Join us this season of Lent as we explore relentless hope in the face of a relentless world.
...
Let us agree for now
that we will not say the breaking makes us stronger
or that it is better to have this pain
than to have done without this love.
Let us promise
we will not tell ourselves time will heal the wound,
when every day our waking opens it anew.
Perhaps for now it can be enough
to simply marvel at the mystery
of how a heart so broken can go on beating,
as if it were made for precisely this—
as if it knows the only cure for love is more of it,
as if it sees the heart’s sole remedy
for breaking is to love still,
as if it trusts that its own relentless pulse
is the rhythm of a blessing we cannot begin to fathom
but will save us nonetheless.

The Thad's Community of Creatives meets the first Sunday of every month to celebrate the creative process and share our creative gifts and musings.
This month (Feb 7), we are honored to have Stephen McAuley share his creative journey in the field of gaming and rendering computer graphics.
Grab a cup of coffee and join us on zoom at 8:30 am. If you have any creative art work you'd like to share, we will have time for that during the first 15 minutes. Feel free to invite your friends!
All are welcome. Hope to see you there!

All February long, we'll be collecting sandwiches to donate to NoHo Home Alliance, for our neighbors in need.
The particulars:
1) Make any kind of sandwich you'd like, as many as you'd like. (While gloved and masked, please!)
2) Wrap 'em - Ziploc, plastic wrap, etc.
3) Drop them off: meet us at The Willows School (8520 Warner Dr, Culver City, CA 90232) every Sunday in February between 12:30 & 1 pm.
An easy way to spread some love, feed our neighbors, and make a difference.

Despite the self-protective impulses that lead us to hide from one another - and ourselves - in various ways, it is often in the vulnerability of authenticity that we find our true authority and transformative power. Compassion for our true selves - the ones we sometimes want to hide away - creates compassion for others, too.
Join us this Sunday @10 on Zoom. Let's talk about it together.

Join us, as usual, at 10 am for our Sunday service. We'll hear from John the Baptist, imploring us to prepare God's Way, and wonder together how to bring the future into the present.

A contextual prayer for our daily lives.
"A sacrament is when something holy happens. . . . [When] you are apt to catch a glimpse of the almost unbearable preciousness and mystery of life. Needless to say, church isn’t the only place where the holy happens. Sacramental moments can occur at any moment, any place, and to anybody. Watching something get born. Making love. A high-school graduation. Somebody coming to see you when you’re sick. A meal with people you love. Looking into a stranger’s eyes and finding out he’s not a stranger. If we weren’t blind as bats, we might see that life itself is sacramental.”
