The Cup of Freedom
April 27 - June 8, 2025
When death seems final and rising feels impossible, we turn to the power of love and life. We lift the cup of freedom offered by Jesus, call on the name of the One who is truly Sovereign, and claim the freedom to move forward — to sing, to follow, to rise again, to love, to heal, and to be opened. In the end, we are filled with the Spirit’s freedom, overflowing with new life and hope.
Purveyors of Awe
March 9 - April 20, 2025
Awe is a profound emotional response that significantly impacts our wellbeing and perception of the world. Awe often arises from experiences that transcend our usual understanding, such as viewing vast landscapes, listening to powerful music, encountering extraordinary acts of kindsness, or feeling heightened devotion and a Divine Presence connecting us all. To be a “Purveyor of Awe” is to be intentional about curating a life of spiritual depth. This Lent we will look at the world with “Awe!”
Discipleship by the Sea
January 5 - February 23, 2025
Join us as we set sail on a brand-new worship series all about boats, water, and the exciting journey of discipleship! Get ready to embark on an adventure where we’ll explore what it means to follow Jesus, just like the first disciples who set out on the waters with Him. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just starting to dip your toes in, this series will take us on a thrilling voyage of faith, trust, and discovery. Let’s dive in together!
On the Way to Bethlehem
Advent/Christmas 2024
This Advent season, pay attention not just to the destination of Christmas but also to the places where events occurred that led to a starry night on which a child was born who would change the world. We hope you will join our church family for this wonderful Advent journey!
Join us on Christmas Eve at 6:30 PM.
Do Unto Others
October 13 - November 10, 2024
Our world seems to be consumed with division—often typified in the colors red and blue. Rather than stay in our monochromatic silos, the Golden Rule in scripture challenges us to engage in conversation and seek to create whatever common good we can with our relatives, friends, and neighbors who we might consider to be on the “other side” politically and ideologically.
Let us discover the beauty that can be created when we work together to make the world a better place. The “purple space” is where we cultivate kindness, compassion, humility, respect, and love for one another and for the good of all the world, no matter what.
Prophecies and Pottery:
Journey with Jeremiah
August 4 - September 11, 2024
Our faith story invites us to deal openly and honestly with things that are part of our human story: heartache, displacement, violence, helplessness, and homesickness. Join us as we journey with Jeremiah during a time of exile and enounter the familiar image of God as the Potter who can reshape and remake us, making us vessels of living water ready for tomorrow.
QUEST: The Awakened Traveler
July 7 - 28, 2024
Whether you travel far away or see your local surroundings as if for the first time, pilgrimage has long been a spiritual practice, and “journey” a deeply-felt metaphor for our spiritual lives. “Quest” comes from the Latin root meaning “ask, seek.” Join us for this four week worship series that will encourage us to open ourselves more fully to the curiosity and wonder, reflection and transformation that travelers — not merely tourists — experience when they choose to immerse themselves in soul-widening adventures.
