EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

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. We might find that God is present in between. 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.*

THE SEASON OF LENT

The season of Lent is upon us. This time of self-examination, reflection, repentance, and prayer, when done in an intentional and purposeful way, leads to a more joyful celebration of Easter. We hope you will join us by participating in these three disciplines:

  1. Follow along in your Devotional Booklet (available in worship & at the “Get Connected” walls)

  2. Read through the Gospel of Luke

  3. Wear your wooden cross necklace & give it away if someone asks about it

SPOTIFY PLAYLIST:

LENT FAITH GROUPS

Faith Groups are a great opportunity to grow in your faith while forming new relationships! The season of Lent is often enriched by experiencing it alongside others. We will have two options for people looking to take part in a Lent Faith Group.

  1. Pastor Heather will lead a Lent Faith Group on Wednesday nights starting on March 12 at 6:30pm in Room 501. This group will work through materials from our lenten devotional.

  2. Many of our Adult Sunday School classes will be focusing on lenten curriculum on Sunday mornings at 10am. Contact Pastor Seungrok if you would like help finding the right Sunday School class for you!
