Lenten Series
This Lent we’ll look beyond black and white binaries and easy answers and imagine where God might be meeting us beyond the categories we create. How can we navigate everything in between, with more faith, intention, and an openness to be transformed.

Dinner Church (MIDWEEK) - Submit a Song
How many times have you declared a certain song to be your "favorite song"? A person can have 100 (or more) favorite songs. That's because in different moments of life music and lyrics can speak to our emotions like almost nothing else. During our dinner church this year, we'll lift up the songs that have sung in our hearts at just the right time, the lyrics that helped us to heal, the melody that moved us, the story of the perfect song at the perfect time, the song sung in a choir or community or at a campfire that helped us understand our faith in a new way.

What are the songs that have been most meaningful to you? Please use this FORM to share your song. If you have more than one song, please submit more than one form.

You don't have to perform your song to submit it. During dinner church, there will be options for non-singers, sing-a-longs, and for solo/group performers!
SUNDAY, MARCH 30
(Parable of the Lost Sheep)
Herding sheep is a never-ending task. As soon as one is found, another may go missing. Our lives have a similar ebb and flow—in one moment we might feel like we have it all together, and in the next, we’re struggling to survive. The promise of this parable is that no matter how “lost” we feel, the Good shepherd is by our side.
SUNDAY, APRIL 6
(Zacchaeus greets Jesus)
The crowds grumble at Jesus’ self-invitation to stay with Zacchaeus, and their righteous indignation isn’t without cause. As a tax collector, Zacchaeus has extorted money and acted in collusion with the empire, using his position to oppress his own people. It is important to call out oppression, and yet, Jesus offers mercy. That mercy then begets more mercy as Zacchaeus, unprompted, offers to return what he took, and then some.
SUNDAY, APRIL 13
(Jesus enters Jerusalem)
Jesus doesn’t instigate his own parade. Instead, just his quiet presence alone inspires the multitude to shout out and praise God. When the religious leaders try to silence the crowd, Jesus tells them that the noise level isn’t the point—even the stones would cry out if they were silent. It takes wisdom to know when our voice is needed and when it’s just noise.
MAUNDY THURSDAY, APRIL 17 - 7:00 pm
(Last Supper)
In his final hours, Jesus redefines power through acts of humility, including sharing a final meal with his closest friends and those who will soon betray him. After breaking bread, the disciples argue about who is the greatest, but Jesus tells them that the greatest must be the least and the leader must be the servant, turning their hierarchy on its head. According to Jesus, humility is powerful, and real power is shown through humility.
GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 18 - 7:00 pm
(Jesus dies alongside a penitent thief)
As Jesus dies on the cross, one thief resists him and the other accepts him as Messiah. Jesus resists the empire but accepts his fate. We also are called to resist systems of power and oppression, and yet we ultimately have to accept that Jesus dies—and one day we will too. We have to discern what to accept as given and what to resist, what is “God’s will” and what is the result of our own unquestioned systems.
 EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 20 - 10:45 am
(The women grieve and Peter runs to the tomb)
Grief is a healthy response to Jesus’ death and a valid way to enter worship on Easter morning. And yet, the women at the empty tomb are given hope amidst their mourning. The other disciples don’t believe the women’s message, but Peter, living in the in-between of grief and hope, runs to the tomb to see for himself. Grieving doesn’t have to make us hopeless. Hope can compel us to take action when we are deep in grief.
