Beth Graybill with Community Members
During Lent, we’re reflecting on the ways that life often calls us to let go, which can sometimes feel a bit like loss or dying. We’re on our way to Good Friday and Easter, remembering Jesus’ death and resurrection, knowing that he walks with us in those small deaths.
This weekend we heard from a couple in our community who has been with us since they beginning. They shared their stories of love, loss, and faith over the course of a lifetime.

In our most recent Sunday teaching, we explored gender as a theological category and a personal experience. One part of that teaching included a consideration of transgender identity. In this episode, we wanted to have a conversation with a transgender person who could speak from their own experience. Miche van Essen is a Trans, AAPI, Jewish woman that is thinking & writing about inclusive leadership in faith organizations.

As we work our way through the Apostles’ Creed, we’ve been reminded that the story it tells is a story we carry together as a church. This weekend, we’re continuing to hear stories from the people who put the “We” in “We believe…”
