Our lives are full of unexpected twists and turns that give shape to our lived experiences and personal stories. In our final Sunday with August’s ministry theme, “Embodiment,” Rev. Leia shares how exploring and honoring “embodiment” has helped her navigate life’s meandering path. Come join in the story, reflect on your own life experience and opportunities to be more embodied…
and ask the question, “And then what happened?”
