The Lowdown on Meeting Jesus in a Teen Retreat…

72 kids and 26 leaders from New York to Maine gathered for a weekend at Pilgrim Pines to “Meet the Real Jesus.”

How did Jesus break through to a guy who thought he was better than everyone else (The Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18)?  How did Jesus uplift a guy who others thought was worse than everyone else (the blind man in Jericho in Luke 18)?  How did Jesus save a woman who thought she was worse than everyone else (Woman at the Well in John 4)?  How did Jesus redeem a guy who everybody agreed that they hated (Zacchaeus in Luke 19)?  Sean began and ended the retreat.  Bishop Drew and I took the middle talks.  Volunteers leaned in.  We couldn’t have done it without them.

The God of the Atoms: Why Easter is an Avalanche of Love, Not a Ghost Story

We begin this morning in the pre-dawn gray of a garden, walking alongside a group of women who are carrying the heaviest weight a human being can bear. Luke 24 tells us they came "very early in the morning," carrying spices they had prepared. We must understand the heartbreak of those spices; you do not bring spices to a wedding, a baptism or a birthday party—you bring them to a corpse. Those spices were the "perfume of decay." They represent the resigned acceptance that death is the final word, and that the "laws of the grave" are the only laws that truly matter.

Dandelion Worship & Artist Retreat!

We are building community with artists who want to use the arts to share the grace of Jesus with those outside the church.  Of course, we want to bring healing and encouragement to those inside the church too.  But when you aim beyond yourselves, you end up doing both!
