You are invited to join us at 6:15pm on Wednesday, March 2, as we gather together in-person and virtually to mark the beginning of our Lenten journey together. We will gather for prayer, song, scripture, the imposition of ashes, and the experience of introducing our Lenten theme, "Good Enough."

We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility–climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to evermore-likable social media accounts. We may comb the shelves of the self-help section in search of just the right formula to gain success. Perhaps we even gravitate towards spiritual leaders who promise great rewards if we only do “the right thing.” But life happens, right? Most times we are not moving upward but trying to repair the rung we’ve just slipped from. So what if we stopped climbing and started fertilizing, watering, and blooming right where we find ourselves? Welcome to a Lent of affirming a faith in which we are blessed, regardless, and where we can lean into embracing our “good enough” lives.

This season of Lent, we will engage a worship series informed by Kate Bowler’s new book, Good Enough. Dr. Bowler is a professor at Duke University who, at 35, was unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, causing her to think in different terms about the research and beliefs she had been studying. She penned the New York Times bestselling memoir, Everything Happens for a Reason (and Other Lies I’ve Loved), which tells the story of her struggle to understand the personal and intellectual dimensions of the American belief that all tragedies are tests of character.

On Thursdays during Lent, we will gather by Zoom from 6:00 to 7:00pm to discuss readings from Kate Bowler's book of devotions, "Good Enough" and to join together in compline (evening prayer.) You can join us in our "virtual parlor," using the link below.

The Nehemiah Action is back in person this year!  

On Monday, March 28, at 7:00 PM we will gather with 1,800 people of faith from 20 other churches all over Palm Beach County at the Palm Beach County Convention Center to hold our public officials responsible for the problem of homelessness in our county.

As we seek to make positive changes in our community, our goal this year is to turn out 100 people. You should be invited by one of our Justice Ministry Network Members. If you need a ride, we will be car pooling from the church. We are looking forward to doing justice together!

Rev. Nelson Stone is leading a class on Dominic Crossan’s book on the Lord’s Prayer, The Greatest Prayer, via Zoom on Wednesday evenings at 6:30. If you would like to participate, email him at nstone812@gmail.com.
