The Didache
The Didache, or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, offers a glimpse into the faith and hope, the discipline and rituals, and the anxieties and challenges facing gentiles being trained for full, active participation in the earliest Jewish-Christian communities, 50-70 CE. Reflecting on the beliefs and practices of some of our earliest ancestors in the faith will offer us fresh perspectives as we seek to follow Christ today.
Sundays after worship at 11:15am in the Pastors' Gallery. For youth and adults.

We Survived the End of the World - January 8 @ 5:30pm
Pandemics and war, social turmoil and corrupt governments, natural disasters and environmental collapse--it's hard not to watch the signs of the times and feel afraid. But we can journey through that fear to find hope. With the warnings of a prophet and the lively voice of a storyteller, Choctaw elder, Episcopal Bishop, and theologian Steven Charleston speaks to all who sense apocalyptic dread rising around and within.
We'll continue this discussion with chapter 3, "Tenskwatawa: The House of the Stranger."

Spirit Lab: Journaling as Prayer - January 15 @ 5:30pm
Start the new year with a new or renewed spiritual practice!
In this workshop you'll gain insights on journaling as a spiritual practice before then engaging a few brief writing prompts encouraging you to pour out your hidden heart to God. This experience should leave you feeling more self-aware and spiritually present.
Bring your favorite writing tools, e.g. journal, paper, pen, laptop, etc.
