How long?
Worship is rooted in the call “How long?” of the prophet Habakkuk as the people wait on God to be present with them in their deep suffering.

How does Jesus save us?
Our worship series is rooted in the reflections and contemplative practices of Father Richard Rohr on resurrection. Richard Rohr is a Franciscan friar and Catholic priest and the Founding Director of the Center for Action and Contemplation. His writings encourage contemplation as the means of discovering the transformational ways in which he understands that “God is coming to us as our lives.” Worship this morning is rooted in Luke 17:11-19 and invites deeper reflection on how Jesus saves us.
