“Everything in Between:

Meeting God in the Midst of Extremes”

Wednesday evenings during Lent:

March 12, 19, 26; April 2, 9

Soup Supper in the Upper Room at 6:00 

followed by table worship and the Lord's Supper

presentations and conversation at 7:00

​

On Wednesday evenings we will gather at tables in our common church home for a simple supper of soup and bread at 6:00, followed by a brief service of evening prayer and the Lord’s Supper around the tables.  After supper and table worship we’ll share in table conversation and learning together.

 

This year’s theme, “Everything in Between,” is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Each week a presenter with expertise and wisdom will help us engage the binaries of our lives and help us to see that God is present in between.

 

​Come for soup and worship at 6:00 or conversation at 7:00 or both!  

The evenings have been designed with flexibility in mind.

Sign up here!

Childcare will be available upon request!
