Christ is risen!
Christ is risen, indeed!
Thank you for joining us this Lenten season as we journeyed towards the promise of resurrection. May we carry the Spirit, and this community, with us in all the seasons to come.
Seal that place and walk away.
Look elsewhere for him.
We need each other so that we might do better, be better.
Sincerely,
A community of "recovering assholes" 😉
Anyone else hearing Neyo right now?
"...let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself.
let me love you and all your trouble
Don't be afraid...let me help"
Make a list of your cloud of witnesses.
Give thanks for each name.
Who might you be a witness to?

May we seek out the outcasts,
the outlaws,
and the overlooked.
And in doing so, may we find you.
On this day of visibility, we give thanks for our Transgender siblings.
For their courage, their truth-telling, their refusal to disappear.
God of Creation, give us eyes to see one another more clearly, hearts that honor everyone's belovedness, and the will to stand against harm in all its forms.
God is with us, always.
We do not walk alone.
May we be willing to show up, in all of our vulnerability, to follow where Love leads.
We do not do this work alone.
We are not meant to traverse in isolation.
May we find our people.
The world is better because you are in it.
Do not be afraid to ask for help. Your community cares.
Consider praying Paul's prayer today.
For yourself, for your neighbors, for the world.
In your mercy, Lord.
Even Mary needed a little confirmation. Why shouldn't you?
Doubt is your birthright, and you are not alone.
God's covenant is not a contract we earn.
It is an unshakable promise.
Guidance still comes, even in the dry places.
Don't let people use your pain to convince you of God's glory.
Say it, scream it, cry out. Don't pretend it's all okay.
Don't rush to resurrection if your soul is not ready.
God. Is. Not. Counting.
Live. Be Free.
What 'bangers' come to mind when you encounter the book of Revelation? What does it bring up in you?
Put your faith in the Good Parent
For the Good Parent is unfailing love
and full inclusion.
May the Good news come bursting out of it,
even as we sit in a season of expectant waiting.
What can creation inspire in you to pretend to be today?
May we burst forth, surrounded in supportive commubity, ready to take on the world.
Your existence is not a sin.
Let that truth set you free.
God is not static.
God is action.
God is the verb, and the verb was God.
Embrace your inner child, your childlike faith, so that you may see God in ways that you haven't allowed yourself to do before.
Self-acceptance is not optional; it is foundational.
Seeing ourselves as beloved children of God allows us to see that belovedness in others as well.
Freedom is here; it has already been given, and still, we are reluctant to lean into liberation.
What is holding you back from living into the life God has promised for you?
What is keeping you from loving fully?
What strength needs to rise up so that you can allow love to draw you forward?
Dancing optional.
Good vibes...that's a given!
