				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In week three of our “Liturgy: Work for the People” series, we explore the practice of confession and what it means to embody reconciliation in community. Reflecting on Jesus’ words in Matthew 18, we consider the hard work of healthy relationships, forgiveness, honest conversations, and learning to listen well. Rather than guilt and shame, confession becomes an invitation into healing, accountability, and the kind of community where grace and forgiveness are practiced together.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In week two of our “Liturgy: Work for the People” series, we continue along the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, exploring the movement of Word and Reflection. As the disciples walk in confusion and grief, Jesus meets them right where they are—not with immediate answers, but with presence, story, and interpretation.

What does it mean to embody wisdom in our everyday lives? In a world shaped by distraction and disconnection, how do we become attentive to what’s happening within us—and around us? What voices are forming us? And what if the wisdom we’re searching for isn’t far away, but already present in the ordinary moments and people we often overlook?

In this opening week of Liturgy: Work for the People, we explore how worship is more than routine—it’s an invitation to participate. Instead of asking “What’s in it for me?”, what if we showed up ready to be shaped together?

Through the story of the road to Emmaus, we reflect on how God meets us in unexpected places and calls us into deeper connection—with ourselves, one another, and the work of love, justice, and compassion.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In week four of our Sent Forth series, we reflect on the line from our dismissal prayer: “May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe you can make a difference in this world.”

Together, we explore the relationship between faith, the stories we tell ourselves, and the courage it takes to challenge harmful narratives about our worth, identity, and impact. What if faith isn’t certainty, but the willingness to wrestle with our beliefs and trust that a better story is possible?

This week, we are invited to question the narratives that tell us we are not enough and instead to embrace the “foolish” hope that the way we show up in the world truly matters.

				<description><![CDATA[In week four of our Sent Forth series, we reflect on the line from our dismissal prayer: “May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe you can make a difference in this world.”

Together, we explore the relationship between faith, the stories we tell ourselves, and the courage it takes to challenge harmful narratives about our worth, identity, and impact. What if faith isn’t certainty, but the willingness to wrestle with our beliefs and trust that a better story is possible?

This week, we are invited to question the narratives that tell us we are not enough and instead to embrace the “foolish” hope that the way we show up in the world truly matters.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In Week 3 of our Lenten series “Sent Forth,” we explore what it means to be blessed with tears to shed. Rather than ignoring sadness, grief, or suffering, we consider how these experiences can deepen our compassion and connection with others. Looking at the story of Jesus weeping with Mary and Martha, we reflect on how true compassion grows from acknowledging our own pain and shared humanity. What if our tears are not weakness—but an invitation to walk with others in hope?
