• Join Us for Lent and Easter 2025

  This Lent we are exploring the theme of everything [in] between – Meeting God in the midst of extremes.

  

  “This series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Each weekly sub-theme explores two supposed binaries, like “faith & works” or “rest & growth,” or “grief & hope.” We often consider these ideas to be opposing. However, as we explore these concepts within the scriptures, we find nuance and complexity. We find that these dichotomies are false. We might begin to see a full spectrum instead of black and white. We might find that God is present in between.

  And so, this season, we invite you to look beyond black and white binaries and easy answers. We encourage you to notice the dichotomies that define our lives, but also imagine where God might be meeting us beyond the categories we create. This theme may resonate with anyone who is in discernment or trying to find their way through an undefined space. It will speak to anyone who feels as if they are living in a divided world. It is for those who seek a spiritual life that engages with complexity instead of avoiding it. This Lent, we’re trusting that God shows up in shades of gray, rainbow hues, and everywhere in between.” – Sanctified Art

• Advent 2024

  

  Even as we are still ensnared by the implications of election results, by conflicts around the world, and by all that lies behind and ahead of us, we wait for Jesus.

  Click here to access our Advent Morning Prayer. We also have an Evening Prayer Service at 6 pm on Wednesdays – November 13, 20, 27 (online only), Dec 4, 11, and 18. You may also join via Zoom.

  This year, we are supplementing our Advent resources with liturgy and poetry from Sanctified Art, How does a weary world rejoice? Here is an introduction from their team:

  Christ was born into a weary world. King Herod ruled the land
  with a legacy of ruthlessness. The Romans treated the people of
  Israel with contempt, imposing harsh taxes and land seizures that
  forced many into subsistence farming. Poverty and destitution were
  pervasive. And yet, Christ was born, bringing good news of great joy
  for all people.
  
  This season, we invite you to look closely…. Discover where joy is
  sprinkled throughout the narrative. Identify the moments when joy
  arrives—despite trepidation, fear, or grief. And consider how joy can
  be a companion to you this season, for our joy is rooted in the truth
  that we belong to God. Can you tether yourself to that deep truth?
  You deserve to feel joy—fully. The world needs your joy, even if you
  are weary.

  What is contributing to your weariness right now? Where are you finding joy as we enter the Advent season? How can you tether yourself to the truth that we belong to God?
