GOOD ENOUGH: EMBRACING THE IMPERFECTIONS OF LIFE AND FAITH
MARCH 2 - APRIL 17, 2022
We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility–
climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to ever-more-likable social media accounts. We may comb the shelves of the self-help section in search of just the right formula to gain success. Perhaps we even gravitate towards spiritual leaders who promise great rewards if we only do “the right thing.” But life happens, right? Most times we are not moving upward but trying to repair the rung we’ve just slipped from. So what if we stopped climbing and started fertilizing, watering, and blooming right where we find ourselves? Welcome to a Lent of affirming a faith in which we are blessed, regardless, and where we can lean into embracing our “good enough” lives.
March 2 (Ash Wednesday) – Perfection is impossible. Transformation isn't.
March 6 – Ordinary lives can be holy.
March 13 – So much is out of control.
March 20 – Lots of things can be medicine.
March 27 - We often believe we are the problem.
April 3 – We are fragile.
April 10 (Palm Sunday) - You are a group project.
April 15 (Good Friday) - Even today, God is here somehow, that is good enough.
April 17 (Easter Sunday) - A Good Enough Faith
REFLECTING THE SACRED
NOVEMBER 27 - DECEMBER 25, 2022
The Christmas season is a time when the juxtaposition of the sacred and secular feels sometimes blatantly opposed, and sometimes quite blurred. The word “sacred” points to something dedicated as “holy” and “set apart.” This year, you are invited to a spiritual journey of seeing ALL things pregnant with the Holy. What could our experience of the Advent and Christmas season be like if we lived it imagining that everything is reflecting the sacred?
November 27 – Sacred Time (Hope)
December 4 – Sacred People (Love)
December 11 – Sacred Space (Joy)
December 18 – Sacred Knowing (Peace)
December 24 - Sacred Being
December 25 – Surprisingly Sacred
