“Listening to Our Breath and Our Body”
|
|
|
|
Pulpit Guest:
The Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings
Worship Leader: Deb Ruesch
We are feeling beings. We are beings that from birth feel deeply. In the process of living, and depending on the culture that influences our living, feeling was subjugated to thinking. This sermon will touch on how listening to our breath and body can support us in healing, wellness, and being resilient as we engage life on life’s terms.

Come as you are - leave inspired!
