Once again we find ourselves on the verge of a Holy Week that a year ago we would never have imagined. We have experienced loss and grief and change, but we continue to hold those things in community, and once again, our Holy Week will be done in community. If your soul needs the bread and wine and memory of Maundy Thursday, the space of feeling the loss and death and tears of Good Friday, the threshold and anxious waiting of Holy Saturday, or the celebration and resurrection of Easter Sunday, there is a place for you in any of the following places:
MAR 28 | PALM SUNDAY STORYLINE- 10am
Our liberation is ALWAYS tied up with the liberation of others. Jesus embodied this truth on Palm Sunday as the people gathered in public protest to hail his entry and give their voice and their palms to speak truth to power. Come celebrate this moment with Storyline at our Gathering on Sunday at 10:00am.
Anytime this week | HOLY WEEK NATURE WALK
