Andy Smith is the Senior Pastor of Belfast City Vineyard and Regional Leader for the Vineyard in Ireland, a role he and his wife Harmony have held together for over twenty years. Originally from Michigan, Andy has made Belfast home and has become one of the most significant Vineyard voices in the UK and Ireland, serving on the National Leadership Team and recently leading the movement’s national governance review. He is a pastor and teacher with a deep commitment to biblical wisdom, theological steadiness, care for the poor, and demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit. When Caleb and Kathy went to Ireland in 2025, they experienced a special sense of connection with Andy and Harmony and their church’s ministry of reconciliation, prophetic worship, and compassion center. We are so thrilled to be hosting Andy this March, and look forward to how the Lord is growing relationship between our churches.
Pilgrim Way Salon: Lab Dogs, Ethics, and the Hidden World of Animal Research
Wednesday, March 18, 2026
1:00 AM
Pilgrim Way Salons Monthly | 7–9pm | Drinks & Appetizers to Start Suggested donation: $10 What makes a life worth living? What does it mean to seek what is good, beautiful, and true? Once a month, we gather around these questions—not to debate, but to dwell. Our Pilgrim Way Salons are curated evenings of conversation, hospitality, and reflection hosted in a welcoming space, with drinks and light fare to begin. "What’s a salon?" It’s not just a haircut—or a fancy term. Historically, salons were intimate gatherings in homes where people explored big ideas through civil, spirited conversation. That’s what we’re reclaiming. Each evening features a guest speaker or expert voice, followed by guided dialogue and generous Q&A. Whether you’re skeptical, spiritual, curious, or convicted, come pull up a chair. There’s room at the table. ------------------- Salon: Lab Dog — Love, Ethics, and the Hidden World of Animal Research with journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan What happens when love for one animal leads you into a moral maze that implicates millions of others? In Lab Dog: A Beagle and His Human Investigate the Surprising World of Animal Research, journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan weaves together memoir, investigative reporting, and ethical inquiry. The story begins with a beagle she loves—and unfolds into a searching exploration of the scientific, legal, and moral systems that shape how animals are used in research. As a former MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellow and Vermont Law School Animal Law Media Fellow, Kaplan brings rare access and clarity to a world most of us never see: laboratories, regulatory bodies, scientists, activists, and the quiet contradictions many well-meaning people live with when care, progress, suffering, and necessity collide. This salon will explore questions that resist easy answers: * How do we hold compassion and complexity at the same time? * What does it mean to care deeply while participating—directly or indirectly—in systems that cause harm? * Where do love, science, ethics, and responsibility intersect in a modern world built on tradeoffs? About the Author Melanie D.G. Kaplan is an award-winning journalist whose work focuses on science, ethics, and the human stories beneath complex systems. – 2021–22 MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellow – 2022 Vermont Law School Animal Law Media Fellow Books will be available for purchase.

Sabbath For Everyone Workshop
Saturday, March 21, 2026 - Until Sunday, March 22, 2026
10:00 PM
How satisfied are you with your rhythms of work and rest? If you're longing for new or deepening rhythms of work and rest, join us for our Sabbath for Everyone workshop on Saturday March 21st at Bellwether House. We will consider together how to practice living in resistance to the relentless never-take-a-break ethos of our culture through the rhythms of Sabbath: Worship, Rest, and Play. Our workshop will begin with heavy appetizers after which Hannah Fakhouri will lead us in practical considerations of what counts as Sabbath, when and how to practice Sabbath, and making concrete plans for trying on new rhythms. Please register by March 14th. Childcare available; registration required. Kids will have dinner, play, and watch a video. Hannah Fakhouri is our EDV Kids Coordinator and Admin. She has practiced Sabbath through many life phases, from being a single young adult in a PhD program, to at-home parenting three kids under the age of four, to balancing family and employment responsibilities. She can attest that while there is no one-size-fits-all approach to Sabbath, every life needs worship, rest, and play.

Book Club: Book Discussion - Against the Machine (Part 3)
Thursday, March 26, 2026
1:00 AM
The reading for March 25 will be half of Part 3—chapters 12-17 (pgs. 125-191). The way he writes is MUCH less dense than Ellul (the previous author we read), and since there are lots of stories and images, I hope you can take time to engage with these chapters before next book club on March 25, 7-9pm at Bellwether House. Even if you can’t get all the way through the chapters, you should still feel free to join us!
Good Friday Service
Saturday, April 4, 2026
12:00 AM
Join us for a contemplative service, sitting with the story of Jesus’ final hours through scripture and prayer. We invite you to participate in our foot washing service, where we slow all the way down and remember together what kind of King we follow. In addition, you are invited to contemplate Jesus’ journey to the cross with the Stations of the Cross, set up in the Bellwether basement room. It’s a meaningful night for the whole family.

Book Club: Book Discussion - Against the Machine (Part 2)
Thursdays until May 28, 2026
1:00 AM
We are looking for the discussion of Part 2 of Kingsnorth's text on February 25! We read Part 1 for the first month, so if you haven't read it--catch up. He sets the stage for the problem that he is going to seek to describe and address. As a group, we made note at the first meeting that his tone is not the preference of many! But, we will press on with generosity and curiosity, and see what he might be able to help us diagnose about the ills of our time. Read with these questions: - What is he diagnosing about our time? - Is he (yet) proposing a prognosis? - What are insights that help you describe something you've not yet been able to describe? - Are there different descriptions you might give? - How could these descriptions help you live in your family, neighborhood, city, and/or church? Okay, bless you all! Looking forward to discussing it all in late Feb. Until then...you best get readin' ;) Warmly, Annie and Caleb -- Join us this term to read a contemporary book Against the Machine: The Unmaking of Humanity by Paul Kingsnorth. We will meet monthly on the 4th Wednesday to discuss a few chapters at a time, working our way slowly through the book between January and May. Together with Kingsnorth, we will think about what it means to live in our time and be shaped by presence within our technological systems and economies. All are welcome and should feel free to bring any friends brave enough to think about the challenge of becoming human in our time. You can purchase the book here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/against-the-machine-on-the-unmaking-of-humanity-paul-kingsnorth/1fd1b2b275afb40f?ean=9780593850633&next=t&next=t&affiliate=2186&prhc=PRHEFFDF5A7F1. At this point, there is only one version, so we will all have the same pagination! Hurray!
