Liturgy As we gather now in community, for some of us, our earliest language was shame. For some of us, we learned to hide ourselves. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. We pray for courage to live unmasked, to risk being fully seen as we are, to recognize and honor the glory in the mirror. Where […]

Liturgy Lord God, we come to you this morning as fragile beings. Oftentimes, we hide our vulnerability from each other declaring ourselves weak and unloveable. We’ve calloused our delicate hearts to survive our daily hardships. Unknowingly, these hardened hearts have kept us from true connection with you, dear God, one another, and ourselves. Vox, accept this invitation to remove these […]

Liturgy Pay attention to your breathing for a moment.

As we effortlessly receive the nourishment of the breath, may we also join together this morning in training ourselves to effortlessly receive the nourishment […]
