest,...
I’m certain that you’ve heard us say it before, but the ONE thing we are all about is creating spaces for real people and a real God to meet. We truly hope Midcurrent is a meeting place for you and God every time you walk through our front door. At...
Hey friends, As I reflect on this past year, I am truly in awe of all that God has done within this place that we call Midcurrent! Each year in our short five year history has been significant, but there is no denying it–2022 was special. We saw continued growth at a time when church growth...
Hey Midcurrent, The next 30 days include some of the most anticipated days of the entire year. And I want to make sure you know what those special days will look like here at Midcurrent. So let me fill you in on three dates. 1. December 23–Christmas Eve Eve. You...
Hey Midcurrent! In his message on Sunday, Pastor Sten said that we can be completely surrounded by people, and still feel lonely. Have you ever found that to be true? I know I have. No matter what season or walk of life we find ourselves in, all of us have the desire to...
Hey Midcurrent! If I had to guess, I’d say most of you are asking the very same question right now. When do we move into the new building? Am I right? Is this not the ONE thing you really want to know? Well, I am excited to rollout for you...
Pastor Sten hit it out of the park again this week. He taught us more about the events of the first Easter weekend and made such a helpful parallel for us to understand about our own lives. The Saturday between Jesus’ crucifixion and his resurrection was relatively uneventful. As Sten...
Hey Midcurrent, I’m writing to you today regarding a significant milestone in our life as a church. This June, Midcurrent will be officially welcomed as a full standing, member congregation of the Evangelical Covenant Church! So then, you might ask, what exactly have we been for the last four years??...
A reflection on Sunday’s message: Recently at Midcurrent, we’ve been talking about “Seizing Your Divine Moment”. The 6 weeks of this series are helping me understand more deeply about the times I have asked for God’s guidance in a decision. Often, it’s when I’ve felt weary and unsure of where...
At our Christmas Eve Eve services we shared a video letting everyone know just what our Christmas wish is this year!
I recently read a question that helped me label something that I didn’t know was missing a label. We all know that some labels are superfluous and can make things complicated, but this one sunk in for a few days and has really helped: “Do you have a rich inner...
Incorruptibility. Read that again. I can’t say it’s a word I’ve pondered before, but wow— what magnitude. This Sunday, Pastor Sten helped us consider the real role of integrity in our lives, and most of all, its role when it is inconvenient and it will certainly cost us in some...
My littlest human turns 5 tomorrow. Baby & toddlerhood have walked through my house & shown themselves out. I am not honest if I tell you this doesn’t hit, though it’s a smaller Mack truck than I’d planned. So that’s nice. One thing I will miss, besides chubby feet &...
It’s like a Ferris wheel, really. The line to ride never ends: Dental visits, soccer schedules, what my sister-in-law thought of the unfinished trim in the dining room, mama failure. (& all this before I got out of bed this morning.) Unfriendly passengers stepping one at a time into my...
We just wrapped up a message series called Dangerous Prayers: 1. Search Me 2. Break Me and 3. Send Me. The second one got to me – here are my thoughts. “God purifies hearts.” ~Proverbs 17:3. I would rather He not; let’s be honest. I am comfortable where I am. ...
Last week in church, we talked about the fruit of the spirit and Jill shared her thoughts: I don’t have a good relationship with the Fruits of the Spirit. Or, I should say, I grew up with them, went to college for them, & choke on them now & again. ...
On Sunday, Sten said these words: “The way of Jesus isn’t always the easy way, but we follow it anyway.” I thought maybe if we could keep reminding ourselves how very ordinary the way of Jesus is, we could make things less hard for our worn out selves. (Here’s hoping.)...
When you walk through the doors of Midcurrent Church, there’s something different in the air. It’s a sense of feeling welcome. A sense of acceptance. A sense of belonging. Midcurrent’s vision, after all, is to be a place where real people and a real God meet. But does that notion...
On Sunday, Brian had us sing about waiting on God, & Sten talked about believing God for impossible things. This is what came of that mash-up. This. Is. Impossible. I can still see it in my 9-year-old brain, Alice standing on the squares of a giant chessboard with the White...
This week, we talked about the Bible…these are my thoughts! -Jill We’ve gotten pretty good at flashlights at our house. The structure is old, where we live. 80+ years. Which means outlets aren’t excessive, so neither are lamps. Which means when the little ones head upstairs at bedtime, they are...
This week we talked about doors. Especially, the ones we find ourselves locked behind- fear, pride, addiction, comparison, anxiety. Because of what Jesus did on the cross, the door has been unlocked. So why is it so hard to walk through sometimes? Jill Britz shared her thoughts. I can’t remember...
We’ve learned a lot walking through the Art of Neighboring message series….mainly, the BLESS acronym: Begin with prayer. Listen well. Eat together. And this last week, we talked about what it means to Serve. Jill Britz shared her thoughts with us… I’d Rather Not, Thanks. Maybe “serve” isn’t a wrecked...
