Theme: An Altar in the World

Our weekend theme will be based on the book by Barbara Brown Taylor, “An Altar in the World.” We will explore ways of noticing the holiness and spirituality that can be found in ordinary life. One pastor writes about this book: 

“It challenges the church and its people to wake up to God, to live with purpose, to get lost while wearing skin and walking the earth. It charges the church and its people to practice saying ‘No.’ It urges them not to be numb, but to practice feeling pain, to practice being present to God and to shower the world with the blessings of being fully human. Taylor’s memoir challenges us to be real and genuine, and to know who and whose we are.” 

Our time together will include group conversation and activities while making time and space for individual reflection and renewal. Join us in this exploration of our geography of faith.
