Practicing the Way: The Service Practice
Join us for a four week course exploring how we can embody the self-giving love of Jesus: Practices of Service.
This group will meet every week beginning Thursday, February 5 at 6:30pm (in the Nova Fireside Room).
Love is the hallmark of Jesus’ followers, but what does it look like? In the Way of Jesus, it means offering hidden acts of service to those right in front of us, allowing ourselves to be interrupted by unexpected needs, and overlapping our lives with those on the margins. Through teaching, experiential practices, and small group discussion we will seek to grow together to become people marked by love and service.

Join us on Sunday, February 8, at 10:30 AM for a morning worship gathering. Please note the special service time, adjusted to accommodate any Super Bowl plans you may have later in the evening.

Advent Group
Advent Group
Tuesdays, December 2–23 | 6:30–8:30 PM
In a season often marked by hurry and noise, we’re making space to slow down and listen. To wait together for the God who comes near.
Through the book Honest Advent by Scott Erickson, we’ll journey through art, story, and scripture, exploring the sacred mystery of incarnation. God made flesh, dwelling among us. Each gathering will weave together a spiritual practice, an anchoring passage of scripture, and honest conversation about where we find ourselves in the story of Advent.
Honest Advent by Scott Erickson

Deck the Halls
Celebrate the first Sunday of Advent! Join us early on Sunday, November 30, from 2–4pm as we deck the halls and fill our gathering space with Advent and Christmas decor.
Christ the King Sunday
What does it mean to say 'Jesus is King’? He's a very strange sort of king indeed.

Join with the Nova community as we celebrate Christ the King Sunday on November 23 at 5pm.

Agape Christian Church is a historically Black church in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver. For many years now they have served a free meal to anyone in their neighborhood who needs one.
