Nathan shares a message about the difference between chronological time and God's timeless kairos. He invites us to see time as a gift and worship as an intersection with eternity.

Laura Simmons shares a reflection about how she stayed at her troubled church because even as a newish Christian, she understood the difference between God and God's people and institutions. We had a time of Worship Sharing in small groups around these queries:

When have you found yourself tempted to “throw out the baby Jesus with the bathwater”?

What makes your faith resilient?

How does (or can) this community support you in your faith?

Nathan Meckley shares a message about how no one ever steps in the same river twice. It is not the same river, and it is not the same person. And speaking on the topic of the entering the silence of worship he says, "If it is truly a living river, then neither it nor I can ever be the same twice."

Nathan Meckley shares about Pentecost’s message of direct experience of the Divine and the Quaker understandings of the Inner Teacher and Spirit-led faith.

Quaker tradition prioritizes direct spiritual experience and direct guidance of the Inner Teacher available to all. What role does this direct experience have in your life? "What canst thou say?" (George Fox)

What change happens in the wake of the direct experience? Freedom? Comfort? Empowerment? Insight?...

During waiting worship, consider opening to experiencing Divine Presence in ways beyond those most familiar - or comfortable - for you.

Nathan shares a message about the Ascension and the possibility that the void after loss is the precondition for the thing God is going to do. What might you be gazing at, focused upon, from which you may need to turn for something new? Every ending or departure creates a space. Is that space emptiness? Is it openness? Is it something else? For what promise or Presence is space needed in your life, and in the life of this community?

Keri Kimberly shares stories about her family and childhood, illustrating the impact community has on all of us. Every person, from the youngest to the oldest, has something to teach us, and we form an interconnected web. We never cease to need a community to offer us friendship, to serve as examples, and to offer us guidance from a unique perspective.

Bethany Lee shares that the word radical originated from the idea of a root. Radical is not always like the extremes of a pendulum or spectrum, but extreme, like, the tips of the roots at the very edges of the nervous system taking in what is needed. Bethany wondered, “where might I need to be that kind of radical now?”

Nathan Meckley shares a message about the woods he grew up around and how we come to love nature through paying attention and personal connection, and how this invites us to reflect on our relationship with creation and how we should live.

Mica Coffin shared a message about what tools or doorways have not been helpful or not helpful for her spiritual growth.

Nathan Meckley shares that “Mark doesn’t give us a classic happy ending, all tied up in a nice Easter bow.” The resurrection story continues to challenge everything we consider an ending. Is there anywhere in the world, is there anywhere in your life, that God’s redeeming work of love still needs to touch?
