Sermon Series: The Silent Years

There was a time period between Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the Damascus road and his beginning of his ministry in the name of Jesus. Sometimes called “The Silent Years,” these were years where Saul wrestled through his understanding of God, of himself, of the church, of the Scriptures and how that would impact how he lived moving forward. This year during our Lenten season we are going to take an opportunity to do the same, to put down that which distracts us in this world and take the opportunity to rest in the Lord and be refreshed by Him, reflecting on reality in light of Him.

What is our Mission?

Sunday, March 24th

What are we supposed to be doing here on earth as we await the return of Jesus? What is our mission? Our purpose? Join us this week as we talk about the mission of God’s people in light of Christ, the Messiah.

Weekly Wondering Packets (including Daily Prayers, Digging Deeper Guide and coordinating Life Group Curriculum) are available each week on Sunday to further explore this Sermon Series. You can find those resources (for this week and ALL previous weeks) HERE or at the Welcome Center on Sunday.

Adventure:Kids News

This Sunday marks Palm Sunday! Our Adventure:Kids will start off downstairs as usual, then head upstairs to wave palm branches and sing. No practice needed - every child can join in on the fun! Afterwards, they will return downstairs for their lesson on "Jesus Was Crucified."

Key Passage: "Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” -Revelation 5:13

We can't wait to see you this Sunday!

Sermon notes and challenges for families are available on the Adventure:Kids Facebook page, OR click here for a pdf version.

Holy Week

Sunday, March 24 - Sunday March 31

Please consider coming to any or all of these services and experiences and inviting friends, neighbors, and family to join us. We can’t wait to reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in all the ways the focus of this holy week call us to. Join us in praying expectantly for the ways God will draw us to himself through these opportunities.

Palm Sunday Service - Sunday, March 24th at 10am

Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate Jesus' entry into Jerusalem as he was greeted with the waving of palm branches amidst shouts of "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" (John 12:13). Our Adventure Kids will participate in a palm branch procession and songs during service.

Maundy Thursday Dinner Service - Thursday, March 28th at 6pm

“Maundy” stems from a Latin word meaning commandment and correlates to the evening Jesus washed the disciples feet and celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples. Join us for an experiential service, including optional foot washing stations, dinner, scripture readings following that Biblical night, and participatory communion as we focus on Jesus' command to love one another. Kids are welcome and there are some interactive pieces for them, however it is aimed at being a more reflective service. We're working on an at-home version of this service for those that want to join us a different way!

Good Friday Experience - Friday, March 29th from 4pm-7pm

This is the day we commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus. 

Our Good Friday is focused on the Stations of the Cross. Join us if you'd like to explore, experience, and reflect more fully on the importance of this night and on the suffering of Christ as we journey with him to the cross. There are interactive elements and reflective prompts to walk through on your own, with a friend, or with your family. This is a great opportunity for kids to participate... help them experience this and explain the parts as you go! This experience will be held in the Friendship Center, and there will be booklets and clear signage to help you navigate each step of the way. Expect this experience to take about 30-45 minutes, and you are welcome to do it at any point in the three hours it is open.

Good Friday Service - Friday, March 29th at 7pm

This is the day we commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus. 

Join us for this reflective service as we travel from the Garden to the Cross. This service includes an experiential aspect of lights dimming, and opportunities for kids to engage as we progress throughout the night.

This service will be broadcast live, but due to the participatory nature of this service, and the lights dimming as the service progresses, our livestream will be simple and likely more listening along than watching at times. Kids are welcome at this service, and we have intentional ways for them to participate with us as the lights dim. The nursery will not be staffed, but will be available for personal use as needed and a live broadcast will be available in that room.

Easter Sunday Services - Sunday, March 31st at 9am & 11am

Easter is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! 

Praise the Lord, He Is Risen!

Join us in praise and worship on this very Holy Day!

Kids are welcome in the main service or welcome in our Adventure:Kids classes downstairs. If you plan to invite a friend, neighbor, or anyone else, please send them this link to register their kids before Easter Sunday. This is a one time only form, just to get their child's info in our system for check in: https://faithadventure.breezechms.com/form/AdventureKids

Passover Dinner

Wednesday, April 10th from 5:30-7:30pm

Passover is known as a celebration of freedom. Traditionally, Jews celebrate the freedom that was given to the Israelite people through the rescuing from enslavement in Egypt. As Christians, we can celebrate freedom in this story from long ago, and also the freedom from sin, death, and oppressive powers of the present evil age given to us through Jesus' death and resurrection. The same God who freed the Israelites from Egypt sent His Son to rescue us from sin, and the Holy Spirit to actively battle evil in this world today. He is worthy of our praise, so let us celebrate freedom together! 

Passover is an interactive experience, it immerses us in Jewish traditions and culture while we pray, eat, worship, and celebrate. Plan to learn, eat good food, drink a lot of grape juice, and enjoy great company. We hope that this experience will also help you prepare to possibly host your own Passover dinner. We look forward to celebrating Passover with you!

The suggested donation for this event is $5-10 per person, or $15-25 dollars for families with 3 or more people. This can be paid via cash or check at the door. We do not want the suggested donation to be a barrier to your attendance, please email Callie so that we can ensure you can participate.

Please register for this event HERE

This section is a weekly reminder that God is Good!

He is good to us every single day & we will praise His name!

Thanks to all who came and helped last Saturday at the Spring Clean Up. Those that came worked hard and got a lot done to take care of our church! And what a beautiful day it was to do that work, God is Good!

This space in the newsletter is a small way we continue to celebrate the goodness of God all year long, and practice being aware of His presence in our lives. So, if you have stories of God's goodness big or small, hit reply to this email and send them our way. We would love to hear them, pray in praise over them and talk to you about sharing them.

To spur your thoughts to God's goodness start by asking yourself these questions:

What Good have you witnessed recently?

What Good has God brought into your life?

What Good has God prompted you to do for one another?



God is Good!!
