As we begin to shift our focus toward Pentecost Sunday in two weeks and the historic move of the Spirit upon the Body of Christ, I also find my feet pointing toward the ancient movement of God among the familia of faith.

This coming Sunday, I will depart for Portugal to join an incredible organization called Journey Home as we walk the Camino de Santiago. This has long been a bucket list faith step for me, and I am so looking forward to pilgrimage and the ways God will meet me “on the way”.

I would love your prayers as I travel from May 12-24. And I cannot wait to return home bearing witness to the wonder and work of God from the simple ordinary practice of walking each day, with my heart set on following the footsteps of Jesus.

Women’s Nite: This Saturday!

Please come to Belle and Nicole’s house on Saturday, May 11, 7-9pm, for a chill night with other lovely women for our 2nd Annual Women’s Night! Please bring a snack or drink to share. Remember not to wear your heels because their backyard is uneven, and their dog Winnie will be at the party! Let us know you are coming by filling out the RSVP on the Church Center App. The address and more info will be sent to you after you RSVP.

Hiring Update!

We’re officially pursuing a Director of Children and Youth Ministries! It’s a part-time role and you can read all about it here as well as apply for the job. We’re asking our familia to pass this along to anyone you might see fit to jump in the journey with us! We have extended the application deadline to May 31.

Sabbath Sunday – May 26th

We will not be gathering for a shared Sunday Service on May 26th. Instead, that will be a Sabbath Sunday for us as a church. If you’re newer to our rhythms, these are dates throughout the calendar year where we intentionally, communally practice rest and care and play. And we even encourage one another to gather at shared tables outside of the walls of our church.
