Cornerstone relies on scripture and/or topical themes to spur spirited discussions with the intention of deepening our spiritual growth. Though primarily a self-taught class, guest speakers from inside and outside the church are brought in occasionally. All are welcome in this class and accepted "as-is" in a spirit of hospitality and inclusivity. Class members are also active participants in the church's outreach programs, including Bethlehem Center, Habitat for Humanity, and Room in the Inn. The class consists primarily of married couples from late 30s to early 50s with children, though not everyone fits this mold nor is it a prerequisite.

Sacred Journeys

Sunday Morning Classes · Sunday,

Intergenerational (Childcare Provided)

Details +

Sacred Journeys is made up of people of diverse ages, interests, backgrounds, and lifestyles who want to deepen their spiritual life. While we occasionally will do a study, usually we gather in a circle to engage in spiritual practices that enrich our inner life. We sing meditative and praise songs, including those from Taize and The Faith We Sing. We sit quietly while led in a guided meditation focusing on breathing and often also on a passage of scripture. We listen in silence for the voice of God. And we share what is on our hearts. We close with a prayer circle in which we lift up the concerns of ourselves and others to God in prayer. We welcome all to this circle!
