This Hallelujah Banquet
by Eugene H. Peterson • 9:00am / Upper Room • June 5 - July 31 Life isn’t easy. As widespread uncertainty rises in the world, many of us feel peace sinking lower with each news alert or incoming message. Yet it’s in the midst of testing that God sets a table. He invites us to discard fear and feast instead. In these sermons, the late author, Eugene Peterson (translator of The Message Bible) connects us with ancient Christian wisdom from the book of Revelation. Through Christ’s messages to seven early churches, we see how the end of one way of life can usher in a more vibrant connection with Jesus. With God, every ending has a new beginning.

Thank God It's Thursday:
Encountering Jesus at the Lord's Table As If for the Last Time by William H. Willimon • 9:30am / Social Hall • May 1 - May 29 What can we learn from Jesus' words and actions as he celebrated the Lord's Supper with the disciples on the original Maundy Thursday? Plenty! Focusing on Christ's sacrifice, example of servanthood, mandate to love one another, betrayal, and provision, Willimon offers five powerful meditations to enrich an often-overlooked part of Holy Week.
