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:Friday Coffee and Connection with Pastor Elizabeth 
DESCRIPTION:Join the Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Pastor Elizabeth for a weekly time of sharing conversation\, coffee\, and topical study!\n\n\n\nCome join us for an opportunity to find your unique path to spiritual growth led by Pastor Elizabeth.  \n\n\n\nFriday mornings we meet in the Longfellow Room from 10:00 – 11:15. There is coffee and a fine group of humans to enjoy. \n\n\n\nFind our current book below! \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85160384661?pwd=GtOA0nbafgN8jZxcHDqblnQYkNUMEo.1 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 851 6038 4661Passcode: 466813 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Faith of Many Rooms: Inhabiting a More Spacious Christianity by Debie ThomasStarted in March 2026 \n\n\n\nDisillusioned by narrow theologies\, church dysfunction\, and constricted readings of Scripture\, people are leaving Christianity in droves. But Jesus describes the reign of God as a house with many rooms\, writes Debie Thomas\, one of the most auspicious voices in religious writing today. In this work of sprawling spiritual and literary imagination\, Thomas claims that wherever God dwells\, there is expansiveness and belonging. \n\n\n\nThomas knows what a cramped faith feels like\, what it’s like to wrestle your way out of fundamentalism and toward a more capacious faith. From the diasporic church in which she grew up\, to the disorientations of a deconstructing faith\, to an ample yet orthodox Christianity that makes room for all her identities\, Thomas takes listeners on a deeply personal and profoundly theological odyssey. In A Faith of Many Rooms\, she talks back to jaundiced versions of faith and finds evidence that the gospel insists on its own roominess. \n\n\n\nThe kind of God who decided to experience the world as a guest likely feels constrained by our pinched theologies too. What sorts of ruptures and revisions would it take to find a more spacious faith—and then to inhabit it with authenticity and joy? Fans of Christian Wiman\, Cole Arthur Riley\, and Barbara Brown Taylor will find in this book an ardent\, lyrical take on a faith transfigured.
