From our At-Home Sunday Meeting, 7.25.21
About the Sunday Meeting: “Discerning God’s will is not just about making a big decision, but about learning to attend to God’s presence with us in every stage of our lives.”
We might be interested in finding our place and making contributions in the world, developing relationships, having a sense of well-being and belonging. We want to choose the right things, decide the right way. Julie looks at God’s will, what Jesus says about living in the world, which involves loving God but also loving others, extending our purpose in the world to the care and concern of those around us, including the stranger. Also, worship and art from Robert, Nathan, and our Fishtown congregation.
Our Sunday Meeting Season: Questions (Not Answers) We Agree With. Yes, you can ask that question. Yes, you are allowed. Jesus asked way more questions than he answered. Many of his answers were more questions. We want everybody we know to experience enough freedom and safety to ask what they need to ask, feel what they need to feel, even doubt what they need to doubt. That’s how we relate to each other and to Jesus. Enter the dialogue with us as we ask and agree with questions, even when we don’t always have definitive answers.
About our At-Home Meeting: We didn’t make this in a studio, we made this in our real life. And we made it for you. We want to actually connect online. Some people are just checking us out and may connect with one of our other expressions in Circle of Hope, and that is great, but we think something is happening right here—and you can be a part of it right now! It’s totally fine to just watch, but you can also us in the live chat no matter where you are coming from as we experience the meeting together. We want to know you. Come to the second half of the meeting in the Zoom afterhang, every Sunday at 5:40pm, right after the YouTube premiere. Let’s connect.
