Pastor Chris Seay continues a brief series guiding us toward Resurrection
Sunday; exploring the things that Jesus did during the night he was
betrayed. A curious detail tells us that Jesus sang a hymn with the
disciples before departing to the Garden. Chris invites us to consider the

February 28, 2021 Ecclesiastes: While We're Young
Pastor Chris Seay concludes our series in Ecclesiastes, as Solomon honestly
reflects upon his failures and calls us to learn from the wisdom of his
experience. When we commit to being real with God, with ourselves, and with
others, we help to cultivate space for others to do the same, and to create
communities of truth and trust.

February 21, 2021 Ecclesiastes: 32 Degrees
In the wake of the widespread impact felt by Winter Storm Uri, Pastor Sean
Palmer continues our time together in the wisdom and mystery of the Book of
Ecclesiastes with a timely reminder that none of us are immune to disaster
and suffering. We are called to be a people with instinctual empathy and
solidarity in these inevitable times of trial, while also living fully and
joyfully in these fleeting days under the sun.

February 14, 2021 Ecclesiastes: On Balance
Pastor Chris continues our time engaging with the wisdom found in the Book
of Ecclesiastes. As we look ahead to the season of Lent, traditionally a
time of abstaining, you might be keenly aware of the things which have
already been given up over the course of a challenging year. Chris urges us
to shift our perspective about this invitation into fasting, and enter into
these “solemn” weeks with surprising joy and gratitude.

February 07, 2021 Ecclesiastes: If One Falls
Pastor Chris continues to walk us through key lessons from the Book of
Ecclesiastes. As many of us seek to establish and practice new rhythms, the
wisdom of Solomon reminds us that satisfaction will not be found in what we
can accumulate or achieve, but primarily in the relationships that we have
the opportunity to nurture.

January 31, 2021 Ecclesiastes: Vapor
Pastor Sean Palmer continues the conversation we began last week; engaging
with the book of Ecclesiastes and what it reveals about our search for
meaning and purpose in life. Will we cling to the things we know will fade,
or turn our attention and energy toward the things that will outlive these
days under the sun?

January 24, 2021 Starting Over
As we continue seeking God’s direction to meet both the possibilities and
the challenges of this new year, Pastor Chris invites us to examine our own
patterns which are so often repeated and leave us feeling stuck. Learning
from the past, and committing anew to discipline in the present, we pray
for Jesus to show us the way as we step with trust into the days and months
ahead.
