NEW FALL SERIES on Raven Fed:

Exploring Spiritual Practices

Do you still feel the "back to school" excitement of starting something new in the fall? I do! In this series, we'll explore spiritual practices so you can experiment and find out what will sustain you in this season of your life. Then, we'll talk about ways to incorporate spiritual practices in your life every day.

Other devotional videos can be found at Pastor Lisa's YouTube channel, Raven Fed. Click here to watch.

Over the course of the week, if you are in need of comfort and worship, "visit" some of the other Alaskan United Methodist churches to watch their worship services. Click here to see the list of churches offering online worship.
