This Week at BayMarin, February 26, 2017
Current Series

We continue our series through the book of Philippians leading up to Paul's powerful poetic  incarnational  words about Jesus who "Made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." Join us as we explore what it looks like to be  incarnational  beings ourselves as servants in the way of Jesus.

Creative Interfaces Event

Five writers from our Storyline Writers Workshops will be sharing their poetry, personal essays, and excerpts of stories.  These events have become something of a tradition around here and they're a lot of fun.  The reading will be followed by a reception for the writers.  Bring a friend and come join us!

When:  Saturday Feb 25, 7-9pm
Where:  Cedar House - 1637  5th Ave, San Rafael


Ash Wednesday Service

Join us for our Ash Wednesday service on March 1 at 7pm. We will be kicking off our Lenten series that night and explore as a community how this season can be a helpful way to become less self-reliant and more Christ-reliant.
Lenten Contemplative Practice

This Lent, we want to experience the journey of Lent together as a community. One way for us to do that is to gather each Sunday of Lent at 8:45am in the Student Center and engage in a contemplative practice together. We will be meditating and reflecting on the biblical passage that we will explore together during the service each Sunday. Please join us the six Sundays of Lent - March 5 through April 9. No RSVP required.

IF: Gathering
What IF we returned to the simple ways of the early church?

Hillside Church of Corte Madera is warmly inviting women from all over Marin, to gather with women all over the world, to participate in an amazing 2-day retreat. It's live worship. It's video streaming of the actual gathering in Austin, Texas complete with inspiring teaching, stories, and invitations for discussion. It's good food sponsored by Gilead House. It's an opportunity to meet other Christian women in the county. It's a chance to rest and refresh. It would be lovely if a group of BayMarin women could go together! Tickets are $26, which includes Friday dessert and Saturday lunch, snacks, and beverages. Contact Laurie at [email protected] with questions, or simply register!
 
Friday, 3 March from 7:00 - 10:00pm and Saturday, 4 March from 8:30 - 4:00.
