Join us this Sunday (2/25) in worship as we continue our Lenten worship series –
LISTEN. This Lent we will quiet things down and heighten our attention to the “still,
small voice” of God and our own true self.
Our sacred texts connect the breath of God with our own aliveness – God blew breath
into us at creation and we continue to breathe all of creation in and out of our
bodies constantly. The early church also believed that breath and Spirit were one
in the same. How might the meditative practice of paying attention to our breath
be, in and of itself, a prayer of connection to God?

Upcoming Worship:
2/25 – Finding Your Breath: Listening to Our Bodies
3/4 – Finding a Word: Listening to the Texts
3/11 – Finding Your Power: Listening for Healing
3/18 – Finding Your Mystic: Listening Beyond the Voices
3/25 – Finding Your Purpose: Listening to Your Heart (Palm Sunday)
