Some of life’s challenges we need to accept, and some we have the ability to change. In reflecting upon changing the narratives of our own lives, we explore life-giving ways various peoples have altered their understanding of God and Christianity.

Loss and the change that accompany it are unavoidable and necessary. Without death we would not know life, without heartbreak we would not know love, and without ailments we would not know health. We react, adapt, let go, and grow in ways unique to each individual and each loss. Together, let us explore life-giving reactions to these inevitable life transitions. 

Individualism is a powerful motivating force in the predominant culture in this country.  This Sunday, we will look beyond this and explore how a community-focused mindset can shift our lives and the world in powerful ways.  Together, we explore the power of intentional living and dedication to the wellbeing of all. 

Before we create anything new, we need to craft it in our minds; to change our current lives we need to envision a new one. This Sunday, through an exploration of origin stories, world religions, and our own family histories, we explore the roles our imaginations play in generating a courageous way forward.

As we transition into our theme of courage, we honor those seemingly small acts of bravery that nonetheless alter the course of our lives. By delving deep into Buddhist practices and ideas, we learn how to intentionally and courageously avoid suffering. Together, we will share wisdom tales and explore the Noble Eightfold Path, gaining direction, skills, and insights that serve to transform the actions, thoughts, and intentions in each of our days.
