Making Minyan: The Responsibility of Togetherness

Michael Kengmana

Join us on July 20th at 10:30 am.  We are 6 months into this current presidential administration, but it certainly feels much longer than that. The overwhelming news cycle that inundate us with chaos and heartbreak have left many of us tired. Exhausted. It is in times like these that the responsibility of being together is so important. However, we live in time of polarized politics, when the social contract of our society seems to be unraveling, and spiritual connection can feel harder and harder to come by. In these times when the world feels so fractured we may be facing the question not just of how do we come together, but what does “together” even mean? The hope is that this service is a step towards asking this question, and even perhaps moving towards new ways to possibly define “togetherness” in our world.

We warmly invite you to join us in person, or if you prefer, you can also participate online. We look forward to seeing you there! 

Our service streams to Youtube and Zoom (meeting ID is 466-677-668 and the password is 454623).

Join us for coffee in the Community Room after the service.

From mountain hikes to horseback rides and from science labs to cultural history tours, Lincoln Hills Cares is shaping future leaders grounded in faith, purpose, and care for creation. We welcome church families and community members to get involved and be part of this important work.
