Sunday afternoon, May 2, our church will host a two-hour “Christian Mindfulness Retreat” via Zoom from 2:00 – 4:00 pm CDT.
Come join us any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday during the next two weeks as we meet to learn about and explore the ancient practice of “Christian Mindfulness.”
41 years ago this month, I was in a “Contemporary Theology” class at Hendrix College, and it had a tremendous influence on my faith journey and the trajectory of choices I have made since then.

This is an unusually difficult, “liminal time” in our world’s history. The journey through this will not be easy. And it will be a long trek. We will need to do a lot of soul-searching and soul-care in the moments along the way. You and your soul are invited to join me and others on this journey for “Practicing Prayerful Presence,” any or every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 am.
