Talking Resiliency into Being
Service Leaders: Vince Waldron
Sunday, June 26 at 10:30 AM
|
| Strength is something that we all seek in our lives. And yet there are so many stories and metaphors about strength - some which are harmful or misleading. What are the ways we can look at strength that help give us courage but also flexibility for this divisive time in which we live? |

General Assembly From Home
|
| If you can't make it to General Assembly (GA) in Columbus, Ohio, this year, consider registering as an off-site participant. In addition to watching all the events in the session hall - like the Ware Lecture, the Service of the Living Tradition, and the banner parade, which are available to the public - you'll be able to participate in 8 workshops via video and live chat and watch video of an additional 20 workshops. You can also be an off-site delegate for your congregation. Off-site delegates can watch, speak in, and vote in all business sessions including mini-assemblies. Don't miss GA just because you can't make it to Columbus! Register on our website, and learn how to show GA video in your congregation! Visit the link below for more information. |
