Attachment with God, wk 5 (The Nurturant God)

Relax and enjoy the service! As shocking as it may sound coming from a church, we think you’ll enjoy a healthy sense of humor and humility while you’re with us! You are free to participate (or not) to whatever degree you feel comfortable.

We started this church to help people connect with God, find spiritual health & community, and contribute to justice & healing in the world — especially people who feel more comfortable in progressive settings, rather than religious settings. Our guide is Jesus. There are settings that present “faith in Jesus” as an exclusive thing, but our experience of Jesus is entirely different.

For centuries people have sung together to slow down from the pace of life and encounter God at an emotional level. Our music ranges from chill and contemplative to upbeat and lively. Feel free to sing along and engage, or just sit back and appreciate the space.

Our speakers will share from their personal experiences of spirituality and trying to follow Jesus, from both ancient traditions and modern social sciences, and from the Bible.

Sharing bread and a cup invites us to consider Jesus’ death on a cross. Jesus’ Cross is not about satisfying the wrath of an angry God. It is about a God who walks into the suffering, limitations, and neediness of humanity, who doesn’t run from the hardest things of life, but who walks through them with us.
