Ever wondered why we celebrate Easter for 50 days? Join Hannah and Leslie to hear about the 50 days of Easter and the events we have scheduled to celebrate this year at Narrate!

This week's scripture: 

Psalm 126

John 11v55-12v8

This story feels like an invitation to ponder and reflect on the fact that Jesus was not a victim of circumstance. While his friends remained mostly in the dark about where things were headed, Jesus was clear and was intent on following God to and through that place. Perhaps it serves to remind us of the simple but demanding task of trusting Jesus. We don't have to have perfect clarity and cunning strategic planning, we can rest in God's leadership and our commitment to play whatever role He has for us in His grand story.

We decided to start sitting down with members of our worship team to hear more about their story! If you've come to a Sunday gathering at Narrate, chances are you've seen Theresa Anderson singing, playing the keyboard, or both! She is a one of the original members of the team who has been helping to lead music at Narrate for over 16 years, and we are immensely grateful for her.  Hear more about her story in Christ and about the musical gifts He's given her. 

This week's scriptures:

Psalm 32

Luke 15v1-3, 11-32

This week Adam explores the idea of oneness and separateness with God being built into the fabric of creation. What if God's desire to leave room for you to decide is real? What if God has an imagination for faithful well-differentiated people?

When Adam is not teaching in a series, he is teaching from the scripture found in the Lectionary. What is the Lectionary? Adam and Leslie discuss the Lectionary as a tool and some options for how to access it.

This week's scripture: 

Psalm 63v1-8 

Luke 13v1-9

This week, Adam explores the 40 days of Lent as an opportunity to give the Holy Spirit space to awaken us to a possible collision course we may be on in our lives. During Lent, we're reminded our great hope is the mercy of God, but our responsibility is nothing less than following Jesus wherever He leads.

Exciting news! Our children's pastor, Lexsey is expecting another baby! Lexsey does a fantastic job leading our Narrate Kids program and will be taking her maternity leave in July. Hear about her plan to keep things running smoothly while she is away and about available volunteer positions if you feel called to help out. 

This week's scriptures:

Psalm 27 & 2 Corinthians 12v7b-10

This week Kimberly Collins joins us to talk about the Enneagram! The Enneagram is an ancient personality test that talks about how we view the world. The season of Lent can be a wonderful time to take stock of your relationships and how you show up in the world. Kimberly is an expert in her field and an avid follower of Christ. Listen to her inspiring message of accepting yourself and the love God has for you.

Scattering to serve our community is one of Narrate's core values. One of our main scattering events each year is Helena Ales for Trails which raises money to build new trails. Adam sits down with Chase Krywaruchka & Chris Charlton of Phat Tracks Trail Company to talk through the Scratch Gravel Trail Project where the last two years of Ales for Trails proceeds have gone. 

This week's scriptures:

Psalm 91v1-2,9-16 

Luke 4v1-13

If the saboteur prevails, what will he have said? What ideas will have landed? With that in mind, what's the value of knowing what "it will sound like" and having an animating scriptural antidote on the ready?
