Spiritual Practices in a Time of Waiting
Beginning April 11, Adult CE will be welcoming Rev. Marylen Marty-Gentile for a four week session on spiritual practices. There are many ways to connect with God, to deepen our relationship with the Holy. For many of us, finding a practice and getting started are stumbling blocks. This four-week class was going to use Advent as a place to begin, but lockdowns and Covid and uncertainty got in the way of even this. So we begin in this Easter moment, a time of new beginnings. In these weeks we will explore:
-
Right in Front of our Eyes: Noticing Here and Now
-
In the Beginning: Creating as Does the Creator
-
Incarnation: Honoring the Body
-
Blessings: Sharing Holy Words
Each session will include word, experience, and silence.
