This Sunday, we continue our RHYTHMS series with a discussion on Sabbath. What does keeping the Sabbath mean for today? Are Christians even supposed to observe the Sabbath? And if so, how and when? If you want to do some pre-work, here's an excellent resource by our friends at the Bible Project with a short video, blog post, podcast and Scripture readings.

Life together in community is both deeply rewarding and deeply challenging. Currently, COVID has created the conditions whereby we are out of the habit of this basic discipline. What does it mean for us as individuals, as a faith community, and as a culture to re-engage in a rhythm of community life together?

Oops! Sorry to those who were watching our brand new Sunday AM live stream option over on Telus Optik TV channel 878. Unfortunately, we set it up to time out at 60 minutes and the gathering lasted a bit longer (you know those pastor-types :)) so you got cut off abruptly at the end. We'll work to resolve that for next weekend. (Other that this, we welcome your feedback on this new initiative).

Some people have a practice of fasting for Lent. What’s the purpose and importance of fasting? Is there a difference between intermittent fasting for my health and fasting for spiritual purposes? Do I have to fast only from food or can I give up other stuff? (like Facebook). Join us for a discussion on what to do and what not to do with regards to this overlooked but dynamic spiritual practice. https://www.jerichoridge.com/sermon/understanding-fasting/

In Matthew 6:17, Jesus says "when you fast..." (implying that His followers will engage with this ancient practice). But the HOW and WHEN to fast are not spelled out as clearly. Join us Sunday, Feb 14 at 10:30 AM PST for a discussion on this spiritual practice as we move into the season of Lent.

A ballad from Pastor Brad for the Long Weekend: “Oh the weather outside is frightful, but inside Open Gym it’s so delightful. And since we’re online anyway, let it snow, let it snow, let us snow!”
