Following our service of prayer and lament on March 17, we want to turn those cries toward a time of invocation. Join us on April 3 as we pray over the concerns and needs of our church, partners, and neighbors.

Everyone is invited to join, whether you are engaged in a lenten fast or not.

On Sunday, March 30, our Middle and High School students will enjoy competitive games, fellowship, and good food! This is a great opportunity to invite friends. See you there!

*Doors open at 6:15 PM

Join us for an afternoon of contemplation and embodied practices at The Intown Retreat. Our time together will include a teaching from Claudia Lewis on learning to embrace our bodies, a nourishing yoga class (no prior yoga experience necessary!), time for reflection and prayer, and the opportunity to try out sauna/cold plunge. We’ll also have light refreshments and time for fellowship. 

We recognize that Lent is a time of removing obstacles, creating space and of letting go of things that keep us from God. But often it is hard to even find the time to step away and consider where we might need more space, and often our own negative self-perception or disembodied living can be a distraction from the life God is calling us to. Take a few hours to reconnect with your body and soul in order to better hear God’s will for this Lenten season and beyond.

The Intown Retreat is a brand new yoga studio and day spa in downtown Decatur whose mission is to cultivate a holistic, inclusive sanctuary where wellness, community, and self-care intersect. They hold a deep belief that true wellness is found in connection — to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

Be our guest! The hospitality ministry invites all hospitality volunteers (communion, coffee, greeters, ambassadors, and registration desk) to an afternoon of lunch, vision, training, and collaboration. 

Childcare is available upon request.

Join the Thursday Morning Women’s Group on a spiritual journey through seven different kinds of fasts, including fasting from control, from our attachments, from rushing, and more. When we practice these fasts, we can discover answers to deeper questions about our true hunger. As we fast from being strong, holding it all together, and seeking certainty, we can softly reorient ourselves toward that which nourishes and fulfills us, for the reflective Lenten season and beyond.

“The absence of lament in the liturgy of the American Church results in the loss of memory.” - Soong-Chan Rah.

The first months of 2025 have left many in our community and our world feeling disoriented. In such times, Scripture’s prophetic witness points us toward the practices of fasting and lament. Lament challenges us to acknowledge real suffering and to carry our pain and sorrow to God. Fasting is pleading with our bodies for God to intervene.

Join us for a time of worship, fasting, liturgy, and group prayer as we carry our laments to God during this season of Lent in preparation for the hope of Easter.

Everyone is invited to participate whether you are fasting or not.

We are excited to offer Connected Families’ Grace & Truth for Moms led by Taylor Irby. This small group course will meet on Sundays during the 9:00 AM service from March 2-30. 

Have you ever felt stuck in negative patterns with your children? Do anger, anxiety, or other emotions like shame or discouragement plague your interactions with your kids? If so, Mama, you’re not alone! We want you to get to the root of difficult emotions and interactions in parenting so you can be set free by the grace and truth God has for you. 

This course was designed around authentic fellowship with other moms. Gather with your friends and explore what it means to have grace and truth for your child AND YOURSELF! You’ll be more confident as a parent, have more grace for yourself and your kids, and be better equipped to make faith the bedrock of your parenting.

Join us for a special “Lent Edition” of our monthly women’s EvenPsalm gathering. Like always, we’ll spend contemplative time with Scripture and prayer, focusing this month on the Lenten practice of releasing things in our lives that keep us from God. By letting go of things that are depleting, we are able to make more space to embrace what is life-giving and to nourish our true hunger. We hope you’ll join us for an evening of exploration, discussion, and encouragement.
