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.

CineSpirit
Join us for a 7-week film and spirituality series, inviting people of all backgrounds to explore central spiritual themes through thoughtfully selected films that engage the heart and mind. Hosted at a variety of locations around our city, each session includes a screening of the film and then a post-film discussion designed to spark meaningful dialogue, encouraging participants to reflect on transformative stories of crisis, change, forgiveness, and hope. Whether you're a film enthusiast or simply curious about life's deeper questions, this series offers a welcoming space to connect and grow together.
