Join us this Sunday as we begin our Lenten series, everything [in] between

meeting God in the midst of extremes

When studied as a whole, it’s clear to see how Jesus’ ministry was rooted in relationships that disrupted the established social, political, and religious divisions of his time. He went out of his way to highlight the polarities of his culture in order to emphasize the radically inclusive love of God.

This Lenten season, we’ll be looking at several familiar biblical stories, which have often been perceived as presenting a tension between opposing binaries – the extremes of either/or.

Yet, we’ll also see that Jesus sought to bring nuance and complexity to these false dichotomies in order to show that God is present in between them as well – the common ground of both/and.

Join us this Lent, as we look beyond black and white binaries and easy answers to find the God who meets us everywhere [in] between.

stranger & neighbor

Luke 10:25-37

25 An expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” 27 He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.” 29 But wanting to vindicate himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and took off, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan while traveling came upon him, and when he saw him he was moved with compassion. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, treating them with oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him, and when I come back I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Ready for some good news? Our church attendance has grown…which means we need more parking spaces near the east end of the building. We are asking that those who can easily walk into church to please park on the south and west side of the church parking lot. Please leave the east side of the parking lot open for those those with mobility challenges. Thank you!

Lenten Book Studies

"The Wood Between the Worlds"

Tuesdays 6:30pm

Join us during Lent as we work through Brian Zahnd’s book, “The Wood Between the Worlds.” Using art, poetry, and literature, we will contemplatively dive into the theology of the cross. Looking at the crucifixion in new and imaginative ways, we will discover how it reveals God through the “mystery of Christ in its multilayered meanings."

Let’s meditate on the meaning of the cross as we prepare to celebrate new life in Christ’s resurrection and what that means for our community and world today.

We will meet in fellowship hall (Woven space) on Tuesdays @ 630 p.m. beginning March 4th. Books are $10. Click Here to register.

"The Final Days of Christ"

Tuesday 10:00am

Discover the abundant, diverse and complementary picture of God's work in the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus through the lens of each of the four gospels. Books are $10. The study will be held in Rm. 3.

Please email Pastor Wendy at pastorwendy@risenlordlc.org or sign up in the entryway.

Two Film Screenings for "Food, Insecure" at The Common Place

Sunday, March 16 at 10:45 - Noon in Rm #3

Tuesday, March, 18 at 10 - 11am in Rm #3

Indiana faces a crisis. Nearly a million Hoosiers, many of them working families with children, struggle to put healthy food on the table. Food, Insecure is a powerful 30-minute documentary that sheds light on this all-too-real issue and its solutions.

Ministries that address food insecurity are important to the congregations at The Common Place--Risen Lord and Tapestry. We hope you can join us for one of the two viewings of the 30-minute documentary with community discussion to follow as we learn more together.

Save the Date - What is the Enneagram?

On April 11 & 12, Cory Glover will be leading a special educational class on the Enneagram. The Enneagram is an ancient tool that helps us answer the questions: who am I and why do I do the things I do?

Literally, “enneagram” means a drawing with nine points; but, more importantly, it illustrates a dynamic model of nine observably different, yet interconnected, character types – each reflecting nine different ways of seeing and being in the world.

Unlike other personality profiles, the Enneagram moves us deeper into reflection, highlighting the ways we can get lost on our spiritual journey and how to find our way back home to our true selves.

This introductory workshop will be split into Friday night and Saturday morning, which will allow us to have time to process the information of Friday night before digging deeper on Saturday morning.

Please save the date and make plans to join us!

Staying Connected

Chair yoga offers a healthy avenue for flexibility and mobility, making it accessible for all ages and abilities.

I look forward to seeing you there and stretching together!

March Outreach

Outreach Donations for March are for the Indian Creek Braves Food Pantry. The needed items help students and families in the Trafalgar Community. With the increasing price of food and household products it is difficult for some families/students to afford basic staple items. We are collecting applesauce, canned fruit, fruit cups, laundry detergent, as well as feminine hygiene products.

M&Ms

M&Ms (Mary & Martha) women’s group will meet on March 11th at 11AM. Lesson this month is on Miriam and Mari and will be led by Rhonda Tipton. Refreshments will be provided by Bea Baron. Please remember to bring feminine hygiene products for the Indian Creek Braves Food Pantry. All women of the church are invited to attend.

Meet-n-Eat

Have you been wanting to connect with other church members? Do you love to eat? If the answer is YES then we have a great opportunity for you! Our Meet-n-Eat Groups are designed to help church members get to know one another a little better while sharing a meal. Sign-ups will be for the next three weeks by either completing the online form (CLICK HERE) or signing up on Sunday at the check-in area. Groups will be created based on the information given at sign-up. Groups will be encouraged to meet a minimum of three times over the Spring/Summer months. How and when groups meet will be determined by the Meet-n-Eat group members. We hope you will consider signing up and getting to know the Tapestry family!
