CURRENT SERMON SERIES: In God's Presence: Three Ways to Pray October 19 – November 2  Prayer is more than words—it’s a way of being in active relationship with the divine. This three-week sermon series explores the prayer practices of petition, confession, and intercession through a view of God who is profoundly relational, responsive, and ever evolving with creation. Rather than approaching prayer as a way of changing God's mind about a pre-ordained outcome, we’ll discover how these forms open us to deeper transformation, healing, and alignment with the flow of divine love and possibility. Each week will offer a new pathway into God’s presence, helping us cultivate a more honest, compassionate, and empowering spirituality. Join us as we learn to pray not just to God, but with God, in a world alive with divine possibility.
