The Butterfly Effect (9 AM)

    Have you ever taken a significant risk for the sake of another person? Five strong women do just that in the first two chapters of Exodus. From midwifery to adoption and civil disobedience to defying a parent's orders, the details surrounding  the birth of one of the great leaders in the Hebrew Bible are rich with danger and courage. Together we'll explore what it means to be a true ally and effect positive change in the world around us.

     Sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart. Living in the midst of a pandemic, most of us know this feeling all too well.Our tightly-knit plans unravel and we’re left with only loose threads. What do we become when our identity or the path we’re on comes undone?

    But what if our fears don’t become our reality? Is it possible that in our unraveling, we might come face-to-face with unexpected hope, joy and love; a new beginning we couldn’t ever have imagined? Sometimes we need God to unravel us, for we need or even long to be changed.

    This Easter season, we will explore biblical accounts of unraveled shame, identity, fear, grief, dreams, and expectations. Together, we’ll see that God can meet us in our spiraling, unraveling our plans—and us—into something new.
