Parables

We believe that the most "special need" we all have is to have a place we know we belong.

PARABLES is romping through one of the earliest writings about Jesus this fall! Each week, in September, October, and November, folks are invited to experience the Gospel of Mark one chapter at a time together at home, using a variety of fun ways to watch and listen to the scripture’s message about who Jesus is and why his Love and Light matter more than ever.

Then, each week on Sunday, the worship message reflects a portion of the previous week’s chapter, as the community works together to capture their own impressions of that week’s chapter visually with our Praying in Color group art project.

We hope you’ll join us as we bring some new types of music to life with our fabulous pianists, and welcome back all our wonderful therapy dogs and their handlers.
