We invite you to come ‘show up’ on any Wednesday between 5-6pm to come and see what God does in our community.

Seder Gathering
Please join us for a Seder Gathering on April 17th at 6pm, doors open at 5:30pm. A Seder gathering is a special meal celebrated during Passover, where Jewish families come together to retell the story of their ancestors' exodus from Egypt, remembering their struggles and celebrating their freedom. It involves symbolic foods, prayers, songs, and the sharing of stories, creating a meaningful and reflective experience for all who participate. Come, engage in a spirit of unity, and reflect on themes of liberation and hope. It will be a beautiful opportunity for fellowship, education, and shared reflection. This will be a representative Seder, which means that it is not a full meal, but a light representation of the elements Seder normally has.
Registration is now closed, but if you’re desiring a spot please call the church office!
***The entire Seder Gathering will be gluten free
GriefShare
Lose someone you love recently? This could be a spouse, family member, friend, or someone else you were close to. Join us for GriefShare!
Our GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
We will start on Sunday, February 9 at 1pm.
