This Week's Service (Apr 27, 2025): Easter 2 - Embodied Belief

NOTE: Our in-person service now starts at 11am on Sunday mornings.

This is the 2nd Sunday of Easter, and in this week’s message, “Embodied Belief”, we are challenged to move beyond abstract beliefs and embrace a tangible faith. We often envision a perfected, pain-free resurrection, but what if true perfection is found in embracing our scars and those of others? Join us as we explore the story of the resurrected Jesus appearing with wounds, inviting Thomas—and us—to touch them, witness them, and believe through them. 

Discover how the resurrection calls us to radical love and inclusivity, especially towards those the world overlooks. We'll delve into what it means to live out our faith "with eyes, ears, and all limbs," as Martin Luther said, transforming our actions and communities to reflect Christ's transformative love. Are we creating spaces where people can show their scars—emotional, physical, spiritual—and be met with peace, not judgment? Join us as we explore this idea of embodied belief, as we worship together.
