Lent 2025
Every year Lent comes around at the perfect time. After reflecting on our year and life in Jan/Feb, Lent is a natural next step. Engaging in practices that remind us God ALONE has the words of life, that His stamp of our worth is the only one we need, practices that pull Him to the center, anchoring our hearts no matter what storms come. Below I've listed a few of the ways you can participate in Lent with us this year. May your wells go deep!
Resources
This year we're inviting you to join us in reading through "Jesus In The Wild" by Dan Wilt. In Jesus in the Wild you’ll take a forty-day journey into the heart of one of the most unusual, and often most misunderstood, stories in the Gospel accounts. In this encounter, following his baptism in the Jordan and before the inauguration of his ministry, Jesus is alone with the adversary—the one whose works he had come to destroy (1 John 3:8). He faces three tests, or “temptations”—all aimed at unseating him from his identity, his belovedness, and his purpose as the Son of God. Understanding how Jesus faced down the accuser in the wild, you and I will be equipped to address every demonic challenge that comes our way in the wild places in our own lives.
You can either buy the book directly from us (copies will be available in the foyer) or order it below.

Events
March 28 - Andy Squyres Concert at Eden Cafe
Andy Squyres is a singer-songwriter born and raised in the mountains of Northern California but after moving east in the late 1990’s, he’s spent the last few decades carving songs out of the foothills of his North Carolina home. Heavily influenced by the poetics of Leonard Cohen, Squyres leans heavily into the lyrical tradition of artists like Bob Dylan, The National, and John Mark McMillan, having a passion for words that are equally worshipful and honest.
His live show is ache on display, a joyful protest, at once humorous and tragic, weaving together songs and tales of heartbreak and hope, making audiences laugh and sometimes cry while feeling the wonder of the sorrows and joys of life. 7-9pm.
