12.4 [TEACHING] Old Creed, New World (Advent wk 2)

Jason Miller - As we enter the season of Advent, we’ll spend four weeks exploring the implications of a God who locates Godself in the womb of a young woman. What if her experience isn't just something for us to revere from a distance, but a pattern for us to follow as we, too, allow God to bear God's life in us? 
If you would like to share in the Eucharist meal with us, go ahead and grab some form of cracker or bread and some form of wine or juice.

11.20 [PRACTICE] Thanksgiving Gathering

In today’s gathering, we focus ourselves on gratitude by exploring the good out in the world and the good within our own lives. Instead of listening to a teaching today, we ask that you join us in practices intended to center ourselves on a spirit of thankfulness and that lead us to the Eucharist table together.

11.13 [CONVERSATION] The ”We” in ”We believe...” (wk 2)

As we work our way through the Apostles' Creed, we've been reminded that the story it tells is a story we carry together as a church. This weekend, we're continuing to hear stories from the people who put the "We" in "We believe..."

11.6 [REFLECTION] Story Liturgy

11.6 [UPDATE] The Tribune Project #4

In the Tribune Project update we shared two weeks ago, increased costs for Phase 1 renovations had created a gap of roughly $1.5MM between our project resources (giving commitments, grant funding, and mortgage) and our renovation costs. This weekend, Jason gave an update on the project and what we’ve been able to accomplish over the last few weeks - spoiler alert: it’s good news.

10.30 [FAMILY DEDICATION]

In this Sunday’s gatherings, families of all kinds came forward to dedicate themselves in the sacred work of raising kids, and we as a church affirmed them and committed ourselves to walking with them. We culminated our time with the Eucharist, so if you’d like to join us in that practice, feel free to grab crackers and juice of some kind.
