Sunday Morning Adult Education at 9:30 AM
Grab a coffee and gather round! This is a great group to hang out with. Our gatherings are conversational, story laden, intellectually and spiritually meaty, and fun.
Embodied Faith: spiritual practices and how to use them
Join us for a six-week study of various spiritual practices gathered from the faith traditions of the world. We'll take one each week. Learn about it, discuss it, and, if we choose, adopt it for our use.
Probable Topics
Sept. 4 Vision: waking up to God
Sept 11 Reverence: paying attention
Sept 18 Incarnation: wearing skin
Sept 25 Wilderness: getting lost
Oct 2 Vocation: living with purpose
Oct 9 Sabbath: Saying no
No one longs for what they already have, and yet the accumulated insight of those wise about the spiritual life suggests that the reason so many of us cannot see the red X that marks the spot is because we are standing on it. The treasure we seek requires no lengthy expedition, no expensive equipment, no superior aptitude or special company. All we lack is the willingness to imagine that we already have everything we need. The only thing missing is our consent to be where we are.
