What's Next?

April 19, 2020 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

There’s no going back. Jesus is risen. Death is defeated. One man has shown himself to be Lord of life and death, Lord of all the cosmos. Once you know that, you can’t return to the old game of living just for yourself. You can’t think again that the point of your life is about being the you you dreamed up for yourself. It’s about shaping your life to love Jesus by knowing him for who he is and then loving his little ones in his name.

Maundy Thursday Service of Shadows

April 9, 2020 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

Interactive Service of Shadows: Participate at Home! Wherever you are, you can take an active part in our annual Holy Thursday Service of Shadows. Here’s what to do: secure four candles, a lighter, bread, and a cup of juice/wine. Watch and listen as we move through the story of the passion. Wait for the signal to light and/or extinguish candles, and for the time when we can all take communion in our homes, yet spiritually together!
