Wednesday Nights on Center Street
We are excited to launch Wednesday night on Center Street again for the Lenten season. We’ll meet for dinner from 5-5:45 pm, followed by programming at 6-7 pm. Bible With Brittany: The Book of Esther The Small and the Mighty Roundtable Worship: Current Political Climate Interfaith Conversations (First Week Only) Kids – First Arts with Ms. Shannon!
This class is for teens and adults! Explore the harrowing and inspiring book of Esther through discussion, creativity, and fun! Short weekly readings are provided but not required. This class is open to adults and youth.
In today’s turbulent world, it’s essential to take a moment to remember those who have contributed to making the world more just, peaceful, good, and free. Rev. Natasha will lead us through Sharon McMahon’s book, The Small and the Mighty. This book highlights twelve ordinary Americans whose courage helped shape the character of our country. McMahon proves that the most extraordinary Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks.
Join us for an intentional space of song, prayer, and conversation to process our current experiences of the political climate. Roundtable Worship is an opportunity to engage in meaningful and thoughtful conversation in an intentional way. Roundtable Worship is a restorative justice practice that seeks to bring people together across varying opinions, theologies, and ideologies to know one another’s experience of being human. The experience will be led by Rev. Haley, our Pastor of Community Engagement and a licensed social worker, and Rev. Mary Jane Cole, our Spiritual Director in Residence. Gathering in circle as a community is a powerful tool for holding space for all the emotions that we’ve been given as beloved children of God. Come ready to listen to your neighbor or utilize your voice if you feel moved. Above all, come open to the way God’s grace moves deeply when we sit in circle together. Please Note: Week One we will be attending the Interfaith Conversations.
Rev. Patricia Matthews, Executive Director of The Interfaith Center will lead a discussion on the importance of interfaith relationships and dialog in 2025. Come hear how the Interfaith Center is helping foster meaningful relationships across religious faiths and opening lines of conversation even when the events of the world create tension. Wednesday, March 12th only.
