Contemplative Yoga in the Park
Enjoy a special contemplative yoga class in Cheesman Park. We will gather in the park near where Franklin St runs into 8th Street. Grace will be leading a Vinyasa Class. Vinyasa is an energetic, flowing practice that connects breath and movement to help you feel grounded, energized, and at peace.
Parking Lot Cookout
We're switching things up on July 5 — trading our normal Sunday night gathering for a cookout in the parking lot! Come hang out with the Nova community at 5pm for food, fun, and good conversation.
There will be no worship service that evening — just friends, burgers, and a chance to enjoy summer together. It might be good opportunity to invite a friend! All are welcome.
Reflective Bible Study
Take a breath during the slower pace of summer. This reflective study of Scripture invites you to dwell in God's Word, offering space for contemplation, meaningful discussion, and prayerful responsiveness to the movement of the Holy Spirit.
Led by Pastor Katie Fowler and David Kim.
Meets in Cheesman Park, Thursdays in July at 6:30 PM — July 9, 16, 23, and 30.
Contemplative Yoga (and Coffee Hang)
Kaylee will be leading a yin class. Yin is a slow moving, deep stretch focused form of yoga. This is a cozy class, so please bring a blanket, a pillow or two and anything else you might need to feel comfortable during class.
This class will be held at the Nova gathering space. After class, we will grab coffee together at a nearby coffee shop.

Easter Sunday + Community Dinner
Easter means all things new!
What happened 2,000 years ago in a graveyard outside Jerusalem? Did a dead man really come back to life? And if so, what difference could that make to your life today? What would it mean for our world? At Nova Church we believe that Jesus rose from the dead on that first Easter morning. This moment changes everything! It means hope is alive and hope is here! Hope for renewal — in your life and in our world. Join us for Easter on Sunday, April 5 at 5pm, as we celebrate this hope of renewal God wants to give you through Jesus. Immediately following our worship gathering, we will host a Community Feast. All are invited and welcome to join.
Good Friday
Enter into the mystery and power of Jesus’ final hours on the cross. Connect with the meaning of Good Friday as we gather to worship and reflect on the weight of Jesus’s suffering and sacrifice. Nova Church will be hosting a traditional tenebrae service. Tenebrae is Latin for “darkness.” As we read the account of Jesus’s crucifixion and death, candles will be slowly extinguished until it is totally dark. Then we will leave in silence. Join us for this profound experience of worship on Friday, April 3 at 7:00PM.
Palm Sunday
Join us on Sunday, March 29 at 5pm to celebrate Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. The service will last approximately one hour.

Happy Birthday Nova!
Nova Turns 5!
This year, we celebrate five years of God’s faithfulness. We believe Jesus is present and at work here and now, in us, through us, and around us. Over these five years, we have seen hearts awakened, a community formed, and hope restored. This has happened not because of us, but because Christ is faithful. We have been invited to lay down performative ways of relating to God and to rest in God’s kindness and love. We have learned to notice our ordinary lives in God’s presence, seek wholeness in our stories, love our literal neighbors, and join in what God is already doing. Together, we participate in Christ’s renewing work and enjoy life with God while inviting others to do the same. Thank you, Jesus, for your generosity to us.
Join us for a gathering and Community Potluck Dinner celebration on Sunday, March 22 from 5-7pm.

We’ll share some meaningful next steps God is leading us to take as a church and a new expression of our mission to invite people to enjoy life with God. It’s exciting, and we hope you’ll be there.
