SUMMARY:Friday Coffee and Connection with Pastor Elizabeth | CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:Friday Mornings | 10-11:30am | Longfellow Room & Zoom \n\n\n\nPlease note: Coffee and Connection with Pastor Elizabeth is canceled on Friday\, July 3\, 2026. \n\n\n\nJoin Pastor Elizabeth for a weekly time of sharing conversation\, coffee\, and topical study! Come for an opportunity to find your unique path to spiritual growth led by Pastor Elizabeth. We meet on Friday mornings in the Longfellow Room—there is coffee and a fine group of humans to enjoy! \n\n\n\nFind our current book below!*We start a new book on Friday\, May 29! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 851 6038 4661 \n\n\n\nNotice: Zoom Passwords Have Changed! \n\n\n\nIf you are a zoom regular or are just interested in checking out one of our events via zoom\, our passwords have changed as of May 15\, 2026. Please contact your small group leader\, or HAUMC reception at reception@haumc.org to receive the new password for your event! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Altar in the World by Barbara Brown TaylorStarted on May 29\, 2026 \n\n\n\nIn her critically acclaimed Leaving Church (“a beautiful\, absorbing memoir.”—Dallas Morning News)\, Barbara Brown Taylor wrote about leaving full-time ministry to become a professor\, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith. Now\, in her stunning follow-up\, An Altar in the World\, she shares how she learned to encounter God beyond the walls of any church. \n\n\n\nFrom simple practices such as walking\, working\, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings\, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of devotion if we pay attention to what we are doing and take time to attend to the sights\, smells\, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. Under Taylor’s expert guidance\, we come to question conventional distinctions between the sacred and the secular\, learning that no physical act is too earthbound or too humble to become a path to the divine. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives\, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go\, in nearly everything we do.

SUMMARY:Friday Coffee and Connection with Pastor Elizabeth 
DESCRIPTION:Friday Mornings | 10-11:30am | Longfellow Room & Zoom \n\n\n\nJoin Pastor Elizabeth for a weekly time of sharing conversation\, coffee\, and topical study! Come for an opportunity to find your unique path to spiritual growth led by Pastor Elizabeth. We meet on Friday mornings in the Longfellow Room—there is coffee and a fine group of humans to enjoy! \n\n\n\nFind our current book below! *We start a new book on Friday\, May 29! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 851 6038 4661 \n\n\n\nNotice: Zoom Passwords Have Changed! \n\n\n\nIf you are a zoom regular or are just interested in checking out one of our events via zoom\, our passwords have changed as of May 15\, 2026. Please contact your ministry leader\, or HAUMC reception by email (reception@haumc.org) or by phone (612-871-5303) to receive the new password for your event! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Altar in the World by Barbara Brown TaylorStarted on May 29\, 2026 \n\n\n\nIn her critically acclaimed Leaving Church (“a beautiful\, absorbing memoir.”—Dallas Morning News)\, Barbara Brown Taylor wrote about leaving full-time ministry to become a professor\, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith. Now\, in her stunning follow-up\, An Altar in the World\, she shares how she learned to encounter God beyond the walls of any church. \n\n\n\nFrom simple practices such as walking\, working\, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings\, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of devotion if we pay attention to what we are doing and take time to attend to the sights\, smells\, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. Under Taylor’s expert guidance\, we come to question conventional distinctions between the sacred and the secular\, learning that no physical act is too earthbound or too humble to become a path to the divine. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives\, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go\, in nearly everything we do.

Now\, in her stunning follow-up\, An Altar in the World\, she shares how she learned to encounter God beyond the walls of any church. \n\n\n\nFrom simple practices such as walking\, working\, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings\, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of devotion if we pay attention to what we are doing and take time to attend to the sights\, smells\, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. Under Taylor’s expert guidance\, we come to question conventional distinctions between the sacred and the secular\, learning that no physical act is too earthbound or too humble to become a path to the divine. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives\, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go\, in nearly everything we do.
