Meeting Time:

Mondays 7:00-8:00 PM

February 26 – April 1

Meeting Type / Location: in-person @ WMC

No matter what we achieve or how much we gain, “success” can always feel out of reach. In the midst of our anxious and exhausted culture, Jesus invites us to redefine success on his terms. In the Kingdom of God, success is not about what we have but who we are becoming. This small group video series based on Pete Portal’s book, How to be (Un)Successful, will help you explore true success, looking at the life and teachings of Jesus.

Shifting Our Worlds Toward Love & Justice

Meeting Time: Wednesdays 7:00-8:00 p.m. February 21 – April 17 Meeting Type / Location: Zoom video A remarkable aspect of Jesus’ life and ministry was how he conveyed the truths of the kingdom of God. He often told stories. Jesus’ story telling (parables) enlightened people’s ability to see more clearly what God was up to in our world. This spring we will experience a conversation that uses Jesus’ method of storytelling -- doing so in a way that brings fresh, new insight into how we see the world. On this season of the podcast “Learning How to See” Brian McLaren dives into conversation with Gareth Higgins, a writer and speaker who works in peace building and violence reduction. Together, Brian and Gareth will invite us to explore the story patterns that can lead us towards — and away from — a more equitable and loving future. Each week we will privately listen to an episode of the podcast and then come together on Zoom to share thoughts and responses together.

From Spiritual Tourism to Experiencing God

Meeting Time: Thursdays, 6:30-8:00 PM, February 15 – April 18 Meeting Type / Location: Hammerslag home | 3881 E. Birchwood Place, Chandler Are you a spiritual tourist or a pilgrim? In this group, we will pursue moving from being spiritual tourists enjoying religious experiences when we have the time and inclination, to becoming pilgrims (disciples) who undertake the slow, life-long process of making our way home to Christ. Together with author Eugene Peterson, we will journey through the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), learning what it means to be a pilgrim on the road of discipleship. Note: Each participant must have a copy of the book, "A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society" by Eugene Peterson.
