Distilling the Essence of Lent

Join us for a slow morning of casual Coffee and Collage on Saturday, March 1st, in the sun-filled atrium from 8am-1pm. As always, join our monthly group theme or work on anything that inspires you!

This month’s theme, inspired by Lent, invites us to shed what is unnecessary to uncover what is most essential. Through the art of collage, you’ll start with a busy, cluttered design representing life’s distractions, then gradually refine it to reveal a central image, word, or symbol that captures what matters most to you this season.

Perfect for artists, crafters, and creative beginners alike, this gathering is open to adults and high school-aged youth. All you need to bring is your creativity and a willingness to explore.

What to Bring:

We’ll provide examples, gentle guidance, and a few supplies to get you started. Participants are also encouraged to bring materials from home to use or share for the day at the community resources table! Suggested items include:

Old magazines, books, and newspapers

Photographs to integrate

Daily calendar quotes

Old or blank greeting cards

Poetry books for inspiration

Preferred markers or water-based paints

Old artwork you’d like to upcycle

Textured items: thread, netting from oranges, etc.

What to expect during this casual community art hangout:

8 am-9 am: Early Bird Community Set-up!Feel free to arrive at your convenience. We’ll be brewing coffee, putting out supplies, setting up tables, and art’ing together as people show up.

9 am-12 pm: Casual Coffee & CollageLet the creativity begin! We’ll officially start at 9am. Connect with others (or enjoy creative solitude) as you work on your collage piece.

12 pm-1 pm: Community Clean-up!Return supplies and pick up your personal space. If your schedule and physical ability permit, volunteer to help put away tables, chairs, and community supplies!

C2: Coming of Age Cafe

C2 is a unique coming-of-age space designed to honor youth choice and support them in taking ownership of their spiritual paths, C2 is a space where youth can connect, collaborate, create, and rest while exploring the deep questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. Each week, the group will be invited to explore questions such as:

How do I honor the child I once was…and will carry with me?

What are the labels and expectations our families put on us?

Where is the line between belonging and fitting in?

What privileges belong to me, and how do I use them to support the belonging of others?

How do I honor where I come from?

How do I celebrate the unique me?

How do I prevent labels from hemming me in?

What are my core values?

What are my passions and joys?

Who do I hope to become?

How do we disagree without destroying relationships?

How do I resist “me-ism” and honor our intertwined fates?

Then youth can choose how they’d like to go deeper with that week’s theme. Whether they choose to play a game, make art, enjoy a snack, quietly reflect, or simply relax, C2 is an intentional time for youth to nurture their well-being, explore those big coming-of-age questions as they move from childhood to adolescence, and discover the answers together.

Springs of the Heart – the Rev. Brian Mason, preaching

It’s that time of year when I officially loathe northern Wisconsin’s winters. The snow—what’s left of it—is a sad, gray mess. The weather is as indecisive as a toddler at an ice cream stand. But here and there, spring winks at us. And even when it doesn’t, there are springs of the heart—unexpected, unchosen, but somehow exactly what we need. Join us this Sunday as we explore how hope shows up even when winter won’t leave.
