Renewal Series 2026
Renewal!
At Easter, we celebrated resurrection—the life Jesus offers and the hope of transformation in our lives and in our world.
Hope that God has not given up on any of us, no matter how much we may be struggling.
Hope that God has not given up on our world, even when it feels violent or unjust.
And hope that transformation is possible—that love is stronger than fear, and a new world of peace, justice, and kindness is within reach.
In this series, we dare to imagine a renewed world shaped by the love and beauty of heaven.
Together, we will:
- Open our lives to personal renewal and spiritual refreshment
- Explore how we can bring rest and renewal to the spaces and resources we share
- Seek a deeper renewal of justice and belonging in our life as a church and in the world
In a time when it’s easy to feel weighed down, we will learn to breathe in the new life Jesus gives—and rise to live it out.
Go Deeper
Each week includes discussion questions and prayer practices to help you reflect and engage.
As we continue the Renewal! series, we want to create space for continued conversation and engagement. Join a Cultural Deep Dive Discussion Group with Pastor Nikki for 60 minutes after the services on Sundays May 3rd and 17th. This will be an opportunity to ask questions related to the message and explore practices for living within a multicultural community and world.
