Meeting Jesus At The Table: A Lenten Study for All Pilgrims

Our Sunday worship during lent will explore the stories of Jesus sharing meals with people, using this fabulous new study guide "Meeting Jesus at the Table." This short book includes reflections, questions, and illustrations that we'll discuss in bible study and in worship.

If you'd like a copy of the book, so you can read the chapter before worship, we'd love to order one for you. They're $12 each, but if money is a concern please don't let that stop you. If you'd like to reserve your copy, please email Jess and let her know. If you'd like to pay for one (or to pay for an extra for someone else) you can do so on our website. You can pick up you copy after worship on Sundays.

We're looking forward to exploring with you!

It's Soup Time! (Feb. 9th)

Come make soup for hungry neighbors. Every Sunday we serve a meal to share with hungry neighbors. On Thursday, Feb. 9th at 5:30pm we’ll make a bunch of soups to freeze and share for the next few weeks. We’ll provide all the supplies, you just show up read to chop, dice, and stew! See you there!

Issues Among Us- January 21st

Join us on Saturday January 21st at 11am at the Smithsonian's Museum of African American History and Culture as we will visit their new exhibition, Spirit in the Dark: Religion in Black Music, Activism and Popular Culture. After we view the exhibit, we'll gather either outside (weather permitting) or in the cafeteria for discussion. We have already secured tickets for 25 people to come and join us at the museum, so please RSVP to Pastor Erin and let her know if you plan to come.

This is part of our Issues Among Us Series where we go out into the community to learn from experts about the issues among us, then gather to discuss and pray over what we learned. We aim to put our faith in conversation with the problems in our community, and pray together to discern how we are called to respond. Each month we'll learn about, pray through, and act on a different issue. Click here to learn more about this series and to check out where we’ve been learning this fall.
