Worship Services on Luke

March 8, 2026 — 9:00 AM Service | ‘Loving Our Neighbor in Divided Times’

Pastor Peter reflects on the Good Samaritan and a viral story about a lonely monkey named Punch to illustrate how compassion often appears from unexpected people and places.

Ultimately, he urges the congregation to embody mercy and love in a divided world, just as God consistently shows such compassion toward us.

This week’s message from Luke 1:46-55 reminded us that Mary’s Magnificat is more than a song of praise—it is a declaration of hope and resistance in a weary world.
