March is *Very* Busy at Sacred Place
Oh boy. Looking at the calendar for the next two weeks is somewhat alarming. We have 5 gatherings over a 14-day period.
- March Mission Sunday, March 17 @ 10:30 AM
- Palm + Passion Sunday, March 24 @ 11 AM
- Maundy Thursday Dinner, March 28 @ 6 PM
- Good Friday Tenebrae, March 29 @ 6 PM
- Easter Sunday, March 31 @ 10:30 AM
We’re continuing to walk with Jesus through his final days in Jerusalem before his death. Because each Sunday in Lent is super important to the trajectory of the Story, next week, I’ll share a brief reflection on the texts we are skipping this week from Mark 13.
March Mission Sunday • March 17, 10:30 AM
This month’s Mission Sunday invites us to reflect on our spirituality as Easter approaches, reaffirming our individual and collective identities in the world. Drawing from his recent retreat experience, Bryan will share insights which have affirmed his sense of purpose and calling. Together, we’ll explore the interplay between spirituality and justice, considering how they mutually shape our lives.
Mission Sundays are when we set aside time to focus on one of our core values: justice, inclusion, and family. These might be a special guided conversation, a visit from a guest speaker, a service project, or a group field trip. There is no live stream/church online on Mission Sundays.
Palm + Passion Sunday • March 24, 11 AM
On this Palm + Passion Sunday, journey with us as we reflect on the shadow of expectation and devotion. Explore the contrasts between the triumphant entry and the anointing at Bethany, delving into the complexities of our own expectations and devotion in our faith journey.
Maundy Thursday Dinner • March 28, 6 PM
Join us for a meaningful Maundy Thursday dinner where we celebrate the spirit of inclusivity and love. Experience a night of fellowship, reflection, and a shared meal that embodies the values of compassion and community.
We’re serving a dinner of soup, chili, and breads. Your RSVP will help us plan for enough food, though not required.
Good Friday Tenebrae • March 29, 6 PM
Step into the solemn beauty of our Good Friday Tenebrae as we observe the passion and sacrifice of Jesus Christ through a candlelit service of darkness. Join us in this contemplative journey, where sacred music, scripture readings, and extinguishing candles create a profound atmosphere of reflection and remembrance.
