LENTEN SERIES
​Restorative Justice
Wednesdays
​February 25 - March 25
Soup Supper 6:00p  Program 6:45-7:30p

This Lent, Parkview invites you to explore a powerful intersection of faith and justice through our special series on Restorative Justice.

​Beginning Wednesday, February 25th and continuing throughout the Lenten season, we'll gather to examine how deep listening, mindfulness, and storytelling form the spiritual foundation of healing and reconciliation in our communities.

Restorative justice moves beyond punishment to focus on healing relationships, understanding harm, and building peace. It's a practice deeply rooted in spiritual values of compassion, forgiveness, and human dignity – principles at the heart of our Christian faith.
​
We're honored to be led by Dr. Mark Umbreit and Jacob Otis from the University of Minnesota's Center for Restorative Justice and Peacemaking. Their decades of experience in conflict resolution, peace-building, and restorative dialogue will guide us through this meaningful Lenten journey.

We offer an optional free soup supper with fixings before each program, where you can meet and connect with other attendees.

ASH WEDNESDAY

Wednesday, Feb 18 | 7:00p

Begin your Lenten journey with this traditional service of reflection and preparation. Through ancient rituals and meaningful liturgy, we mark the beginning of the season that leads to Easter. The imposition of ashes reminds us of our mortality and our need for God's grace, setting the tone for forty days of spiritual renewal.

Whether this is your first Ash Wednesday or you've observed this tradition for years, you're welcome to begin this sacred season with us. 

PALM SUNDAY
​
Sunday, March 29 | 10:00a

Celebrate Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem as we wave palm branches and begin Holy Week. This joyful service reminds us of the crowds who welcomed Jesus, even as it foreshadows the journey ahead. Join us for special music and a message that bridges the celebration and contemplation of this pivotal week in the Christian story.

Join us as we wave palms and celebrate together—no prior church experience needed! 

MAUNDY THURSDAY
​
​Thursday, April 2 | 7:30p​

Experience the intimacy of the Last Supper through our Maundy Thursday service. This evening service commemorates Jesus's final meal with his disciples and his commandment to love one another. Through communion, scripture, and reflection, we remember the foot-washing, the breaking of bread, and the profound acts of service and sacrifice that define this holy night.

This day serves as a reminder of the deep connection between love and selflessness, inviting us to embrace these virtues in our own lives. 

EASTER SUNDAY​
​
​April 5 | 10:00a

Celebrate the resurrection with joyful music, inspiring message, and the good news that transforms everything! Easter Sunday at Parkview is a celebration of hope, renewal, and the promise of new life. Join us for special Easter music from our choir, fresh flowers, and a service that proclaims the truth at the heart of our faith: Christ is risen! Bring family and friends to share in this glorious celebration.

From lifelong believers seeking fresh inspiration to those simply curious about the story, our Easter celebration honors where each person is on their journey.
