Our Lenten journey this year centers on Lent as Resistance, drawing from the conviction that faith, rooted in Scripture and shaped by the life of Jesus, confronts injustice, tells the truth, and nurtures hope. One way of gathering during Lent will be our midweek study, Faith-Full Resistors, where we’ll engage stories of people throughout history whose faith compelled them to resist oppression, reflecting, praying, and discerning what love-shaped resistance looks like today. 

You’re invited to a Lenten gathering of nourishment and renewal. As we enter this sacred season, join us for rest, connection, grounding, and nourishment during this season. We’ll share soup and bread as we engage in spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, lectio & visio divina, repentance, and reflection.

Join us in growing our understanding of typical and not typical aging, dementia, and learning skills to recognize and connect effectively and respectfully with people living with dementia and those impacted.

Crafty people! We are beginning Crafternoon, a monthly gathering to foster meaningful relationships through working on and sharing our crafts, led by Anne Shantz. ​​As we craft in a shared space, we hope to create the opportunity to share our stories, lighten each other's loads, and find meaningful friendship in the divine gift of creation and creating. We will meet on the fourth Sunday of every month, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM in the Fireside Room. Our first meeting will be on Feb 22; please bring any craft you'd like to work on and any nut-free snacks you'd like to share. If you have any questions, please reach out to Brian Fu.

Join us as we enter into the season of Lent by acknowledging our mortality before God and one another.

For those joining on-site, we will be marked on our heads or our hands with ashes in the sign of a cross, following the ancient ritual, and reflect on the ways we can turn towards God for the sake of the world. (Childcare available)

For our online community, we will have a video devotion of guided reflection and meditation.

Join us for a time of fun and connection with friends old and new at The Stoup in Kenmore! We’ll provide appetizers, you take care of your own beverages. See you there!
