Hello *|FNAME|*,
As we enter the New Year with fresh social and political turmoil in the news every day we are asking this question: What if the world we are hoping for – the future Jesus envisioned – begins now, with the way we live together each and every day?
At The Oceanside Sanctuary, we believe in living the future we hope for, here and now. Between now and Lent, we invite you to join us for our new five-part teaching series: "Becoming The Change We Hope To See."
Together, we’ll dive deeper into our newly updated core values from Mission 2030, our five year vision and mission. These five values are the heartbeat of our community:
Authentic Belonging: A safe, fully LGBTQ+ affirming space where you can bring your whole self.
Integrated Spirituality: Embracing an evolving, curious, and rooted faith.
Sacred Stories: Honoring your life and scripture as sources of transformation.
Liberating Love: Committing to the lifelong journey of practicing Jesus’ way.
Faith in Action: Speaking and acting for justice as a living expression of the gospel.
Whether you are a long-time attendee or someone searching for a spiritual home that is rooted in social justice, there is a place for you at the table.
Join us Sunday, January 11th at 10 am to begin the journey together.
Blessings,
Jason & Jenell Coker
Co-Lead Ministers
PS: Don't forget, our MLK Sunday celebration & immigration ally lunch is on Jan 18th; our next Belonging Class starts Jan 28th; our next Book Club is Feb 5th; and our annual Breath Retreat on Feb 7th.
