Unraveled: Sin, Grace, and New Life

Something's not right, and we all feel it. In ourselves. In our relationships. In the world around us. Things keep coming undone.

Lent is the season when the church gets honest about that. We don't pretend everything's fine. We don't offer quick fixes or easy answers. Instead, we sit in the tension of a world that's fraying at the edges and ask: Is there a way through this?

This Lent, we're following Paul's letter to the Romans through the unraveling, naming the brokenness we usually avoid, discovering faith that survives the ruins, and finding hope that somehow holds when everything else falls apart. Along the way, we'll encounter a grace that doesn't just forgive the past but makes new life possible right now.

If you've ever wondered whether Christianity has anything honest to say about the mess we're in or whether resurrection is more than just something that happened once to one person two thousand years ago, this series is for you.

The links below includes reflections from people in our own congregation. They are your neighbors, your Sunday School classmates, the person who hands you a bulletin or sits three rows behind you. They've been brave enough to put pen to paper and share a piece of their journey with you.

Some of these devotions will comfort you. Some will challenge you. A few might make you a little uncomfortable, which, if we're being honest, is the whole point of Lent. This is a season that invites us to sit with the hard stuff, to resist the urge to skip straight to Easter morning without walking the longer, harder road that gets us there.

So here we go. Forty days. One day at a time. Together.

We're planning to celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism on Easter Sunday, April 5, and we'd love for you to be part of it. Whether you're considering baptism for the first time, thinking about baptism for your child, or were baptized years ago and want to reaffirm those vows and make them your own, there's a place for you.

Reach out to schedule a time to meet with one of our pastors. We're here for that conversation wherever you are on the journey.

Every one of us has a story about how God has shown up in our lives, sometimes in the big, dramatic moments, but more often in the quiet, unexpected ones. And those stories? They matter not just to you, but to someone sitting in these pews or watching online who needs to hear that they're not alone.

We're inviting you to share your video testimony. We'll sit down with you, make it easy, and help you tell your story in your own words. Just you being real about what God has done in your life.

When we're done, that video will be a keepsake for you and your family. Something your kids and grandkids can hold onto for years to come. But it's also a gift to this church and to people who might be on the fence about this whole faith thing. Your honesty might be the very thing that helps someone else take the next step.

Sign up today and let's tell your story together.
