From avoidance to embrace...

We all have things we avoid or ignore, sometimes more than we care to admit. And yet embracing these things just might change our lives. Lean into the difficult, awkward, and uncomfortable realities where God does the deeper work and sparks new life.

INVITING MINDFULNESS:
WHAT ABOUT ANGER?

September 8 – 29 • 9:00 AM • Historic Sanctuary

Spiritual Director Lisa Maas will facilitate this four-week small group experience during the Sunday school hour.  Spiritual Direction is sometimes described as “a long, loving look at the real.” In a loving and compassionate circle, we will take  “a long, loving look at anger.” Anger is an emotion some Christians are very uncomfortable with. Together we will explore the energy of anger, what anger may be here to tell us, and how to be with ourselves when we experience anger.

September 18 – 22 • Shillito Park Playground

After 25 years of being adored by children in Lexington, the Shillito playground is in need of replacement so it can continue to be enjoyed by generations to come.

26 years ago the community of Lexington came together to build the first playground. Now it’s time to do it again. And South Elkhorn can help bless our community with our hands, hearts, and help.
