“It’s in the Details: Encountering the Eternal through the Limited” - Steve DeLaney, Guest Worship Leader

Our world is filled with profound challenges, and our times seem to call for immense change and effort. We long for life on the soul level – as deep and real and brave as possible. The strange mystery seems to be this: the only way to encounter the eternal is through the limited. The only way to draw close to perfection is to love imperfect things. The only way to the freedom of love is through local, practical, sometimes difficult acts. Diapers. Mops. Meetings.

Join Steve DeLaney in person or online as we reflect on the call to courage and love through small, intimate acts of care and compassion.
