We are the heart of downtown. Inspired by Jesus Christ, we live out our faith by serving with compassion, practicing social justice, nurturing meaningful relationships, and welcoming all who seek to experience and share Christ's love.
Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is a truly epic story. Whether you’ve tackled the 1,400-page 19th-century novel, witnessed the Broadway musical (and memorized its soundtrack), or seen the several screen adaptations of it, you already know the power of its story.
The author and pastor Matt Rawle dives into six ideals found in the story—grace, justice, poverty, revolution, love, and hope—each represented by a character in Hugo’s story. As these imperfect and relatable characters interact, we can see how these ideals work together (perhaps even despite each other) out in the world.
Each Sunday’s sermon in Lent will be based on a chapter of the book and members of the Chancel Choir will be bringing some of the music to our worship.
