The pauses between the words gives us all a chance to find our breath and focus on quieting our minds.
Come and be encouraged by each other to find a way inside through meditation. We will stretch a bit to prepare and then sit in silence. In gratitude for taking time for ourselves, we are better at caring for others.

Lenten Series & Life Groups | |
|
As we journey together through Lent, our sermon series will explore themes of grace and repentance, alienation and reconciliation brought up in the parable of the Prodigal Son. We’ll be guided by Henri Nouwen's book, The Return of the Prodigal.
Life Groups during Lent will spend time reflecting on the same issues in light of our own life experience. You can purchase the book for yourself, though it is not required to participate in a group.
Life Groups meet weekly in March on Thursday evenings, starting with a simple shared meal at 6:15pm followed by groups gathering in various rooms at the church from 7-8:15pm. Anyone can attend, whether or not you’ve been in a Life Group before.
