Living as People of the Risen Lord

At Wellington Heights Community Church, we believe that God’s transforming and abundant love is revealed through the lived experiences of His people. Through our Stories Among Us series, we are intentionally offering individuals the creative freedom to share their unique journeys of embodying peace, justice, reconciliation, and hope. We trust each storyteller to speak from their heart, aligned with the spirit of the Good News and the mission of our community. Their voices will help us see more clearly how God is at work among us, inviting us all to live more fully into the resurrection life. May these stories awaken us to the beauty of the Way of God breaking in and inspire us to join with courage and joy in the stories unfolding around us.Scripture Focus for Stories Among Us: Ephesians 1:15-2315 Since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, this is the reason that 16 I don’t stop giving thanks to God for you when I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation that makes God known to you. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart will have enough light to see what is the hope of God’s call, what is the richness of God’s glorious inheritance among believers, 19 and what is the overwhelming greatness of God’s power that is working among us believers. This power is conferred by the energy of God’s powerful strength. 20 God’s power was at work in Christ when God raised him from the dead and sat him at God’s right side in the heavens, 21 far above every ruler and authority and power and angelic power, any power that might be named not only now but in the future. 22 God put everything under Christ’s feet and made him head of everything in the church, 23 which is his body. His body, the church, is the fullness of Christ, who fills everything in every way.

As we enter holy week, Palm Sunday invites us to consider the difference between being involved and being truly committed to the way of Jesus. Join us as we walk through the story once again, resisting the urge to rush to Easter morning and instead immersing ourselves in the transformative power of the secret week. Let’s slow down, stay present, and reflect — Are we merely involved or are we truly committed?

Let us remember, together.

On this first Sunday of Lent, we enter the wilderness with Jesus in Luke 4:1-13. Fresh from His baptism and filled with the Holy Spirit, He is led into a place of isolation, testing, and soul-searching. What does this passage reveal about our own wilderness experiences—our struggles with power, recognition, and distraction? How do we resist the temptations that pull us away from the way of Jesus?In a world marked by division, exhaustion, and digital overwhelm, Lent invites us to pause, reflect, and realign our hearts with God’s grace. Through prayer, fasting, and contemplation, we step into the wilderness—not to earn God’s love, but to deepen our awareness of it. Join us as we journey together in this season of renewal.
