Finding God in the Flames: Campfire Stories from the Bible
This six-week sermon series offers a light-hearted tour of some of the great fire stories of the Bible. From the burning bush to the breakfast on the beach, each story reveals a bit more of the live-giving light (and heat) of God.
June 8th
Tongues of Fire
Like fire, the Holy Spirit is contradictory–wild and cozy, creative and destructive, everyday and extraordinary, domesticated and purely elemental. The fire of Pentecost urges us to broaden our view of how God acts in the world.
June 15th
The Burning Bush
God is not a logic puzzle to be explained but an impossible mystery to be experienced, a source of life, power, and wonder.
June 22nd
Eternal Flame
How are we keeping the fire alive in our congregations and
worship?
June 29th
Denial by Firelight
by Kathy Selzer, Certified Lay Servant
Jesus’ command to never hide his lamp under a bushel, Peter denies knowing Jesus not once but three times. This is a great opportunity to explore how our hearts grow cold from loyalty to Christ, and to ask ourselves what campfire company we keep.
July 6th
The Fiery Furnace
We often aim this story at children, it’s a great chance to talk to adults too about the weapons wielded by the powers of the world–fear, destruction, egoism, and assimilation–and how God is stronger than these. Do we have the courage of Daniel and his companions to stand up to evil in the world?
July 13th
Campfire on the Beach
The disciples have gone back to fishing (for fish, not people), but Jesus makes himself known to them in a miracle of abundance and a breakfast of bread and fish for his disciples.

We believe God calls us to pursue him just as we are, inside and out, so we nurture
an engaging, relaxed, and an inviting atmosphere.

The United Methodist Church, including College Park, practices open communion.
All are welcome to the Lord’s Table. You do not need to be a member of or any to
receive Communion. There are no age requirements – children are invited to take
Communion if the parents wish, and they need not have been confirmed. There
will be liturgy that is call and response, bread will be broken, grape juice shared to
all who wish to receive.
