I hope by now you’ve had a chance to engage with our new worship series, "Beguiled by Beauty: Cultivating a Life of Contemplation & Compassion”. Throughout this series, I’ll be sending out a weekly email that highlights various Faith Formation opportunities and materials designed to enrich your experience. I encourage you to take some time to explore these resources and discover the sacred depths hidden within the beauty that surrounds us.
Grace to You,
David Greenlee
Minister of Faith Formation

Weekly Contemplative Practice for Young Worshippers (of all ages!!)
Contemplative practices are like special ways to talk and listen to God. It's like having a quiet time with a good friend where you share your heart and listen to what they have to say. We can find God in everything around us, and these special ways help us to notice and appreciate God's love.
These weekly exercises are written for and used as the Young Worshipper’s message during the Sunday worship gathering, but are great for all ages!
Video Interview with Wendy Farley
Each week, the Sunday Adult Faith Formation class will be watching a ~30min video interview with the author of Beguiled by Beauty, Wendy Farley that explores the weekly themes of the series.
Week 2 highlights the idea that we are made for our Beloved, who is always present. The discussion also touches on the suffering and story of Julian or Norwich, and how we we need healing from God.
After watching, check out the Guided Reflection Journal, which has prompts and questions for contemplation and reflection on the week’s themes:
