Rise in Love: Easter Sunday / Things I Didn’t Learn in Sunday School
9:15 AM: Rise in Love: Easter Sunday
An in-person all-ages service led by Affiliated Community Minister Renée Ruchotzke, Director of Religious Exploration Colleen Thoele, Transitional Music Director Emily Hall, and Worship Associate David Weaver.
The story of Easter is a story of resistance to power and oppression, grounded in the love that surpasses all. How has the story of Jesus been changed over the millennia? Reflection dialogue between David Weaver and Rev. Renée Ruchotzke.
10:00 AM Lifespan Religious Exploration
Religious exploration for our children and youth in classrooms.
Facilitated small reflection groups for adults in Hobbs Hall using our wondering questions:
- What was your understanding of the Easter story growing up? What parts (if any) still resonate with you?
- Our Universalist heritage is grounded in the redeeming power of God’s love for the world, with no exceptions. What are ways the Universalist part of our faith shows up in your personal beliefs?
10:00 – 11:15 AM Community Café
Our social hour in Hobbs Hall is open to all. Connect with others, learn about the church, find out about programs and other opportunities to connect.

11:00 AM: Things I Didn’t Learn in Sunday School
A multi-platform service (both in-person and on Zoom) led by CLM Lori Mirkin-McGee and Affiliated Community Minister Rev. Christie Anderson.
For Christians around the world, Easter is the most holy time of the year. It is both solemn–the crucifixion and death of Jesus–and joyous–the resurrection of Christ as the saviour of humankind. But who was Jesus, really? How did his socio-political environment influence his actions? What would have happened had he not died on the cross? Please join us as we explore the life, and death, of Jesus of Nazareth.
