Join us for the First Sunday of Lent this coming Sunday.
During Lent, we’ll work on a collaborative ongoing weaving project for the nave led by Cathy Sterling and Tinnin Leskera.
Cathy will join Godly Play this week with our kids to introduce the project and begin to weave with children. This tree branch hanging in the Nave forms the foundation of what we will create together throughout the forty days of Lent.
What do you love? 

It's a Jesus question. 

It's the kind of question that is meant to hook us back up to the fact that
we are all made in the image of a wildly creative, passionate and loving God. 

It's a question that can restore us in the image of God - recreate us - 
help us remember who we are under there...not what we DO.    

What do you love?
It's a Lenten question too.

In the Gospels, Jesus meets lots of strangers but his opening line is never,
"What do you do?" 
The Jesus questions are far more interesting.  
Jesus opts for these unexpected zingers:

What do you think?
Who are you looking for?
What do you want me to do for you?
With what can we compare the Kingdom of God?
Why are you crying?
Why are you sleeping?
Why are you so afraid?

Jesus asks questions that tease out the raw and holy inside us. 
Jesus is completely uninterested in the externals.
We students of Jesus are trying to learn how to ask like he did.
We are trying to learn to let go of the externals and get on to the good stuff - 
the questions that lead us out toward

truth         conversation (conversion)           and transformation.  

In these weeks of Lent, we will be taking up the Jesus questions intentionally as an entire community. What kind of transformation is happening – for all of us?

As your pastor, I give thanks to God for every one of you and for the ways that you bring the presence of Christ into our midst. And I give thanks to God for the ministry that we share and all that God will show us together in the days to come.

See you Sunday!

Community Circle
Sundays, 8:45a in Casey Hall

Join us every Sunday for a time of fellowship and exploration. 
Each week a different member of our community will bring a different topic and then make space for conversation and sharing as together we encourage one another in the life of faith.

During the Season of Lent, we will continue reading together a wonderful book entitled,
“The Whole Language” by Gregory Boyle. It is available from online booksellers in hardcopy and electronic formats. Join us as we journey together through this provocative and challenging book. We will use this book as catalyst for our community-wide listening for where God will lead us in the coming days.
We warmly invite you to journey with us for what promises to be a very rich opportunity for spiritual growth and new relationships. Childcare will be available. All are very welcome.
Practicing Compassion
with all your Heart, Soul, Strength and Mind

Lent is a time for introspection and self reflection,
a time to reflect on the core of what it means to live a Christian life in the midst of great change and uncertainty. When facing change and uncertainty, practicing compassion becomes more central to that life so that we are freer to both receive and share the healing love of God.

We invite you to pick up a copy of this wonderful Lenten daily resource as together we journey through the season of Lent toward more health and wholeness.
Copies are available in the Narthex (back of the church).
Godly Play
Children’s Ministry every Sunday, 9:50a

Our children gather in the Loft upstairs from the narthex (church lobby) for a time of exploration and wonder called “Godly Play.” Parents and guardians are invited to sign in upstairs and children rejoin their families during the Offertory. 

During Lent, we’ll work on a collaborative ongoing weaving project for the nave led by Cathy Sterling and Tinnin Leskera. Cathy will join Godly Play this week to introduce the project and weave with children and Tinnin will join us March 26 to introduce another part of the project. Families are welcome to stay and participate with the children! Many thanks to Pikes Peak Weavers Guild for donating the yarn.

If your children haven’t joined us yet, they are most welcome, and we look forward to meeting and getting to know them.
