All this week we invite you to join us as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the Easter season coming, through a daily gathering (online or in-person, live or asynchronously) to worship, reflect, pray, and practice together as we walk through some of the experiences of Holy Week.
Monday
Jesus Flips The Tables
Click Here to join us on our YouTube channel live at 7:30-8:00am - or anytime later throughout the day.
Today we will walk through a reflection of what is holding ‘holy space’ in our lives, and ask ourselves whether anything has taken up residence where only God is meant to be.
Tuesday
The Olivet Discourse
Click Here to join us on our YouTube channel live at 7:30-8:00am - or anytime later throughout the day.
Today after spending some time reflecting on some of Jesus' most important words, we will participate in a breath prayer in order to help remind us that we receive Jesus through the Holy Spirit - who is as close as the breath in our lungs.
Wednesday
Jesus Anointed At Bethany

Today we will reflect on the significance of Mary's anointing of Jesus at Bethany – we will be led through our own spiritual practice of extravagant love.
Thursday
Maundy Thursday

Friday
Good Friday Worship Service
Today we hope you will join us at 10:30am at any of our three locations for a time of Worship and Communion and space to reflect together on the impact of Jesus' act of love demonstrated on the cross. If you cannot attend in person, Click Here for the online experience.
And don't forget to mark your calendars for the Holy Saturday hike happening tomorrow morning at Rockway Conservation Area, 8:30am.
Saturday
Holy Saturday Hike
Our practice this day will be an active one – a one-hour contemplative hike embracing elements of both lament and waiting – as we allow our hearts to soften into the full experience of the bittersweetness of “already and not yet.” Family-friendly, everyone is welcome!
