Pleasant Hill Community Church, UCC

Pastor Houston, the interm Pastor of Pleasant Hill Community Church has announced his Sermon Series for March 6 – April 10 Spirituality and the Twelve Steps. Using Richard Rohr ’s book Breathing Underwater as a foundation, Pastor Houston will lead our thoughts on how “The 12 steps” is a spiritual tool to help in your own personal transformation. “The deepest and most important spiritual lessons I (have) ever learned came from a circle of drunks, fighting desperately not to drink today, whom I initially viewed as low-life, losers, and who ultimately came to be, for me, the oracles of God. The Twelve steps in no way diminished my appreciation for the gospel of Jesus Christ – quite the contrary- I am more convinced than ever of the reality of the gospel story.” — A quote from a 12 step movement member in A People’s History of Christianity , by Diana Butler Bass The Pleasant Hill Community Church is located at 67 Church Drive, Pleasant Hill, TN.  The church is a congregati...

The new crescent bed surrounding the circle will be a beautiful native flower garden, where we can feel closer to nature, get our hands in the dirt, and experience being direct caretakers of creation. It’s also a place where we can learn about the impact of native plants. Native plant populations are decreasing which impacts the local environment. Local insects and birds are dwindling as do our native plants. Just as we have impacted nature with planting non-native plants, we can revserse the harm through the project of Homegrown National Park has proven how this can work. In addition to the Memorical Garden Native plantings, team members will be adding small plots of native plants, throughout the Uplands and Pleasant Hill communitities. The insects and birds will fly from plot to plot, wildlife will be sustained and biodiversity flourish. For information on how y...
