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.

Join us. All means All.

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.

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.

In my end is my beginning (TS Eliot East Coker). This week in worship we will work through an end of the world text and find hope for our days. Join us. All Means All.

At our Coffeehouse Worship, we take a sacred theme and curate poetry, music and art around it. This looks a little different than our regular worship. We hope it creates a sacred space for you to encounter God. In this Coffeehouse Worship Service we ponder our fall theme "Life Together” with poetry and music. Come and rest in that bath of words and song. Be with people who care for you. Be sent out to care for others. 

Today we celebrate Spirit Garage origins, as we consider the Life Together that Spirit Garage has had for 27 years. Stay after worship for birthday cake!

About once a month we have a guest speaker who is a faith leader that is also a person of color and/or queer, who speaks on a text that resonates with them in perhaps a different way than what has been traditionally taught down through the years.

This autumn at Spirit Garage we will explore “Life Together,” a short and insightful book written by Deitrich Bonhoeffer while he taught at an underground seminary.

In this Coffeehouse Worship Service we ponder our June theme "God is Curious," which is part of our larger summer series celebrating that God is Creative, Quirky, and Curious.

Spirit Garage is full of Creative, Quirky, and Curious folx. We are created in the image of God, who is also Creative, Quirky, and Curious. Let’s learn more about God together this summer!

This week we continue to explore what is Curious about God, through the curious story where Jesus curses a fig tree (Mark 11:12-25). Come think about this with us!
