Please join us for prayer, music, scripture, message and communion, virtually. Don’t forget to click the bell, friend us, or follow us to get reminders each week.

During the Covid-time, The Spirit Garage kids (in general, ranging from about 4-12) gather together for Zoom time following church every other week, led by a parent (usually Melissa or Adrienne). They explore the same Bible story we listen to in church from a few different kid-friendly angles and check in with each other and pray. Contact Melissa for information about how to get your kids connected! (We keep it password-protected so there are no surprise zoom-bomb visitors).
Grab Rob Bell’s newest book, “Everything is Spiritual” in whatever form you like and join us for two nights of discussions. Rob Bell is the guy who got marginalized/kicked out of most evangelical circles for writing his book “Love Wins” that basically talks about how God’s grace is for everyone. So, of course, we read him! He writes in a poetic, meandering way.
November 24th, we’ll talk about the first half of the book.
December 8th we’ll talk about the second half.
For the 12th year in a row, Spirit Garage will host the Garage Band Christmas Show, with all the bands from Spirit Garage, plus The Brothers Frantzich in the mix. It will just be a little different this year, as it is all virtual.
The ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future are certainly with us this covid-Christmas and 2020 will certainly be monumental for many reasons. Listen as we pay homage to those three elements all in one evening.
Join the Spirit Garage Bands for some holiday classics, garage band-style, featuring Special Guests: The Brothers Frantzich, Revealed, 3 on the Tree, The Collective Ascent, Chillbilly Dynasty, Farm Dogs, and John Kerns.
People have been thinking about and studying God and the Bible forever. But, for a long time, only certain people’s voices were listened to, especially within Western Christianity. European men had a lot of good things to say (and some bad things!) But the voices of others were often silenced.
We’re missing out on the voices of Black voices, indigenous voices, people of color’s voices, queer voices and more. A variety of perspectives expands our ideas about who God is, who god is for, and how God acts in this world. This year we’ll highlight some of these voices once a month on the third Sunday. You can read more about it on the blog.
On December 13th, we talk with Rev. Tuhina Verma Rasche. Tuhina has a complicated relationship with Jesus. She lives a hyphenated life as a second-generation Indian-American woman raised in a devout Hindu household and often finds herself in liminal spaces. She is ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and is called to work for the representation of God’s full diversity in the church. Her work focuses on dismantling white supremacy and conversations on the complexity of identities. She loves stories and believes sharing narratives are integral to building relationships.
Sometimes we sit with one another on Zoom, read poetry, spend time writing or creating, and then share our work as desired. This night will center around the Advent theme of “Gifts.”
I’m thinking of the line in a deep verse of “Little Town” that says “How silently, how silently, the precious gift was given” and I’m thinking of the “Friendly Beasts” that are “Glad to tell of the gifts they gave Emmanuel.”
I’m thinking of gifts we’re given;
I’m thinking of gifts we receive;
I’m thinking of the giftedness of all;
And I’m thinking of the gift of slowing this season down and living into it in a bit of a different way this year.
Join online to explore the idea of gifts.

As always, just a little different: We’ll gather online on Christmas Eve, just as it begins to get dark to hear the stories and sing the songs that tell us about how Love came down and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.
