Lent is a time to reflect on Holy Embodiment;
Easter is a great big ol’ party. (We throw great parties here!)
What is Lent? Holy Week? Easter?

Lent
Lent is a time of penitence and remembering our mortality, yes, but this is actually a liberating invitation to see that being sinners doesn't make us unlovable: it means we aren't God. God saves us. We don't. We are obligated to do the work of loving mercy and doing justice and we are liberated in knowing our limits.
To this end, we will spend some time in intentional formation after church learning about HOLY EMBODIMENT and what a holistic, liberated, evidence-based and gentle approach to loving our bodies can look like as Christians.

Holy Week
All of Holy Week centers around keeping time with Jesus in his walk to the cross, his death, and his resurrection.

Easter
"There was evening and there was morning: the first day."
As Christ rises from the grave deep in the darkness between sunset and sunrise early on the first day of the week, so too we gather to behold a dark and empty and beautiful tomb.
