SPRING 2026

SPRING pinnacle presbyterian church pinnaclepres.org

Invitation

An

from your Pastors

These first few months of 2026 are filled with opportunities for you to connect with others, grow in your faith, and serve alongside our mission partners. Throughout this guide, you'll find ways to do all three. When we connect, grow, and serve, we are taking deliberate steps to draw nearer to God. Here at Pinnacle, our hope is that you will find a home among others who are on a journey of faith. We walk with one another, pointing to the way to God through fellowship, learning, music, and service. And we want to help you find your place here.

Take this guide and sit with it and see what draws you in. If you've been around for a while, maybe you can focus on finding something new. If you're new here, don't be shy about trying various things to see where you find your place. You might even reach out to a friend or someone you'd like to get to know better and invite them to join you.

We're here alongside you in our shared ministry at Pinnacle and can't wait to see you on the journey!

Rev. Erik Khoobyarian, Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Mike Hegeman & Rev. Leah Quarles, Associate Pastors

Journey through

the gospels in 2026!

Online and Self-Paced

We are about to embark on a journey through the entirety of Scripture, beginning in 2026 with the four Gospels. On January 1, through the church website and our mobile app, we will offer a daily reading from the Gospels, so that by December 31, together we will have read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John! We will also provide helpful resources for reading and understanding the scriptures. We hope to provide opportunities that you can interact with others in this faith-deepening practice. Contact Pastor Mike with any questions at mhegeman@pinnaclepres.org.

How to Read

THE GOSPELS

Sundays | Jan. 11 - Feb. 8 | 9 am | Chapel Library

Dr. Mike Hegeman will explore the origins and significance of the four narratives we know as Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

These gospels are full of history, healing stories, parables, and theological reflection. Through them, we meet Jesus the Messiah.

These four accounts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, which teach us so much about faithful living, require reading strategies to gain access to the kingdom of God that they portray. Join us to find out more about reading these biblical books with confidence and humility.

Welcoming Princeton Seminary to pinnacle

Students from Princeton Theological Seminary’s choir and their professors will be spending a week studying, worshipping, and singing at Pinnacle. Here are some opportunities to join them!

Dr. Eric Barreto presents

READING THE GOSPEL of LUKE with Time Saturday, Jan. 17 12 pm | Fellowship Hall rm 2 Lunch followed by lecture

As the Gospel of Luke begins to weave a story about Jesus, there is a clock ticking in the background. As promises about Jesus’ resurrection and assurances of his return are narrated, what can we learn about the world God is shaping around us?

So often, we are tempted to imagine Christian timekeeping as primarily about the end of the world as we know it. But what if Luke is more interested in our everyday practices of keeping time as we live and die, rejoice and grieve? In short, the Gospel of Luke helps us tell what time it is in a way that is meaningful and faithful, especially in a moment of intersecting crises. Join Dr. Eric Barreto, the Frederick & Margaret L. Weyerhaeuser Associate Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, for this special lecture for our Pinnacle community.

MONASTICISM MONASTIC LIVING Sundays | Feb. 1, 8, 15 11:15 am | Fellowship Hall rm 2 Have you ever wondered how monks and nuns have lived lives of deep prayer, purpose, and community for centuries? This class offers an engaging introduction to the history, wisdom, and practices of monastic life, with a focus on the guidance of St. Benedict and St. Bernard of Clairvaux. We’ll explore how ancient rhythms of prayer, work, and reflection can still inspire meaningful, intentional living today - without requiring a major commitment.

Whether you’re curious about spiritual practices, seeking new ways to grow in faith, or simply intrigued by the monastic tradition, this class is for you.

Living with Intention A 12-Week Monastic Cohort What if our ordinary days were shaped with the wisdom and rhythm of a monastery?

For centuries, people of faith have looked to the rule of life - a prayerful structure of daily practices - as a way to live with balance, depth, and intention. Starting this March, join Pastor Erik for a 12-week journey inspired by the wisdom of St. Benedict.

Together, our small cohort will: • Meet regularly (weekly) for conversation, prayer, and guidance.

• Explore spiritual practices that bring stability and depth to everyday living.

• Commit to daily rhythms that help us grow closer to God. • Share a monastic retreat as the capstone to our journey.

This is not a drop-in class but a committed community, walking alongside one another with honesty and care. Participants will be asked to attend regularly (in person; but Zoom when out of town), engage with practices between sessions, and commit to the closing retreat (dates to be determined in coordination after the cohort is formed).

Pastor Erik will hold an informational session after each of the Introduction to Monastic Living sessions on Sundays, February 1, 8, and 15 at 11:15 am in Fellowship Hall Room 2. Attending at least one session of the introduction class and an informational session is required to be considered for the cohort.

wisdom of the desert fathers mothers

&

Wednesdays in Lent 5 pm | Chapel Library Begins Wednesday, Feb. 25 During Lent, we are invited to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover what truly matters. Long before us, the Desert Fathers and Mothers retreated into the wilderness to do just that - to seek God in silence, simplicity, and prayer. Though they lived centuries ago, their insights into faith, humility, and inner peace continue to speak with striking relevance today.

Join us each Wednesday evening in Lent as we explore the spiritual wisdom of one Desert Father and one Desert Mother each week.

Through brief readings, reflection, and conversation, we’ll consider how their voices can guide us through our own modern deserts - toward lives of greater compassion, patience, and trust in God. The class meets at 5 pm in the Chapel Library, followed by our Lenten Vespers service at 6 pm in the Chapel.

We're excited to announce kate satterstrom Joins Pinnacle Kids in January 2026

Hello Pinnacle Presbyterian Church, I am so excited to join you at the start of the new year as your new Director of Children’s Ministry! I wanted to take a moment to say hello and introduce myself before I arrive.

At the heart of my ministry is a simple and profound truth: God’s steadfast love is abundant, constant, and filled with grace. I feel called to help people, especially the youngest in our community, discover the tools and sense of belonging they need for a lifelong journey of faith. Children have a remarkable ability to ask big questions, imagine boldly, and recognize God in surprising ways.

In my personal life, I enjoy reading, exploring new places, and learning about people and cultures, and I can’t wait to discover the beauty and life of Arizona alongside this community.

Most of all, I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Whether or not you have children, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to share a note, a photo, or your favorite local recommendations. I look forward to beginning this journey with you. You can email me at ksatterstrom@pinnaclepres.org.

With gratitude and joy, Kate Satterstrom
