Current Series

Women of the Bible: Fall Series

Women have always been called. Women have always led.
God is still speaking through women.

This Fall, BELOVED WAY begins a new seasonal journey through the stories and voices of women in Scripture. This isn’t simply a series about finding women who happen to be admirable characters. It is an invitation to listen for voices that have been there all along—voices that speak of faith, courage, struggle, justice, leadership. 

Scripture gives us women who question, proclaim, resist, nurture, lament, lead, and bear witness. Their stories remind us that God has never required women to remain silent or on the margins. Women have been active participants in the sacred story from the beginning.

Join us on Sundays, September 13th, 20th, and October 11th as we begin listening to their voices—and to the ways God continues to speak through women.

About BELOVED Sundays

You’re welcome to pour yourself a hot drink as we begin with conversation, learning new names and catching up on life. 

We engage in a variety of spiritual practices to re-center and find grounding each week. We incorporate modern practices of mindfulness and the ancient practices of the Christian mystics. We always spend quality time sharing personal prayers for healing of ourselves, our families, and our world.

We dive deep into scripture through contemplative reading and open-minded discussion facilitated by our experienced and talented pastors. Everyone is invited to share questions and bring personal experience to the conversation. Many of us are un-learning old, harmful teachings and finding new ways to relate to our faith. Whether listening or speaking, all are free to participate in whatever way feels right.​​

We celebrate the Lord’s Supper at an open table where all are welcome to participate fully. Virtually, you’re invited to use whatever elements you have on hand at home, such as juice and crackers or wine and bread. Families choose how their children will experience this ancient Christian spiritual practice.

Kids are invited to participate in Worship and Wonder time in a Zoom “breakout” room separate from the rest of the service. Worship and Wonder invites children (age 3 to grade 3) to experience Bible stories in mindful, hands-on ways. Following the model of Sonja Stewart’s “Young Children in Worship,” the stories of the sacred texts are brought to life with neutral visuals, and trained storytellers gently offer the words of the stories, inviting questions and curiosity to grow.

We gratefully welcome free will gifts in any amount by way of check, cash or online.

We usually gather online via Zoom.
