Cultivating and Letting Go
Current Series
Palm Sunday
April 10, 2022 • Luke 19:28–40
It is time to shout Hosanna and join the parade! Grab your palms! It is time to cultivate laughter and song and dance and to let go of our need to be in control or even try to look cool. Let us celebrate our king who enters humbly, with people shouting, full of hopes and dreams for a future shaped by justice, mercy and love!

Fourth Week of Lent
March 27, 2022 • Rev. Amanda Meade • Luke 15:1–3, Luke 15:11–32
This week we are cultivating a resilient spirit by letting go of numbness and powerlessness. We explore the story where Jesus is challenged to answer the oldest question, first explored in Job, why do bad things happen to good people? How does his answer centering around repentance help us to move away from numbness and feeling powerless and strengthen our spirit's ability to move in a world full of tragedy? How can repentance move us to forgiveness and life, away from simply perishing?

First Week of Lent
March 6, 2022 • Rev. Amanda Meade • Luke 4:1–13
We begin Lent this Sunday. Cultivate (verb): to prepare and use for the raising of crops; to foster the growth of; to improve by labor, care, or study; to refine; to further; to encourage. Let go (verb): relinquish one's grip on someone or something. Lent is a season of spiritual gardening, of inviting God to unearth in us what lies fallow, what needs to be tended, and what needs to die for new life to emerge. This Lent, we’re embracing the literal and spiritual practices of cultivating and letting go. Join us this Lent season to see what God wants to cultivate in you and our church family!
