LENTEN SERMON SERIES OPTIONS
WEST CAMPUS SERMON SERIES
Join us at West Campus or online for this Lenten series where we look at the revolutionary work of Jesus through the lens of the world-changing music of The Beatles.  Each week we revisit the playlist of Jesus' journey to the cross in light of the legendary hits of the Fab 4. You say you want a revolution? Jesus and the Beatles each started one. You don't want to miss this series! Let it be.
DOWNTOWN CAMPUS SERMON SERIES
What do you experience when we take the bread and cup? Is it quick and tasteless, or does it give you something to chew on and savor? Join us downtown or online as we take a closer look at communion – bringing together theology and practice, Word and table, explanation, and participation. Each week, we will explore a different aspect of communion and then participate in communion to deepen our understanding of how the “blessed and broken” communion connects to our “blessed and broken” lives.
WORSHIP NEWS:  Beginning in March, we will offer communion by intinction (receiving the piece of bread, dipping into the cup, and eating)
in addition to the prepackaged wafer and juice.
