Join us as we hear and explore powerful stories of courage, kindness, strength, and overcoming — Resurrection Stories! These stories might inspire you to unlock your own resurrection even now!

We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility–climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to ever-more-likable social media accounts. What if we stopped climbing and started fertilizing, watering, and blooming right where we find ourselves? Welcome to a Lent of affirming a faith in which we are blessed, regardless, and where we can lean into embracing our “good enough” lives.

The Christmas season is a time when the juxtaposition of the sacred and secular feels sometimes blatantly opposed, and sometimes quite blurred. You are invited to a spiritual journey of seeing all things pregnant with the Holy.

Movin from a theology of scarcity to one of abundance.

The sense that there is not enough drives greed, fear, and exclusionary behavior. Let us “Move Out of Scare City” and travel to the vast, open habitats of God’s grace.

Drawn In God created the heavens and the earth... and called it all good!

Butterflies are a long-standing symbol of resurrection. This series starts with the caterpillar and chrysalis — the beginning of the journey of transformation — and affirms the darkness as good for birthing new things. The theme moves slowly over the weeks, allowing us to think in incremental steps about what we can learn spiritually from the process of the butterfly forming, cracking its chrysalis, pushing outward, hanging to let wings dry, letting go, and finally daring to fly. Along the way, various stories of faith help us see how God’s people have always been dealing with transformation and issues of fear, trust, and letting go. We’re all human, after all, and transformation is inevitable. May this series point us toward the assurance that we are never alone in this journey

Each of us is created a precious and holy vessel of embodied love; sometimes we become shattered. The healing narratives of Jesus tell of divine solidarity with human suffering and remind us that we can begin a journey toward making something beautiful from that which is seemingly broken.

The new year brings opportunities to move beyond our limitations to find new beginnings and be better than we were before.
