Lent, Part 4: Holy Proximity: Moving from Sympathy to Solidarity.
How do we move from feeling overwhelmed by the world’s needs to actually participating in its healing?
This Sunday, we continue our Justice of Jesus series by diving into the practical architecture of the Kingdom. We will explore four essential disciplines that sustain any movement for restoration: Prayer, Advocacy, Partnership, and Community.
Join us as we move beyond theory and into practice. Following the message, we will gather around tables for interactive exercises to help us identify how these three pillars can be built into our daily lives and our collective work in the community.
Come ready to move from “seeing” injustice to “walking” the way of restoration.

Lent 2026: The Justice of Jesus, Part 3: Pursuing Justice through Decolonization.
The Church as we know it in our Western culture has become intertwined with the dominant colonial systems and power structures. These systems and structures do not reflect the ministry or the justice of Jesus, and can perpetuate inequity and harm on the marginalized. This Sunday’s sermon will look at how our congregation may pursue justice by intentionally stripping away those biases and actively promoting restorative justice through our teaching, our community, and our budget.

Lent 2026: The Justice of Jesus, Part 2 – Costly Justice.
In a world of “Thoughts and Prayers” and performative social media posts, what does it mean embrace the cost of Justice? Join us this week as we dig into the story of the Good Samaritan as we continue with our lenten series on The Justice of Jesus.

Lent 2026, Part 1.
This coming Sunday, we invite you to join us as we begin this season of Lent together as a community. As we consider the path that Jesus walked on earth – showing us the way of love, justice and peace – we are invited to examine the ways that our faith, worldview and understanding of Jesus have been shaped and corrupted by colonization and empire. We’ll be spending some time reflecting on how centering the Eucharist/Communion table leads us to the centering of Jesus – in our gatherings, our faith community and our lives. In what ways might this centering lead us to a deeper understanding of the justice of Jesus?
