Women’s Bible Study – Luke
Apr 30 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe we can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated façade we present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either. The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger!

Prayers for Children Lost and Longed For
May 8 @ 6:30 pm – 7:15 pm

Sometimes the most painful and heartbreaking parts of our lives are hardest to let others hold with us. So we bury our grief deep within. This will be a service of prayer and quiet and an act of remembrance. It will be a time to come together and commemorate and hold tenderly the loss of children that so many have experienced through miscarriage, infertility or death. Our language is lament to God, and our work is care for one another. All genders and ages are invited.
