Maundy Thursday
Join us for our annual Maundy Thursday seder dinner, a night where we reenact the final meal Jesus ate with his disciples and connect the themes of that meal to the larger story of Christ and the scriptures. The meal will be hosted at the Leavitt home, and since we will be providing food, we need to know no later than April 12th who is planning to come. Be sure to RSVP on our website ASAP, and if you want to help with any part of the evening (i.e. preparing food or drinks, helping with setup/tear down, etc.), please reach out to our Pastoral Resident, Daniel Barth, at danielbarth30@gmail.com or sign up here)

Parent's Night In
Based on the book Teach Your Children Well: A Step-by-Step Guide to Parent Discipleship by Sarah Cowen Johnson, this “evening in” will explore practical advice and biblical guidance for parents seeking to disciple their children. The book focuses on how parents can take an active, intentional role in their children’s spiritual formation, with an emphasis on creating a strong, faith-based foundation in the home. We’ll watch a few videos based on topics covered in the book and have time for conversation and break-outs for each parent unit to begin thinking through discipleship in their home. Purchase of the book is not required, but if you'd like a copy, make that selection on the sign up and I'll have one for you! Dinner for the adults & Childcare will be provided!! Bring a dinner for your kiddos, though. Register by 4/24 to secure your slot!

Ash Wednesday
Join us for our annual Ash Wednesday service, a kick off to the Lenten season in which we reflect upon our need for Jesus and choose to embrace specific Lenten practices together as a community. Rabbi Simcha Bunim taught that we should carry two truths: “For me the world was created,” and “I am but dust and ashes.” In this tension, we seek renewal in Christ, embracing His love and grace to transform us.
The service theme will be "Never Waste A Good Crisis," and will involve some music, a short teaching, and some meditative space for you to consider the ways God might be leading you back to life in Him looking forward to Easter.
