Pastor Sarah's Pen: Garden of Grace

Pastor Sarah's Pen: Garden of Grace

The space is called Garden of Grace: A Place of Prayer & Meditation. When you wander to the south side of our property, you will likely notice first and foremost the labyrinth created by white bags against small, dark gravel. Spiritual director Teresa Blythe teaches that the labyrinth “is an ancient prayer practice involving a winding path that leads ultimately to a center and then winds back out to the point where it began. It is not difficult to walk—there are no dead ends as in a maze. The path is symbolic of the journey inward toward God’s illumination and then outward, grounded in God and empowered to act in the world”

June & July Community Building Goal

June & July Community Building Goal

The church as we know it, including Grace, is changing. With a focus less on the institution of church and more on Christian community, our community building goal for June is for each one of us to ask the name of a person whose name we do not know each time we are here—as a way of truly learning the name of every single person in our community.
