“Coming Home” Our Winter Message Series

Even when we feel like we are going nowhere, we are always in an astonishing place: right here, at home, in our bodies. There are many ways to stop and pause, and feel our way back to this present, embodied moment – and an abiding, enduring spiritual practice gives us the ability to find peace and presence, no matter where we are. This Winter, we’ll “test drive” a spiritual practice together in worship each week, with hopes that all of us can find a practice to come home to no matter what goes on in the world beyond our own skin.

This message series is unique in that each week will highlight a different spiritual practice. Below is a schedule of speakers and the practices they’ll be sharing with us.
