Rejoice in hope: Celebrating the Good News in a time of bad news
At times, the news cycle can be overwhelming. As our world seems to be pulling itself apart, it would be easy to lose hope. But the clarion call of the Gospel demands that we find hope, and the pages of scripture and two millennia of Christian witness stand ready to equip us with hope. Jesus Christ has overcome the powers of sin and death, and that’s true today just as it was on the first Easter 2,000 years ago.
Dinner to follow.

Streams of mercy: Our call to share God’s love in this broken world
The voices of our culture call us to keep score, to judge, and to measure the worth of others. But the voice of Jesus calls us to love others as he first loved us. As we embrace the love God has for us, we can learn to be bearers of grace and mercy in a sometimes merciless world.
