Join us for a Multigenerational Sunday with Reverend
Wayne Arnason and Kathy Strawser all about the care and
feeding of growing dragons! Parents, did you know that you
might have a little dragon in your house? Children, maybe
your brother or sister is a dragon! Singles, maybe you are
already a dragon! Come find out what Chinese cultural beliefs
about dragons can tell us about how humans grow, and
why growing up to be a dragon might not be a bad idea.

Jesus keeps coming back—not just on Easter morning, but in new and sometimes provocative ways. The latest controversy about Jesus was that he was not a spiritual teacher but a religious and political zealot; and that he came back to Jerusalem during Holy Week to stage an insurrection. Rebel or Rabbi? Which version of Jesus do you think will appear at West Shore on Easter morning? The outreach offering for this Sunday will go towards Greater Cleveland Congregations, our partner organization for community organizing.

This year's youth-led service will investigate the April theme
of "Growth" from the perspective of people who are in the
middle of experiencing the largest and most dynamic
growth period of their lives. Join us as members of our
Youth Group and Junior Church present their own unique
take on West Shore's "Story Year." They will share the personal
insights they've gained during this year's journey together,
and the group epiphanies they've shared. Come,
listen to their stories.

At the beginning of spring, as signs of new life and new possibilities
emerge all around us, we consider our relationship
to one another and to the environment which sustains all
life on this planet. Can planting a garden be radical act?
How can the way we grow and eat food help create communities
that align with our liberal religious values—
promoting justice and honoring the interconnected web of
existence?
