As we celebrate this day, fill our hearts with joy and our lives with the power of his resurrection. Help us to live as Easter people, sharing the good news of Christ’s victory over death. Let the light of the risen Christ shine through us, bringing hope and love to the world. In the strong name of the risen Christ, we pray.

Stories of unlikable characters. Stories of everyday encounters. Stories with preposterous implications.

This year we return to the most scandalous stories Jesus told — those we’ve come to call his parables of grace.

In this series, we journey through Paul's letter to the Ephesians, uncovering the profound "If/Then" truths woven throughout its message. Paul reminds us that if we genuinely grasp who we are—beloved, chosen, and redeemed—then our lives naturally transform.

Counterintuitive as it may seem, creativity for its own sake, including a creative practice that’s just for you, will draw you closer to God who created all and called it “good.” We hope new sparks fly out from there as we consider creativity in technology, spirit, and relationships. 

It’s a striking feature of the scriptures that, as the story of Jesus’ birth unfolds, key characters sometimes burst into song.

Has it been a while since you read the story of Abraham and Sarah? A quick flip through Genesis 12-25 reminds you of the zigzagging steps they take to be faithful to God’s promises. 

What anchors us as a community? We embrace intellectual honesty, cultivating a safe space where tough questions are welcomed and authenticity is valued. We're driven by spiritual passion, recognizing the depth and mystery in faith that inspires us daily. With Jesus firmly at the center, we navigate life guided by his teachings on compassion, justice, and inclusion.
