June 7, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Welcoming and Belonging"
Even in our loneliest hours, our very longing for belonging can feel risky. What will we be asked to sacrifice in order to belong? What harm might we experience if we let others close? What will others think of us if we reveal who we truly are?
It's perhaps easier for many of us to focus on the work of creating welcoming places for others than it is to acknowledge our own needs. Yet our wish to be welcoming is intertwined with and deeply related to our human need for belonging. Neither can be realized separately from the other.
What new possibilities might emerge when we practice letting people in?
This video sermon explores these possibilities.
