The Church Sent, Scattered, and Staying Put
April 19—May 24, 2020
The reactions to the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the movement that grew from his followers ranges all across the spectrum of emotions and circumstances, from the curious to the violently opposed. As we consider our own time of unique challenges to life as we have known it, we can draw a lot from the stories of the early church’s first steps in a new world and the resistance they experienced. We are challenging everyone in our church to use the season of Eastertide to join a group to follow Jesus with and to use this series as a place to start.
find a Group
In these strange and difficult times, it is as important as ever that we are walking with God in community. Use these six weeks to find a group to practice the way of Jesus. During the Eastertide series, we will be sharing themes to consider, discussion questions, supplemental resources, and shared practices for groups to explore each week.
shared practices
In each season, we commit ourselves to shared spiritual practices as a church. This spring, we will be exploring Sabbath as our “inhale” practice and Compassion as our “exhale” practice. Join in our shared spiritual practices and look for how God will use them to bear the fruit of His kingdom in your life and our city.

love in action
In times like these, we have a unique opportunity to demonstrate the love of God to our neighbors at a time when so many are disconnected and vulnerable. We are gathering ideas for being good neighbors, and of opportunities to love and serve those most deeply affected across our city.
