The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr 
Thursdays | Jan. 15 - Feb. 12 | 8 - 9 am | Chapel Library & Online 

How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today. Join Pastor Erik as we read and discuss together. Books will be available in the Church Office and throughout the campus starting Dec. 28 for $20.

with Dr. Eric Barreto
12 pm  |  Fellowship Hall rm 2
Lunch followed by lecture

As the Gospel of Luke begins to weave a story about Jesus, there is a clock ticking in the background. As promises about Jesus’ resurrection and assurances of his return are narrated, what can we learn about the world God is shaping around us? So often, we are tempted to imagine Christian timekeeping as primarily about the end of the world as we know it. But what if Luke is more interested in our everyday practices of keeping time as we live and die, rejoice and grieve? In short, the Gospel of Luke helps us tell what time it is in a way that is meaningful and faithful, especially in a moment of intersecting crises. Join Dr. Eric Barreto, the Frederick & Margaret L. Weyerhaeuser Associate Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, for this special lecture for our Pinnacle community.

Saturday, Jan. 17 | 7 pm | Sanctuary 

We celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday by exploring the profound impact of his legacy on the world. This special concert will feature The Princeton Theological Seminary Choir under Dr. Martin Tel and Pinnacle Chancel Choir under Dr. Ilona Kubiaczyk- Adler, guest soloist Jordan Murrillo, and guest instrumentalists, who will together lead the audience in delivering music that defined Martin Luther King’s era. By singing his favorite hymns combined with significant readings, we will reaffirm our commitment to Dr. King's ideals of justice, equality, and unity, empowering us to make a positive difference in the world. 

During 8 & 10 am worship services

Princeton Seminary Professor Dr. Eric Barreto will be our guest preacher, and the Princeton Theological Seminary travel choir will be singing during both services (joining our Chancel Choir at 10 am) Join us for lunch with the seminary students after the 10 am worship service.

ENTERING THE DESERT
Wednesday, Feb. 25
Anthony the Great & Syncletica of Alexandria
Solitude, simplicity, and the search for God.

During Lent, we are invited to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover what truly matters. Long before us, the Desert Fathers and Mothers retreated into the wilderness to do just that - to seek God in silence, simplicity, and prayer. Though they lived centuries ago, their insights into faith, humility, and inner peace continue to speak with striking relevance today.

Join us every Wednesday evening during Lent as we explore the spiritual wisdom of one Desert Father and one Desert Mother each week. Through brief readings, reflection, and conversation, we’ll consider how their voices can guide us through our own modern deserts - toward lives of greater compassion, patience, and trust in God. The class meets at 5 pm in the Chapel Library, followed by our Lenten Vespers service at 6 pm in the Chapel.

Wednesdays  |  Feb. 25 - Apr. 1  |  6 pm  |  Chapel

This is the journey of genuine discipleship: following the crucified and resurrected Lord in a world of distraction and false hopes. Drawing on his experience as a professor and father living with incurable cancer, Billings offers a personal yet deeply theological account of the gospel's expansive hope for small, mortal creatures. Join us for this Lenten book discussion with Pastor Erik. Books will be available in the Church Office and throughout the campus starting Feb. 1 for $10.

When balancing work, family, and children’s schedules, it can be hard to find time for your own renewal and reflection. Woven is a chance to connect with other women in a similar season of life to slow down, study God’s Word, discover support, and hopefully get a chance to enjoy thoughtful reflection in a safe environment. (Intended for women under 50.) Contact Rev. Leah Quarles.

Who Stole My Bible?:
Reclaiming Scripture as a Handbook for Resisting Tyranny by Jennifer Butler & Brian McLaren 
Thursdays | Apr. 30 - May 28 | 8 - 9 am | Chapel Library & Online 

Who Stole My Bible? shows us how the whole Bible is an inspiring handbook for grounding your resistance to oppression of any kind. Rev. Jennifer Butler urges us to reclaim scripture as a source of liberative spiritual power and counter-argument against those who hijack the Bible to harm others. If you have been burned by the church, this book is for you. If you are on the verge of leaving church because of the bigotry you see among Christians, this book is for you. If you want to deeply connect your faith with your commitment to a more just and compassionate world, this book is for you. Books will be available in the Church Office and throughout the campus starting April 5 for $15.
