Oct 18th - What Is My Cross to Bear?, with Rev. Barry Heath. A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: Matt. 16. 21-24.
Those carrying unexpected hardships often wonder if there’s a different way to understand pain. This week’s message offers a fresh view of the cross, not as a symbol of empire’s power, but as a source of hope and strength in the midst of life’s burdens. It invites listeners to discover how true identity and compassion can reshape suffering. Join First Presbyterian Church online or in person this Sunday to explore this hopeful perspective.

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.
We call this kind of faith "Spacious Christianity." We don't ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
