Upcoming . . .

 Lent and Easter 2021 Our worship series will be “Cultivating and Letting Go” where we explore Lent as a season of spiritual gardening, inviting God to unearth in us what lies fallow, what needs to be tended, and what needs to die for new life to emerge.

We have resources available to accompany you during your Lenten journey. Please contact the church office for your Lent-in-a-Box packet, which includes a weekly devotional, a finger labyrinth, prayer beads, coloring pages, and seed paper crosses (which we’ll use in worship during Lent!)

Join us on Thursdays at 8:30 AM for Virtual “Prayer on the Porch” using Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals. Resource available at www.commonprayer.net. Meeting ID:  829 4346 0430
Password 20152020.

Also, save the date for two Visio Divina (or “divine seeing”) sessions – Tuesday, March 9th at 4 PM and Saturday, March 27th at 10 AM. Much how Lectio Divina invites us to hear God speaking to us through the words of Scripture, we pair Bible passages with artwork to consider where we’re encountering God. These will be held over Zoom - Meeting ID: 815 200 0968 (Passcode 20152020)​​

​Book Study Group:
Reading the Bible from the Margins by Miguel De La Torre.
​​This introduction to “liberation theology” focuses on how issues involving race, class, and gender influence our understanding of the Bible.  Describing how "standard" readings of the Bible are not always acceptable to people or groups on the "margins," this book offers valuable new insights into biblical texts today.  FMI, please contact Gloria Brown:  Email.
