This week we chat with Brett Koerten (bkoerten@menlo.church) to further explore what a truly multi-generational church can be. We are going to look at Jesus’s example as he walked along people's path with them, to see how we can be a church that joins the next generation on their path—helping them discover that Jesus has a spot prepared for them at his table.
Whether you consider yourself part of our online community or not, we would love to invite you to participate in how we do online church going forward. We want to hear your voice by filling out this short survey to better understand who our community is and how we can continue to improve our online church experience: https://menlochurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/376009

For the past seven weeks, we’ve been feasting with Jesus. We saw him go to the table of outcasts, doubters, and people in need to let them know they have a place at his table. In this talk, we are going to look at Jesus’s example as he walked along people's path with them, to see how we can be a church that joins the next generation on their path—helping them discover that Jesus has a spot prepared for them at his table.
Do you know a student whose path you can be on with them? Pray for them to rely on Jesus. And pray they know they are fully known and loved by Jesus. If you don’t know a student, go to http://menlo.church/studentprayer and get the name of a student in one of our programs to pray for!

We recap Easter, Holy Week, and further discuss the last meal of Jesus in the New Testament, when the disciples learn the most important lesson of faith. We look at how Jesus’s food provision for people who have failed and abandoned him gives hope to all of us. Join us in this conversation as we explore what it means to find and follow Jesus, leaning into love rather than performance. If responding to the love of God is the core of our lives, think about how you would respond to Jesus if he asked you the question, “Do you love me?”

Join us as we sit down with Matt Stephan to further discuss what it will take for us to be satisfied and set free. In another mealtime passage in John, we see who the God of the Bible truly is and come face to face with what it will take to know who we truly are.
As you start making Easter plans, we hope you will be part of our community during Holy Week and Easter. Holy Week is the week leading up to Easter, a time to reflect on the life and mission of Jesus. Join us as we prepare for the joy of Easter Sunday, the highlight of the Christian year. Head to http://menlo.church/holyweek for all the service details.
Then, rejoice with us this Easter with fun activities, worship, and an inspiring message about finding renewed hope. All the details about Easter can be found at http://menlo.church/easter

Join us to discuss who Jesus was and what he was up to. We'll discuss what it will take for us to be satisfied and set free. In another mealtime passage in John, we see who the God of the Bible truly is and come face to face with what it will take to know who we truly are. Take time during Holy Week to talk with Jesus about your own cross and what it would mean for you to be set free.

This week we sit down with our Transition Pastor John Crosby to further explore Jesus’s claim that he was the bread of life, sent from heaven to save humankind. This claim, while controversial from the beginning, is the basis of Communion and leads us towards the start of Holy Week.

In this talk, we explore Jesus’s claim that he was the bread of life, sent from heaven to save humankind. This claim, while controversial from the beginning, is the basis of Communion. Join us as we delve into how the bread and cup represent the presence of our Savior and God and what it means that this claim is the source of grace unlimited for all who turn to him.
Examine how your understanding of the Lord’s Supper has changed over time. Has it become a rote activity, or has it become more meaningful? Consider what it means that by joining with others in this activity, it will help you believe more firmly in Christ and God’s love for you.

We see God’s abundant provision throughout the Scriptures and in everyday life, but it can be easy to forget and sink into a scarcity mindset. We take our eyes off Jesus and try to take control, or we think that whatever we have isn’t enough. Jesus simply asks us to give what we have and let him multiply it. In this talk, we’ll explore what it looks like to live according to God’s generous economy instead of the world’s economy. This week, what can you bring to Jesus and trust him to multiply it?
