Lent is a season that celebrates transformation--in all its forms. For this Ash Wednesday sermon we remember the greatest transitions of all. We are born of star dust, and to star dust we shall return. Join us as we spend 40 days facing hard truths, taking responsibility, and creating something beautiful together through it all.

Welcome home! Regardless of your age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, abilities, or faith background, we are glad you’re worshiping with us today. You belong here.

This week has felt darker than ever as ICE continues to terrorise our communities and another person has been murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. But, church, our faith has built us for this moment! It has built us to still believe that the world can change. It has built us to speak up when our voice and our faith are needed the most.

Guest Liturgist & Preacher: Lorraine & Chris Harry This Sunday we join Lorraine and Chris Harry on Chris' sermon "Bon Appétit: Meals Worth Remembering, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." Chris and Lorraine Harry have served as campus ministers at The Claremont Colleges since 2004 and 2000, respectively. The group they staff, Claremont Christian Fellowship, is a queer-affirming, justice-seeking, question-loving community, with students from all seven colleges. They both majored in English at Pomona College, and Chris also holds a Master of Arts in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. They live in Claremont with their 16-year-old daughter, Audrey, and beloved cat, Momo. In addition to their career in ministry, Lorraine works in communications at Pomona College, and Chris runs an electronics import business.

The dining table is much more than a place to consume food; it is a place for connecting, laughing, telling stories, and comforting one another. Shared meals bond us, heal us, and lift us up. In the first installment of our new sermon series, Bon Appetit: Meal Worth Remembering, we join a group of disciples after the resurrection who see the risen Christ in the breaking of bread with one another.
