Rev. Molly Shoulta Tucker, Preaching
On Sunday, August 14, we kickstarted a new series coinciding with the beginning of school called, “Crash Course” that will coincide with our Wednesday night Book Study on Rob Bell’s “What Is the Bible?” Maybe the Bible has been a mystery to you. Maybe you feel like you don’t know enough about it to really understand it. Maybe you’ve never read it. Maybe you’ve had the Bible used against you because of your gender, your sexuality, or your race or ethnicity. First, as a Pastor, and someone who really didn’t come to love scripture until I was in seminary, I’m sorry if it’s ever been used to express anything else than how much God loves you. In our children’s moment on August 14, we talked about how there are 66 books in the Bible, many chapters within those, and verses within all of those but there is one main thing it teaches us, and it was a song we’ve known our whole lives, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” Here’s Crash Course #1, “What the Bible is not, What the Bible is, and what I hope the Bible will be for you.”

Welcome to Ridgewood!
As a progressive congregation, we believe that the God who created the universe, as told through the poetry of Genesis, created human beings out of a place of Love. As scripture tells us in 1 John 4:8, "God is Love." This is our starting point as individuals, a community, and a world.
In other words, all of God's creatures and all God's people are wonderfully and fearfully made, reflecting the diverse and eccentric Image of God - individually and collectively. No race, gender, or sexuality stands superior to another.
