Encountering the Messiah

12/28/2025 - 1/15/2026

In the beginning of John’s Gospel, Jesus’ ministry is launched with his baptism by John. These stories represent a series of first encounters: Jesus’ first interaction with the disciples, his first miracle, and his first conflict with the religious establishment. While these early stories in the Gospel reveal Jesus’ power and his call to discipleship, they also set up questions regarding his true identity as Jesus hints—even now—that he is headed to the cross.

  1. Held by Grace: A Wesleyan Covenant Service - 01/04/2026

    The beginning of a new year often brings pressure—to do better, try harder, or finally get things right.This service offers something different. Today, we gather for a Wesleyan Covenant Service, a time-honored practice rooted in trust, surrender, and grace. Rather than making promises we are unsure we can keep, we place ourselves once again in God’s care, trusting not in our strength, but in God’s faithfulness. Through prayer, scripture, and the Covenant Prayer, we remember that our lives belong to a gracious God who holds us, leads us, and goes with us into whatever the year ahead may bring. This service is quiet, reflective, and deeply grounding—a chance to begin the year not striving, but resting in grace.All are welcome, whether this practice is familiar or entirely new.

  3. A Miracle at the Edge of a Crisis - 01/11/2026
