Storylines:
Doing Our Origins Work Together
Facilitator: Pastor April Blaine
4 Wednesdays
at 4pm or 6:30pm
starting October 15 or 22
This four-week small group will help us explore the deep threads of our own stories as we move through the Season of Origins.
Together we’ll reflect on three “lines” that shape who we are: Landlines — the places we’ve come from and the stories of how and why movement happened; Bloodlines — the people who formed our cultural experiences and how their stories of trauma, loss, and opportunity shaped us; and Songlines — the practices, rituals, faith, and spirit traditions that have given us resilience, healing, and courage for liberation and justice.
Each week we’ll invite these stories into the light, name what they ask us to face, seek places of healing and repair, and imagine how new understanding can transform the way we live our story in the world.
Two Options
- Wednesdays 4-5pm, October 15 – November 5, Sanctuary building, parlor (accessible)
- Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm, October 22 – November 12, Sanctuary building, room 306/308 (upstairs, education wing).
