Session 1: May 11th 2024 – 1-3 pm
Listening Deeply to Spirit, to Each Other, and to Our Souls
In a world filled with noise, listening to the still, small voice is needed and a challenge. Our faith is based on listening to Spirit’s movements in ourselves and in our community. In this session we will explore listening, speaking with our authentic voice, and hearing where the words come from. In community, how we Listen to one another and the Spirit matters. We will share experiences of being listened to and deepen our practice of listening to Spirit as an act of faithfulness.
Session 2: June 15th 2024 – 1-3 pm
Opening our Hearts to Continuing Revelation
Listening to Spirit invites us to open our hearts as we live into faithfulness in changing times. We will practice opening our hearts with one another, sharing what is important to hold onto or let go of as we listen to Spirit. We will explore how opening our hearts allows continuing revelation, a core experience of our faith, to reveal new paths and transform community.
Session 3: July 20th 2024 – 1-3 pm
Walking Forward in Faith
When it feels like the sands are shifting under our feet, how do we move forward? What sustains us through spiritually challenging times? What gives us hope? We will explore how care of community supports individual and collective faithfulness, knowing that “the power of love will carry us through all.”How is Spirit calling us?”
