We are the Body: Broken & Blessed
Practicing Wholeness
in the Journey from Epiphany to Easter
What does Paul's exhortation to "glorify God in our bodies" (1 Corinthians
6:20) mean, especially with all of our flaws and brokenness? What can we
learn from the healing stories of Jesus? To what healing is each of us
being called? And how might we be called to bring healing to
others? Come explore these questions with us in a practice which deepens
the breath, stretches the body, and renews the spirit in accompaniment
with the healing strains of the harp. All youth and adults are welcome!
