Sometimes art can be an invitation to a new perspective or a deeper meaning. Take time this week to check out Charlie Mackesy and his gentle voice of kindness and friendship. Let us lean into our friendships and those we journey with...

Words from our Associate Pastor for Missions & Education, Becca Lockwood, who returned from a three-month sabbatical today and Lori Jannsen, Preschool Director.

The Ascension of Jesus is a strange story at first glance. Jesus is air-lifted into the heavens and we’re left with a collage of clouds and sunlight. To be clear, it is a strange story. And, when we look at this story in the context of all of Jesus’ other interactions, blessings, healings, miracles...it actually feels pretty consistent with what we've experienced of Jesus thus far. 

The Spirit, the water, always finds a way. No rock or log will stop it completely. It may change its course or alter its speed, but still the water and Spirit flow. May this be true for your spirit this week as well.

Paul believed that God longed to be known by us. As children of God, we see reflections, glimpses of the Divine in each other. In our connection and relationships--in community--we experience God more fully. This week, we explore our ability to stay connected, to form and sustain relationships--even from a distance--through a screen, or a letter, or a phone call.
