Enter the season of Lent with prayer and contemplation.

Due to the weather, our ability to go online, and the opportunity to allow more people to participate in worship, we are moving Ash Wednesday worship to an online only service.

Worship will begin at 7 pm.

We will livestream to both YouTube and Facebook.

Chosen Home.

Home is not necessarily a place, but where we find authentic belonging.

At Pancake Church we participate in table conversation around a meal and an idea from the bible, the season, or our experiences.

It’s always a tasty adventure.

Invited Home.

There is no room for Mary and Joseph in the inn. They are displaced from their home, journeying to fulfill their civic requirements to be counted in the census. And yet, the time comes to give birth where they are, and so a humble home is found. A place is made, among the feeding trough, in a cramped room abounding with chaos. In many ways, Jesus is born without an invitation, and yet, he devotes his life to inviting people who are cast out.

In the same way, we might imagine the story of Christmas as God’s invitation to be welcomed home despite all barriers. How will we respond?

Scripture: Luke 2:1-20

Join us. All Means All.

After receiving the angel’s extraordinary news, Mary retreats to Elizabeth and Zechariah’s home to digest her new calling. She seeks refuge—physical safety and emotional protection. She receives a safe haven, a home for her heart to soon sing praise. Sanctuary and safe space is so crucial for everyone, especially the mother of Christ while she prepares to become a home for God. Sanctuary is anywhere God’s love dwells freely and abundantly.

John the Baptist’s good news sounds harsh, but he preaches a home for all—where inequities are banished, valleys are lifted up, and all have the resources they need for collective flourishing. Ultimately, John’s message is one of joy. We are called to collectively build and repair the structures of our society; we are called to be kin-dom builders. Wherever we build, God is there. What we build should be a place with a large table and room for all.

We consider this message as we take in the Gospel According to Sufjan with lots of music from Sufjan Stevens.

In the miraculous birth of John the Baptist, we see the foundation of what is to come. We see how interwoven John’s story is with Jesus’ origin story. When Zechariah regains his voice, imagination is also restored. Zechariah offers deep praise for God’s tender mercy, casts a hopeful vision for his own child, and sings blessings into John’s being. This lays the foundation for John’s life.

In turn, John will go on to prepare the way for Jesus who will guide us all in the way of peace.

In this second week of Advent, we focus on making space—in our lives and our imaginations—for God’s blessings to break through.

Spirit Garage volunteers will be providing and sharing an evening meal to the 21 individuals who are staying at Our Savior’s Emergency Shelter. It’s super low-key. We need about 4 people to serve, and others are welcome to donate food. Sign up here!

As we begin Advent with the “Little Apocalypse” in Luke 21, we remember how far from home we are. The world is not as it should be. Many have lost their physical homes, many feel alone, and many are isolated. Many of us feel as if we are wandering with no clear way forward. This first week speaks to our deep longing—for our home to be made whole, made right, and made well. With deep longing, we watch for God. Thankfully, God enters a homesick world.

We mark the “end of the world” before Advent Begins. We remember that we work with Jesus Christ to transform the world. We awaken again to being disciples of Jesus Christ—not disciples of our own wisdom; not disciples following the winds of this world. Join us. All Means All.
