"Practicing the Presence"

Begins Sunday, October 16 after the 10 am service

Why do we come to church? Why do we pray? What are we hoping for? The ultimate goal of the Christian life is to love and serve God and to be one with God forever. This spiritual journey we are on can lead to what some of the great spiritual leaders through the ages call practicing the Presence. It is possible to actually experience God’s Presence with us and in us.

This four week series will explore a way to practice the Presence that fits into the very busy lives we all lead. (We do not have to join a convent or a monastery to experience God’s Presence on a regular basis.) We will also look at how we can fully offer ourselves to God, what effect gratitude has on our relationship with God, and how we can experience hope in these challenging times.

Vestry On-Call

Kelly Coyne

Vestry members are partners with clergy, encouraging the growth of community and the establishment of common ground in the spiritual life of the congregation. Parishioners are always welcome to speak with these individuals on Sunday morning; they assist in making sure our questions, comments, or concerns are heard.

For Pastoral care, call the church office or Bishop Brookhart.

Inspiring Stories: Effective Practices for Bridging the Red/Blue Divide

October 19, 2022 @ 4:00pm - 6:00pm

These days congregations in all faith traditions in the United States are grappling with complicated issues that bring out strong feelings. Rather than avoiding the difficult conversations, some leaders have chosen to create space and guidelines to address them together. Which strategies are working? What needs to be in place for continued success? How do leaders get training and build support to do this work? Our storytellers will share their experiences.

October was first declared as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in 1989. Since then, October has been a time to acknowledge domestic violence survivors and be a voice for its victims. Domestic violence is prevalent in every community, and affects all people regardless of age, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. Physical violence is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior as part of a much larger, systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence can result in physical injury, psychological trauma, and even death. The devastating consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and last a lifetime.
