Be Imitators of God | The Letter to the Ephesians

IN CHRIST | The Letter to the Ephesians
The Apostle Paul found himself in prison and wrote a letter to the church in Ephesus. This church and this city was a launching point for Paul's ministry to the Mediterranean world, and this letter is a seminal work that provides a wonderful understanding of Paul's revolutionary theology.
As a reformed Pharisee, Paul intimately knows the Hebrew Scriptures. As one who encountered the living Christ, Paul has a high Christology. And it is this dynamic combination that moves Paul to emphasize an embodied theology of being IN CHRIST.
Each week we will explore a chapter - highlighting a pertinent topic. This will not be an exhaustive study of the letter to the Ephesians. It is recommended that you read along as we go.
April 12 | In Christ (ringers of peace, peace singers)
April 19 | A Dwelling Place (northern lights chorale)
April 26 | The Power at Work in Us
May 3 | Be Angry...But... (peace singers, communion)
May 10 | Be Imitators of God (ringers of peace)
May 17 | The Armor of God
May 24 | Wrap-up Conversation (OUTDOORS)

EASTER! Bodies | Resisting WINNING & Insisting CONNECTION
Tuesday Apr 07, 2026
Tuesday Apr 07, 2026
Christ is Risen | Christ is Risen Indeed!
BODIES | Resisting & Insisting
The word BODIES is multifaceted. Each one of us is a body. Collectively we comprise a body. Spiritually, we are to 'take eat, this is my body' and we are to be the body of Christ.
A BODY is also what they call you when a name is too dignifying for their hurtful purposes. Cells and cages full of bodies. Not somebodies, just bodies.
Over the course of the next 46 days, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, we will explore what it looks like for us to resist and insist that all bodies should experience good news. We will explore what it means to become a body (both communally and spiritually) that resists systemic injustice and insists on joy and generativity.
Feb 22 | Resisting Empire & Insisting Joy
Mar 1 | Resisting Lies & Insisting Reality (communion sunday)
Mar 8 | Resisting Ideology & Insisting Generativity (ringers of peace)
Mar 22 | Resisting Uniformity & Insisting Diversity (peace singers)
Mar 29 | Resisting Hierarchy & Insisting Kinship
Apr 3 | Resisting Violence & Insisting Justice (good friday)
Apr 5 | Resisting Winning & Insisting Connection (easter and communion)
