This Lent, our theme Tell Me Something Good invites us to return to the roots of Jesus’ radical good news which was about liberation, mercy, love, and grace. "Radical" comes from the Latin word “radicalis,” meaning “root” or “ground.” Therefore, the good news of Jesus should bring us back to our roots that ground us in who God created us to be. The good news is truly good: joyful like fine wine, growing like a mustard seed, fragrant as poured perfume, and nourishing as bread shared with the hungry—alive, embodied, and meant to be lived. In a world saturated with bad news, may we be people who let this living gospel root us deeply and move us to become good news ourselves.
About the Logo
The logo is rooted, literally, in earthy textures and tree imagery, symbolizing how Jesus’ teachings ground us in the good news while calling us to grow outward like living branches. Those branches double as people with outstretched arms, producing good fruit together, while the infinity hidden in the word good points to God’s goodness flourishing without end when we stay rooted.

Kardia Rm 224
Our POPS after dinner programs during Lent will follow the Tell Me Something Good curriculum. Join us at 6:30 pm in Kardia Rm 224 as we help shape the Lenten sermons, pondering what it means to share the good news of radical welcome, love for neighbor, care for the vulnerable, nourishment for the hungry, and nonviolence in the face of injustice. We will use our Lenten scripture passages and devotional guide. This weekly Bible study is led by Rev. Katie Harrington and Rev. Parker Lucas, Dinner is offered in Brown Hall at 5:30 pm.
Nature Meditation Experience
Research shows time spent slowly, attentively, and repeatedly in nature helps ease stress, calm the nervous system, lower inflammation, and support emotional and physical well-being. Each session is an invitation to rest, listen, and receive God’s care through the natural world—allowing our bodies, minds, and spirits to be gently restored.
Sessions will offer a gentle, loosely guided sensory experience inspired by the evidence-based medical practice of forest bathing. Each week during Lent, we will meet near the education center at Halyburton Park and enjoy a 30 minute guided nature experience followed by an optional 30 minute circle of sharing and brown-bag picnic lunch time.
These events are FREE, open to the public, and rain or shine. Registration is encouraged, but not required, and helps us prepare for each session with an estimated headcount. Children are welcome and must be supervised at all times by a parent or guardian. Please no pets.
