SUMMARY:Faith's Imagination with Rev. Dr. Nancy Victorin-Vangerud
DESCRIPTION:Join the Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSundays 9-9:50am (starting January 11) in the Longfellow Room \n\n\n\nBy gathering before worship\, we connect with care and conversation\, preparing ourselves to enter into celebration. We ground ourselves with thoughtful questions\, seeking to re-imagine Christian meaning and embodied paths of spiritual practice. Sometimes our focus is a scripture series\, a timely book\, poetry\, or an all-church read.   \n\n\n\nThemes that speak to us are social and environmental justice\, democratic pluralism\, inclusive communities\, and reparative futures.  And… there’s coffee!  For more info\, email Nancy Victorin-Vangerud (nmvicvang@gmail.com). \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83864480520?pwd=wIS3JRiBF5VLul1dkLUdh8YzFQtYHU.1 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 838 6448 0520Passcode: 054671 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2026\, we’ll be exploring historic and contemporary personal letters to shape spirituality calling us for our time: \n\n\n\nWinter Jan 11 – Feb 15: “When We Are Called to Dissent and Resist\,” based on the letters of Lt. Silas Soule\, who refused to follow orders and participate in the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre\, Colorado. \n\n\n\nLent Feb 22 – April 5: “Letters from the Heart: Voices of Courage\, Conscience and Consolation\,” starting with Paul (2 Cor. 3:2-3)\, we’ll explore letters (and the lives of the letter-writers) from clergy and lay leaders influential in Christian spirituality–Hadejwich\, Martin Luther\, Sarah Crosby\, Dietrich Bonhoeffer\, Martin Luther King Jr.\, and Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. \n\n\n\nSpring April 12 – May 17: “Letters to Pope Francis: Rebuilding a Church with Justice and Compassion”\, by Matthew Fox\, as we prepare for his Earth Sunday visit with HAUMC! We’ll explore Fox’s letters for the sake of the Community of Creation. \n\n\n\nClass is led by Nancy Victorin-Vangerud\, participants\, and guests. Feel free to email Nancy for more information and sign up\, so that weekly letters can be sent by email.  \n\n\n\nFor January Communications: Witness at Sand Creek: The Life and Letters of Silas Soule

SUMMARY:Walking Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Mornings in the Art Gallery before Worship \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou’re invited to stretch your mind and your soul\, to print peace and serenity on this moment of overwhelming grief and trauma. \n\n\n\nBeginning January 18\, our church will hold 20 minutes of guided walking meditations before worship.  \n\n\n\nWalking has long been a contemplative practice in both the Christian and Buddhist traditions. In this time when many of us feel powerless and overwhelmed\, movement of our bodies can lead to a movement in what we think\, feel\, and how we’re called to act.  \n\n\n\nAs we stretch our legs\, we stretch our minds and our souls. St Augustine\, himself a great walker\, remarked\, “Solvitur ambulando;” it is solved by walking.–Walking in This World\, Julia Cameron \n\n\n\nWe walk all the time\, but usually it is more like running. When we walk like that\, we print anxiety and sorrow on the Earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earch.–Being Peace\, Thich Nhat Hahn
