Resources
We are exploring fresh expressions of a Jesus-shaped life. We tell stories, craft liturgies, write songs, and listen to diverse voices. Aware of the spiritual trauma many carry, we offer these resources humbly, not as truth with a capital “T”, but as reflections of our own journeys.

Sermons
We follow the liturgical calendar–Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Eastertide, Pentecost, Ordinary Time, and within Ordinary Time, the Season of Creation. As we make this annual journey, the scriptures and themes interface with what is unfolding both within our community and the world around us. Invariably, the Spirit shows up. Our sermon series, blogs, and home grown liturgies are designed around these seasons yet are also infused with the presence of a God who faithfully feeds us and loves us.
Curiosity, wondering, questions, and storytelling are vehicles for our growth. We find our way, together.
