How do we hold onto hope in the midst of hard times, pain, brokenness, and injustice—both in our own lives, and in the world around us?

What would it mean to you to know that hope is also holding onto us?

This Easter Sunday, come hear about the hope that is found in Jesus being raised to life, how this empowers us to live lives of authentic hope, and how this hope enables us to enter into dark places and the broken spaces in our own lives and the lives of others. This hope cannot be extinguished by cruelty or injustice, but rather is a hope that creates kindness and pursues justice. 

This isn’t toxic positivity. This is a kind of hope that allows us to fully feel the turmoil within us and around us, and yet also say that brokenness doesn’t get to have the last word, because Jesus will make all things new.

If any of this resonates, we’d love for you to be here with us as this hope awakens us to new possibilities.

What to Expect

This warm and inviting worship service will include liturgical elements like prayers, creeds, a sermon, and communion. Don’t know what any of that means? Not to worry—we like to explain the historic elements in our service as we go, because in times when so much is changing, these ancient practices can help root and ground us, and connect us to others across time and space.

Our worship service will be followed by a community meal outdoors in the courtyard, and we’ll be bringing back our favorite local food truck from Zaida’s Kitchen. Zaida’s Kitchen serves authentic Mexican Oaxacan cuisine, is 100% gluten-free, and makes from-scratch non-GMO corn tortillas. Yum!
