2025 Mission u

"Practicing Hope" is an adult curriculum exploring hope, particularly when hope seems hard to find. The curriculum asks questions such as: What is hope in the face of neofascism What is hope in the face of genocide? How do we imagine a future for the next generation as our planet grows hotter by the season? What tools do we have to face these hard realities? How does Christ teach us to embody hope when our backs are against the wall?

​

This study's purpose is to allow all of our communities to cultivate hope that is honest about our current conditions (refugia), hope that is restorative when everything feels urgent (rest) and hope that is possible even when we transgress (repair).

​

Join us at Mission u as we explore what it means to practice hope as followers of Christ.

 

How do we understand hope in the midst of so many hard realities? Is hope merely optimism?

 

Mission u this year will study the resurrection appearances of Jesus and the example of early Christian communities to explore what it means to practice hope in God even when things seem to be falling apart. There are two ways to participate - online or in-person.
