Holy Week

Holy Week begins as we lift our eco-palms high on Palm Sunday, stepping into a sacred week filled with community and celebration. From shared potluck dinners to outdoor gatherings, we journey together toward Easter. On Easter Sunday, we offer two meaningful worship experiences: a peaceful sunrise worship at Gray’s Lake Park and a joyful 10 AM celebration in our worship space. Whether it’s your first time with us or your 50th, you are wholeheartedly welcomed, embraced, and affirmed just as you are.

Maundy Thursday Potluck Dinner

Thursday, April 17th
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
2326 University Ave

You're invited to bring a dish and beverage to share as we remember Jesus’ last meal with his disciples and his call to love one another. We’ll spend time wondering together: “Who is Mary Magdalene?” through the lenses of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Good Friday at Woodland Cemetery

Friday, April 18th
5:30 PM
Woodland Cemetery (Enter at 2019 Woodland Ave and follow the signs)

Join us for a meaningful evening of progressive worship at Woodland Cemetery. This soulful Good Friday gathering invites us to reflect not only on the death of Jesus, but also on all those who have been killed by state-sanctioned violence for daring to believe in liberation and justice. Bring a blanket or lawn chair for comfort, and follow the signs once you enter the cemetery at 2019 Woodland Ave. All are welcome. Come as you are.

Holy Saturday Gathering

Saturday, April 19th
4:30 PM
2326 University Ave

Join us for a sacred Holy Saturday gathering honoring Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Through scripture, poetry, prayer, and ritual, we will hold space for the sacred pause between death and resurrection—trusting that even in the silence, Sacred Mystery is near. All are welcome to join for a time of reflection, lament, and hope, as we commit ourselves to the work of justice and collective healing.

SON-Rise Worship

6:30 AM
Grays Lake Park: 2101 Fleur Dr. (Enter at North Entrance and Follow Signs)

Celebrate Easter morning with us as the sun rises over beautiful Gray’s Lake—a perfect and peaceful way to begin this Holy Day. Enjoy glorious music, mini chocolate croissants, warm coffee, and Pastor Debbie’s telling of the Resurrection. Dress casual and warm, bring a lawn chair or blanket, and use the North Entrance of Gray’s Lake, following our signs to the gathering spot. All are welcome to this joyful celebration!
