Learning from the Book of Esther: Laughing in the Face of Uncertainty and Times of Trouble.
This week we will be taking a closer look at the book and person of Esther. There are lots of messy topics that this book touches on but like most great cultural events, it may actually be best read as a comedy. Sometimes one of the greatest gifts God gives us may actually be Their sense of humour. Humour allows us to view things in a different light and breathe a little easier when it feels like our breath has been taken away.

Stories from Scripture: Flannelgraph Not Included, Part 2: The Sassy Syrophoenician.
Fierce, witty, and unapologetically bold—the Syrophoenician woman didn’t submit or resign to passivity. She was persistent and courageous in challenging the status quo, refusing to take “no” as an answer, and in so doing she partnered with God in creating a more just world.
Join us this Sunday as we explore her powerful story, and discover how her example (among others) invites us to challenge our assumptions, reimagining our own role in partnering with God in our journeys of transformation and the pursuit of justice and healing of our world.

SERVICE AND LEARNING.
One of the ways we practice living out our faith and worship as a community is through connecting and partnering with service organizations in our local community, being guided by those working and living at the margins. On a regular basis we use our gathering time on the weekend to spread out in smaller groups around the city to learn more about a particular justice issue or concern and to find ways to contribute to the work that is happening in our broader community.

Stories from Scripture: Flannelgraph Not Included, Part 1
This week we begin the year with a new series looking at different characters from scripture. To start us off Devon explores the story of Jesus healing a blind man, and how his personal connection to this story has changed and grown over the years. We attempt to journey through the many influences this story has on us today.
