Post-Worship Potlucks & Devotions for Lent
February 22 – March 29
For the Sundays in Lent, we will base our post-worship potluck conversations on a devotional book from the SALT Project called “Life Stories” that places passages of scripture alongside excerpts from Madeleine L’Engle’s memoir A Circle of Quiet to explore the practice of spiritual autobiography. Through these texts we will be led to explore the sacred stories of our own lives and share them with one another.
You can access a digital version of the devotional booklet here. Print copies will also be available at church.
This will be an especially valuable experience for those new to this community, as well as those seeking to deepen their relationships here. All are welcome!

Advent 2025

Nov '25
The season of Advent begins November 30. Pastor Carolyn has developed an Advent Devotional Booklet as a resource to to guide you through this season.
This Advent devotional may feel a bit different. It is based on the Sunday Scriptures from the Revised Common Lectionary, but from there it brings in voices from art and poetry and literature and philosophy to help us think about how humans prepare to greet Jesus, God made flesh, with all of creation. Theologian William Greenway writes about how we are meant to be “seized by agape” for all of God’s good creation. He expands on the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, who focused on being “seized by the face” of other humans and feeling compelled toward compassion by truly perceiving others. Greenway wants us to expand this beyond humanity. He writes, “Living surrender to having been seized by infinite concern for every other is living surrender to God is faith.” So, throughout this season, in this devotion, you will be invited to truly behold nature, in hopes that truly seeing and loving creation will help us all better love and prepare for God to become a part
of it with us this Christmas.
of it with us this Christmas.
