Diving Deeper - Spiritual Reflections: Faith Practices for Social Justice Work
Sundays, January 5, 12 & 19, 9:30am
Join us in Diving Deeper at 9:30am in the Youth Lounge as Rev. Dr. Vanessa Hawkins, our Designated Associate Presbytery Leader, leads us in Diving Deeper. In pursuing social justice, it is always good to know how our lives have been ordered. Our lives have been shaped by certain events and individuals—parents, relatives, teachers, siblings, church leaders, etc. Their influences have shaped us consciously and unconsciously. Contemplative practices are tools that helps us explore how others have shaped how we see the world and engage it. Over three weeks, we will examine our lives to discover how events, geography, and others have shaped how we understand ourselves, justice, and God. This class will use spiritual writing, guided meditations, and other spiritual practices to explore how one understands justice and the factors that have impacted one’s path as a justice seeker.
