"Uprooted, Not Yet Replanted: The Spiritual Struggles of these Liminal Times"​

It’s been disorienting, to say the least. The volatility of Trump’s second term, the crumbling of norms, the destruction of jobs, lives, and institutions has left so many of us no longer being able to rely on “business as usual.” And with COVID, conflict, ministerial transition, and the open consideration of relocation, “business as usual” at First Church has been in flux for even longer. Living in a liminal time, where one way of being has ended and the “new normal” hasn’t quite taken shape, can be spiritually and emotionally painful. And yet, if we practice discernment, it can also present opportunities for us to live in to who we are truly called to be. Join us for a reflection on how discernment might guide us, as people, and as a community, in these liminal times.
