Rev. Linda encourages us all to identify and engage in a spiritual practice which refreshes our spirits. For her, it is swimming. And for a faith community, it is helping each other find the holy in our lives and practice together!

Here is a video accompanying the sermon. We cannot include it as part of the service video because we don’t have rights to it.
