A message from the series “Through Their Eyes.” This Advent season, we will celebrate the story of Christmas from the perspective of some of the “smaller” characters. We begin with Mary and Joseph in an all-ages interactive service on the First Sunday of Advent: December 2. They were an unremarkable couple from a backwater town in the Middle East, who went on a journey that changed world!

A message from the series “Love Where You Live.” In this story, Jesus participates in a community celebration. When the wine runs out, the hosts face public humiliation. Jesus abundantly but quietly provides, allowing the festivities to continue, and others to take the credit. Join with us as we look at what this story can tell us about being a good neighbor.

A message from the series “Love Where You Live.” Jesus crosses all kinds of social barriers to connect with someone his culture considered an outsider. He vulnerably asks for assistance and engages in conversation in a deep and vulnerable way.

A message from the series “Love Where You Live.” In this series we aim to fall in love with our neighborhoods; to see beauty with fresh eyes, and to develop a vision for how we can be agents of love, peace and hope right where we live. We could take our neighborhoods for granted, overlook their inherent and unique beauty, and even wish we lived somewhere more glamorous. Or we could see them as places of wonder and loveliness! For 4 weeks, we’ll explore how we can serve, befriend and celebrate our neighborhood in the way that Jesus did. Together we will work to become better neighbors and make our neighborhoods better places.
