This Sunday at Northwoods

Join us this Sunday at 10:30am for

Life After the Comma: The Practice of Presence

In our Covenant of Right Relations, we agree to “stay in the conversation, even when conflicts arise.” Staying in the conversation isn’t the same thing as staying in the argument—and it’s not the same as agreement, either. What makes us want to leave the conversation—and what helps us remain present when relationship becomes uncomfortable? This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to practice curiosity, courage, and connection on the other side of the comma.
