We gather in Christ’s peace.

We sing of joy and hope.

We pray for the beloved community both inside and outside our doors.

We experience forgiveness.

We learn about ourselves and others from the eyes of Jesus.

We are encouraged by a powerful Spirit to bring God’s love to all we meet.

This Week’s Message

We might expect that, after denying Christ, Peter would cower in shame—or perhaps even run away in an attempt to leave his past behind him. Instead, when he hears the news from the women, he doesn’t dismiss them like the other disciples. He gets up and runs to the tomb. When he peers into the empty tomb and sees the linen cloth, he is filled with awe. Even after the biggest failures, even after the worst case scenario has happened, can we run toward hope? Like Peter, will we keep going? Will we keep looking for God in our midst?

Current Series

Like many of us, Peter has a wandering heart. His journey is not polished, or linear, or perfect, but he is always tethered to the love of God. When you look closely at Peter’s story, you find Jesus at each step along the way—offering him abundance, catching him when he begins to sink, challenging him when he stands in the way, washing his feet, predicting his betrayal, and offering him agape love. This Lent, we’re joining Peter in figuring out faith. We’re not idolizing or vilifying him; instead, we’re hoping to wander alongside him, open to what we might learn about Jesus (and ourselves) by stepping in his shoes.

Wandering Heart Playlist

As our faith journey takes us down wandering paths, the words we grew up singing and the old, familiar melodies have a way of tethering our hearts to the God who wanders with us. We’ve collected songs on Spotify that add to the Wandering Heart Lenten experience, which follows Simon Peter’s wandering journey as he follows Jesus from the shores of the Sea of Galilee to the empty tomb and back again.

Special Services & Events

April 17: Maundy Thursday Meal, 6:30pm

During the Last Supper, Jesus kneels to wash his disciples’ feet. When he comes to Peter, we see a similar pattern unfold yet again: reluctance then exuberance. Peter initially resists, but then he wholeheartedly submits. When we, like Peter, are reluctant and resistant to receiving love, can we remember that streams of mercy are never ceasing? Will we be reshaped by grace? Join us in this unique gathering as we have a potluck meal in the sanctuary guided by the movements of The Last Supper.

In conjunction with Arlington UMC and Mt. Zion UMC, we stand together at the foot of the cross to witness the extent of God’s love.

April 18: Good Friday 7pm, Arlington UMC

Begins April 27

The resurrected Christ is no longer here on this Earth, yet we remain. Teresa of Avila, a 16th century Carmelite nun, suggests that we are called to represent Christ and embody him in the world as his hands, his feet, his eyes. What do we do as representatives?  How are we to embody what Christ offers to us? Join us as this new series begins on April 27.
