We’re excited about our Hope Practices series!

This Sunday, Feb. 22 we think about how we can resist the temptation of despair and doomism. On Mar. 1 we will talk about climate emotions, and how we don’t need to choose one thing to feel. Come for our non-traditional approach to worship, stay for a community where you are seen.

Happy Monday community!

Welcome again to our Monday discussion rounds where you will be sharing with us your thoughts about weekly discussion questions about Sunday's service.

If you missed our Sunday's service yesterday, here's a quick recap of what we heard:

+ how we are witness to Jesus’ overflowing love and compassion;
+ how we continue to work in and through us to build towards collective flourishing for all people;
+ how we are called into being curious, approachable, and loving towards all of God’s creation;
+ the importance of knowing who we are and our role in the world.

Our question for you today is:
“How do we show up in a world where discrimination, war, genocide, violence, scapegoating, and poverty run rampant amongst God’s people?”

We would love to know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Happy Monday community!

Welcome again to our Monday discussion rounds where you will be sharing with us your thoughts about weekly discussion questions about Sunday's service.

If you missed our Sunday's service yesterday, here's a quick recap of what we heard:

+ how the resurrection is a spiritual awakening .
+ how salvation and resurrection are linked to gnosis,;
+ how Mary Magdalene recounts a vision of the risen Jesus;
+ how post-resurrection appearances of Jesus were visionary or symbolic rather than physical.

Our question for you today is:
“If Jesus continued to teach in spirit after the resurrection, as some early texts suggest, what might that reveal about the nature of divine truth?”
