morning prayer

Henri Nouwen describes prayer as moving away from a place of hate and into the house of God. Daily, we do that individually in our own prayer practices. But when we share space with other Christians to pray we are reminded that we are not alone - we are accompanied by all of history’s saints alongside all of heaven. By practicing communal prayer, we can move into God’s home together, hand in hand, alongside the rest of creation.

Once a month we are creating a space for communal prayer in the Founders Room at 9:20am, beginning September 13th. Together we will pray through different liturgies and prayer practices found through the Church such as The Anglican Daily Office, Celtic liturgy, Lectio Divina, intercessory prayer, and more.

hellbound? documentary & discussion

On Friday, September 18th at 7:00pm, Ryan will host a viewing of the documentary Hellbound? followed by a group discussion. This film examines the three dominant views of hell described through scripture and church history, featuring interviews with pastors and theologians from various traditions at work today. Our goal is not to decide upon one specific doctrine of hell, but to ask the hard questions: what is God like? What does God want in the end?

generosity guide

If we care about God’s justice, we will reprioritize our time and resources to show it. To become more generous is to become more like God.

Below you will find a guide for organizing your finances to better align with God’s priorities. This is not a hard principle to follow, but rather a template that may help you think more deeply about where your money goes and why.

sabbath encouragement

We want to continue putting Sabbath practice front-and-center in our life of faith. Below you will find a handout that asks some questions to help you craft a Sabbath that emphasizes worship, rest, and delight. Take time in the coming weeks to journal your thoughts, or if you are married and/or have kids, talk through it together.
