Pancake Church

Join us for a tradition about 4 years in the making, when we make pancakes and have brunch the Sunday after Christmas during worship. There will be some fun elements of worship we’ll experience as we eat pancakes.

Christmas Eve

O, come all ye faithful and everyone else-it’s Christmas eve. We will sing new songs and old and hear the ancient story of a love that came down and surprised us with grace and love, announcing it’s presence in the strangest of ways.

Our Advent Theme is “The Hopes and Fears of All the Years.” This day we reflect on the Shepherds’ experience (Luke 2:8-20) of the heavens being filled with angels say “Do not fear,” and filling the countryside with song.

During this season when we know not everyone has family to be around, because of loss or estrangement or whatever the reason, we come together as a church community that’s part of your chosen family to share a holiday meal.

This year’s dinner will be casual. It will be a potluck (so bring the thing you love having at a holiday meal).

RSVP here so we know to plan for your presence. Everyone is welcome!

Advent week 4: Love

Our Advent Theme is “The Hopes and Fears of All the Years.” This week we will focus on Love by looking at the story of Joseph’s dream (Matthew 1:18-23). Joseph’s fears are overcome by love. Can we let God’s love overcome our fears and give us hopes?

Come together to play with words in an Advent way. WordPlay is an event for poetry lovers and writers, with writing prompts, time to write and time to share if you want to. On this night, we’ll make it festive with cookies and cider. No experience necessary!

Advent week 3: Joy

Our Advent Theme is “The Hopes and Fears of All the Years.” This week we will focus on Joy by looking at the story of Mary (Luke 1:26-38). When does joy take us by surprise? Do not fear!

Christmas is a busy season with a lot of feelings and we’re going to explore it all this year at our Surviving Christmas Show. Expect music from more than a dozen musicians, stories and poetry that we hope help you survive the season. 

Admission and refreshments are free.

Donations are accepted.

Advent week 2: Peace

Our Advent Theme is “The Hopes and Fears of All the Years.” This week we will focus on Peace by looking at the story of Zechariah (Luke 1:5-25). What are our hopes for Peace and what fears do we have that keep us from seeking Peace?

In our coffeehouse style worship–a worship experience when we listen to poetry and music to help us notice and understand more about God.
