Join us for a three-part seminar exploring the Indigenous history of the land now known as Washington, D.C., originally home to the Anacostan, Piscataway, and other Native peoples. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of local tribes, the lasting impacts of the Doctrine of Discovery, and the larger ideological forces that shaped America's treatment of Native communities. Together, we’ll explore significant Indigenous sites around D.C. and consider how people of faith can honor Native stories and work toward justice. The seminar meets on Wednesdays, May 14, 21, and 28, from 7–9pm.

Join us for an evening with Elizabeth Oldfield, author of Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times. In a world marked by outrage, exhaustion, and disconnection, what does it take to become people who are resilient, kind, generous, and brave?

Drawing on the seven deadly sins as a spiritual framework, Oldfield invites us to explore how ancient wisdom can help us live more attentively, seek peace over wrath, rediscover awe, and move from pride toward deeper connection. With wit, vulnerability, and insight, she shows why—even in a world heavy on judgment—the concept of sin can be surprisingly liberating.

Whether you’re curious about Christian spirituality or longing for practices that help you stay grounded and fully human, this conversation will offer depth, honesty, and hope.

We will have a collaborative Good Friday service with The Table Church on Friday, April 18 at 7 pm at First Congregational Church (945 G St NW) to remember Jesus' death and grieve sin in the world. Limited childcare will be available. Please join us in person as this service will not be streamed.
