Join Pastor Delaney for a 6-week transformative Bible study inspired by the devotional Sacred Belonging by Kat Armas. We'll be exploring what it means to belong to God, to one another, and to the earth through the voices and wisdom often overlooked in traditional spaces. This study's aim is to uncover how God's Spirit is present in the margins and how interconnectedness is central to the gospel.

Meetings will begin weekly on Tuesdays starting July 15th @ 7pm in the church fellowship hall and run through Tuesday, August 19th. A copy of the devotional is not required, as there will be copies of the portions we will explore together available - just bring a Bible and an open mind!

If you have any questions, please contact Delaney (delaney@lovelanducc.org / 614-273-9293). Hope to see you there!

Refreshment volunteers are needed for the month of August. Please sign up on the calendar on the trophy case. Dawn and Karen will be out of town most of August.

I "see" contemplative art as an open door, an invitation. An invitation to rest, to breathe, to withdraw. An invitation to consciousness: to be awake and alert to body, memory, emotion, thought. An invitation to un-consciousness: the forgotten, repressed, denied, lost. An invitation to interact: to question, challenge, change, journey." - Chuck Wright

On Sundays August 3 and 17, Reverend Chuck Wright, retired U.C.C. Clergy, photographer, and curious contemplative, will lead a group inquiry into Contemplative Art and the Art of "Belonging," following our worship service and coffee fellowship. Our sessions will be approximately one hour (11:30-12:30) in the Sanctuary.

In our first session (August 3) you will be invited to choose one of Chuck's contemplative photographs as a focus for your own reflection. You'll have a chance to explore your thoughts, feelings, memories, and relationships with your unique experience of belonging as inspired by the photograph.

For the second session (August 17) you will be invited to create a piece of art (photograph, painting, sketch, digital creation, sculpture, poetry, crochet piece, etc), bring a piece of art, or use one of Chuck's photographs, to share your contemplative experience with the art of belonging over the previous two weeks.

You are invited to participate in these explorations in whatever way leads you to self-knowledge, enlightenment, and beauty for your life journey. If you have questions os suggestions for Chuck he may be reached at wrightrev@aol.com Namaste!
