Eastertide

Eastertide is a fifty day celebration between Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost. During this season, the altar is dressed in white to symbolize Christ’s triumph over darkness, sorrow, sin, and death. Golden communion vessels represent our joy as we celebrate Jesus’ victory over the grave. And the vibrant colors of the flowers remind us that the power that raised Christ from the dead is still at work redeeming and renewing this world and each of our lives.

Colossians: The Goodness of Christ

Written in the first decades of the early church’s life, the epistle to the Colossians holds out a vision of life in Christ that is simple, hopeful, and above all, good. In our exploration of this text, we aim to celebrate the way of Jesus that bears good and beautiful fruit—wisdom, unity, fullness, life—and that opens doors to encourage ongoing discovery of ever more goodness. Our hope is that this series helps us to hold our lives with joy, peace, gratitude, simplicity and hope.
