July 13: “Imagination in Faith”

July 20: “Laughing, We Come Alive”

Speaker: Rev. Judy Tomlinson

Laughter is contagious! In our church community strength and connection can be found through shared moments of joy and humor, especially when fear and stress pull our minds down the "what ifs?" and "what now?" rabbit holes. Let's join together for a few good laughs and see how laughter can help us build stronger bonds, encourage one another, and restore our faith in each other.

July 27: “Honoring Our Sacred Pace, Returning to Mother Earth As Teacher”

Speaker: Stacy Pendleton

We’ll be delving into the importance of honoring our natural rhythms, and how ignoring them and adopting the ethos of “pushing through the pain” rose to power with imperialism and colonialism. We’ll explore how returning to slow, sustainable growth that honors us and our respective communities, is also a sustainable road back to honoring Mother Earth’s natural rhythms, as well as a road home to each other.
