Reorienting with New Life

Fresh Perspectives

August 4, 2021 • Grace Lindvall

In this week’s One Takes, Grace Lindvall shares her thoughts on new life continuing to spring up all around us as we re-orient ourselves into a new normal and way forward after the past 18 months. Grace challenges us to look for ways we can see and embrace new life in our days, making room for new and beautiful experiences, rhythms and routines instead of recreating what was before.

Another way Grace invites us to experience new life is by joining her on a visit to the Brooklyn Collective on August 29. This organization has breathed new life into the once thriving Brooklyn neighborhood which was unjustly destroyed in the name of “urban renewal.” More details on this excursion and a link to sign up are below.

Bob Henderson, senior minister, continues our Lenten series, Wrestling with God: Finding Faith. Bob shares the story of Job with us. This story teaches us about human life and some of the struggles we have to deal with in life. Living in a spiritual desert, Job keeps faith because he knows that God is with him even though he can't find him. He doubles down and keeps on the path even in difficult times.
